Fodor's Expert Review Temple of Apollo

If you follow the hustling main street filled with shops selling jewelry and cheap clothes until you reach the water and then turn left, you'll reach the picture-postcard ruins of Side's Roman Temple of Apollo, its gleaming white marble columns set off beautifully by the blue ocean behind it. Millions of visitors a year visit the sun god's ruined temple; come at first light to avoid the crush. Beside it lie the ruins of the temple of Apollo's half-sister Athena, goddess of wisdom and war.
