The region offers plenty of opportunity for watersports, with many hotels providing facilities ranging from pedalos to more active pursuits. For those who enjoy a bit of history, the proximity to the resort area of Side means you are always within reach of ancient, scenic ruins that provide a stunning backdrop for an afternoon stroll.
