We are situated about 2 km outside of the ancient,
yet beautiful port town of SiDE. (p.Seeday). The Gazipasa Hotel &
Apartments are a family run establishment that are both modern and
traditional. Modern in decor and facilities, with tiles and marble in
abundance.
The Hotel & Apartments are beautifully clean with
regular maid service, the grounds of the Hotel are also well maintained.
There are Banana trees, Orange, Lemon, Avocado and Grape, to name but a
few: there are palm and cactus growing naturally too. The swimming pool
is a haven for the sun-worshipers amongst us, there are also plenty of
sun beds for you to enjoy. Meanwhile, while you sip your way through a
long cool drink from the pool bar, you may want to cast an eye over the
tastily varied menu on offer for your delight. Meals here are give-away
cheap by English standards (Cheap by Turkish standards too), yet quality
and variety is never compromised. There is a very good range of
traditional Turkish food through to simple pizza or sandwiches, the
choice is yours!
We feel that after a stay at our Hotel or
Apartments, the only problem that you are likely to take home with you
is..................when to come back!!!!
For a really interesting
day out, why not take a trip into the incredible Taurus
Mountains.Only about 40 minutes drive from Side (by car), once
there you can easily expect to use a couple of rolls of film
recording the splendor of the breath taking views (so make sure
your cam-corder batteries are charged) .
The best route is quite
easy to navigate, being really only one road into the mountains
(A map is recommended)
The route takes you past
the incredible Manavgat waterfalls. Surging down from the
mountains, this spectacle of nature is an oasis of your dreams.
One can refresh themselves, sit and drink wonderful coffee (or
tea, etc), use yet another roll of film, or simply take a deep
breath and admire the view.
The Manavgat waterfalls
are not high but the current is very powerful and the water
nushes milky white over the rocks. Next to the waterfalls are
shady tea gardens and restaurants making it a pleasant, cool
rest spot, espeicially welcome after a day of sightseeing. At
Manavgat, it is possible to take a delihtful boat trip and
explore this lovely area.
