Escape the Buffet: Your Private Evening in Ancient Side

Are you dreaming of a truly special evening out? An evening away from the hotel buffet, where you can taste authentic Turkish cuisine, watch the sunset over the Mediterranean, and wander through ancient moonlit ruins at your own pace?

We have created the perfect culinary escape for you. This isn’t a rigid, scheduled tour. This is your personal invitation to a memorable evening at Güven Restaurant, one of Ancient Side’s most beloved seaside dining spots, complete with the ultimate convenience: a free, private VIP transfer directly from your hotel.

This is your night, on your schedule.

What’s Included in This FREE Service?

My partner wants a special night out, but there's an important football match on. Can we do both?

You don’t have to choose between a romantic dinner and the big game! Güven Restaurant understands its guests perfectly. They have screens available to show major live sporting events. You can enjoy a delicious seaside meal, soak in the historic atmosphere of Side, and still keep an eye on the score. It’s the perfect compromise for a perfect evening out.

How 'flexible' is the free return transfer? Are we on a strict time limit to explore Side?

There is absolutely no rush. This is your night, on your schedule. After your dinner, you are free to explore Ancient Side for as long as you wish. Wander to the Temple of Apollo, browse the shops, or enjoy a walk along the harbour.
