Apollonik's

Side


Right beside the Temples of Apollo and Athena, Side's oldest bar remains its most popular local hang-out and a favourite sunset spot. It does classically-themed cocktails, salads, burgers and sandwiches at reasonable rates. Sit on the terrace overlooking the harbour, or inside snuggled up on the cushion-strewn sedir (bench) seating.

Even when Side is quiet early in the season, Apollonik's will be full of satisfied punters.
