Daytime
Ancient Old Town
Side was once a harbour city; today its streets, ruins and sea paths are part of daily life — not a separate excursion.
Side Old Town, Antalya
Ancient streets, sea air and Carpe Diem at the center.
Side is not just a backdrop. It is the setting of the stay: archaeological streets, coastal walks, public beaches, evening restaurants and sunset views within walking distance.
Location character
Stay inside the living Old Town.
Carpe Diem sits inside Side Old Town, close to the Mediterranean, ancient remains, harbour walks, restaurants and sunset viewpoints. The location is intimate and atmospheric rather than resort-isolated.
Breakfast and dinner downstairs, six rooms above, and the historic streets around you — that is the rhythm of the address.
Experience Side
What guests love about the setting.
Side rewards a walkable rhythm: ancient texture by day, sea and food by evening. Carpe Diem is a small base inside that story — not a gated resort away from it.
Beach time
Public beaches nearby
The hotel has no private beach. Public beaches in Old Town are close enough for easy daytime plans — fees may vary by season.
Evening
Sunset & terraces
Evening light, terrace tables and the social energy of a living coastal town — especially in high season.
