Where you stay in Side depends on whether you want to walk to Roman ruins, park yourself at a family aqua park, or hole up in a luxury all-inclusive. The three main areas, old town, Kumkoy, and Titreyengol-Sorgun, each have a distinct character and price band, all covered in the Side neighborhoods guide. This page is part of our Side travel guide.
Where to Stay in Side: Old Town for History and Atmosphere
Staying in the old town puts the ruins, harbour, and best seafood restaurants on your doorstep, but rooms are smaller and most are boutique rather than resort-style. You will not find big pools or aqua parks here, and you may have to walk from the car park to your hotel. It is the right pick for couples and short stays, with the main things to do in Side a few minutes’ walk away.
Suggested Hotels in Old Town

Where to Stay in Side: Kumkoy for Families and Aqua Parks
Kumkoy is the family beach hub, packed with large all-inclusive resorts, water slides, kids clubs, and a wide shallow beach. It is the best area if you are travelling with children or want entertainment on site without leaving the hotel. Sea temperatures are warmest from June to September, as the Side weather by month page shows, and for getting between Kumkoy and the old town, see the Side travel tips guide.

Where to Stay in Side: Titreyengol and Sorgun for All-Inclusive Resorts

It is ideal if you plan to spend most of your time on property; for the cheapest weeks, see the best time to visit Side guide.
