Home away from home feeling! Penny came with a lot of good advises and help and we felt like we are visiting our wise and warm auntie. Location is top for the sand beach and sea were you can swim at night, Old city discovery, local shopping, romantic sunsets, cozy restaurants, visit to museum of local history, garden breakfasts and so much more...

The house is at the heart of Side steps away from water, shops and restaurants. The owners have tastefully and thoughtfully furnished the apartment which made our stay very pleasant. There is a beautiful courtyard with plants and trees.

The location was ideal for wondering around , visiting small shops and exploring the ancient sites. Beaches within walking distance and numerous restaurants and cafes to visited

Only complaint was the weather is was exceptionally rainy for the time of year.

The location is premium, taking the morning coffee looking at the see is much enjoyable and empties the head. (sea view from the kitchen and one of the bedrooms). The apartment has everything one needs, the beds were super comfy, climatization in every room (we used it very little but it's there if needed), spacious and bright living room/kitchen. The garden is very nice and chill, there is a swinging bench that is perfect to end the day. The hosts are wonderful, Penny and Ali are lovely people who are living in a beautiful house right next and are very helpful. To make grocery shopping the cheapest are BIM, A101 and Sok but those usually do not sell any alcohol, if you want beer/wine then you have to go to Carrefour or Migros. To eat there is plenty of choice, in front there is The Taste whom the owner is very friendly, you can order there and they will deliver to the door. For a less tourist vibe and more traditional and family atmosphere there is Kalimera in the little alley of Appolon sk., there you will be treated as if you were at a family dinner, you can tell you are not sure what you want to choose and the chef will propose you a bit of everything and put it all on the table like a royal dinner, the food is awesome and very cheap. Side is a one of a kind place, if one likes ancient civilizations then this is the place to go. And anywhere you go in Side, always say that you are with Ali and Penny!

It is not so much as disliked because it is municipal decision so what can we do about it, but cars are now not allowed inside the town (Penny still assisted us in getting with the car in the town in order to drop and then load the luggage, the security at the entrance of the town area will request to leave the car documentation as warranty and will give it back once we leave the town area), then we leave the car in the big parking lot just outside town limits, from there we either walk around 10min to get back to the house or we take the tourist "train" that drops us at the entrance of the town (preferable if coming with grocery shopping) and we walk 2min to get home, (even if the car gets a bit dusty as a result, best to leave the car at the very end in the dirt lot, there you can leave it close to the "train" transport)
