Temple of Apollo and Athena - Side, Turkey
The remarkable Temple of Apollo and Athena, dating back to the 2nd century, is located in Side Old Town in a picturesque place on the shore of the bay. The Temple is considered as one of the most romantic attractions in Antalya region.
If you have a chance, make sure you go there. The magnificent temple of Apollo and Athena is mostly in ruins, but you get the feeling how it looked like before.
The territory of the temple is small and you can see everything in 30 minutes. The Temple is close to good restaurants where you can have a nice lunch or dinner. So there’s so much to do in that area!

The Temple of Apollo
Visiting the Temple of Apollo was an amazing journey. Located in Delphi, Turkey, it is one of the most magnificent archaeological temples in the world. I was captivated by the beauty, fame, and wonderful archaeological details of the temple. Spirituality and history were intertwined in this magical place. I enjoyed exploring the temple, wandering among the giant columns and art sculptures. I was inspired and reflected on the history of ancient civilizations. The views of the surrounding area of the temple were majestic, with green mountains and charming landscapes. My visit to the Temple of Apollo was a magical experience and reminded me of the splendor of ancient cultural heritage.

Apollo Temple Where Anthony ❤️Cleopatra Met
A visit to the ruins of the Apollo Temple makes for a fascinating experience for lovers of romance and history. It is believed to be the place where Anthony met Cleopatra; he presented the Apollo Temple as a token of his love and devotion to her.
Even without the romantic angle, the Apollo Temple is a magnificent work of architecture dating back to 2nd century AD. What made it different from other temples of that era, is its antechamber which had a pair of massive Corinthian columns. It was built in honor of Apollo, the god of light and music.
