With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Side, 30 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Side Harbor, Nashira Aquapark and Manavgat Falls. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Belek, 50 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be The Land of Legends. (But we’d also highly recommend Carya Golf Club and Gloria Golf Club.)
