Side is a city on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey.
It includes the modern resort town and the ruins of the ancient city of Side, one of the best-known classical sites in the country.
Side was founded by greek settlers in the 7th century BC.
Possessing a good harbour for small craft, Side's natural geography made it one of the most important trade centres in the region.
In 333BC, Alexander the Great occupied Side without a struggle. Later, in the 1st century BC, Side reached a peak when Cilician Pirates established their chief naval base and a centre for their slave trade. Around the year 0, Side was under Roman reign.
