There are several ways to get from Antalya to Side. For travelers on a tight budget, public transport is a good choice.

After getting to Manavgat, you need to take a dolmus minibus (share taxi) to Side, which goes from the very same bus stop.

Minibuses run every 15 minutes, and the remaining distance to Managavt is 6 km, so the fare is only 0.4 dollars.

The travel time in public transport including waiting for the bus and minibus is approximately two hours, and the cost of such trip is about 60 dollars.
