All minibuses stop here. Comfortable. I stopped by in a rental car. I parked, I didn't pay anything. Even if you want to pay, there is no person or terminal. But for some reason the numbers are fixed on the entrance board. I can't say how long it will last. Information for October 2024 Next to the antique Side. This is the nearest parking lot to it. There are plenty of taxis here too.
Yes, we visited this bus station while on vacation in the Side area. Comfortable. It's clear. Public transport runs regularly. Payment for travel for tourists to the driver in lira.
We arrived at the bus station from Manavgat, perfectly located (nearby is a great place for a walk)👍🏻
All buses indicate the regions / groups of hotels where they are going, and if there are difficulties, they will help you themselves (there is always a chief Turkish controller who asks and directs you to the right bus)😊
I was pleased with the clear navigation on buses. On each bus following the "tourist" route (along the coastal zone, where most hotels are located), the names of the hotels that will be along the way are written in large letters + bus drivers are trying to help (if one speaks Russian poorly, a neighbor will definitely come to the rescue and help), as well as most of them keep up with the times and use online translators perfectly!
As a result, our self-propelled journey to the ancient city went perfectly - we never went there and got to the place on the first attempt!
P.S.: At the bus stop, not far from the hotel, an aged Turk walked and persistently found out who was going where. This alerted me (apparently flashbacks from a vacation on our Black Sea coast), because I immediately decided that now I would be persistently offered to go fig knows what and fig knows where. However, it turned out that he radioed the bus drivers that there were people on his route at such and such a stop (so that he would not pass, and you would not jump out onto the road to catch the right one) and said after about how long the right bus would arrive + when the bus arrived, he deftly guided all tourists from the stop 😅 - "This one is up to Side, you four(!) are faster! Nah, woman, you're going to the mall!? This is not yours, your next one"
In general, do not catch flashbacks from the Black Sea coast like me, because the Turks at the bus stop will help you👍
The word "train station" is a very loud name for a bench on the sidewalk, where you can not hide from the rain or the sun.
There is a cafe, a toilet and minibuses in different directions.
The restoration of the old and the improvement of the new are in force, when they are finished, it will probably be beautiful.
An ordinary transport hub. You can get to Manavgat as well as to other areas.
It is better to take some small money to pay for travel. Drivers don't like to give change.

A small bus station, good drivers)
Near the ancient city. It is located in the center of Side. Buses run until 01:00
An ordinary bus station, but without the building itself, there is a small booth where hotels and villages are indicated, you choose a direction and wait for a bus with the appropriate direction, tell the driver the end point, give money (the fee is fixed depending on the destination, there is a price list above the driver with prices, maximum 4.5 lira from the hotel to manavgat)
