How do you get between Manavgat and Side, including the Apollo Temple, by dolmuş or local minibus?

For Manavgat, use the stop opposite the Aquamarine Hotel after leaving the hotel and turning left. The fare is about 70 lira; tell the driver that you need to get off in Manavgat.

There's a stop right by the hotel's main entrance — board a dolmuş marked 'Side'. The driver will take you to the otogar (bus station) in Side. From there, walk through the Old Town toward the seafront, heading toward the yacht masts and the sea; along the way you'll pass the Roman amphitheater. The Apollo Temple is the final point — five columns at the tip of the cape.

The newest clue in the discussion is that travelers were specifically checking whether dolmuş No. 2 goes to Manavgat. They also wanted to know if there is a stop right by the hotel, so they would not need to walk to the main road.

In an earlier message, travelers asked for a practical trip report to Manavgat: where to board, what vehicle to take, and how long the ride to town actually takes. That suggests the main concerns on the Manavgat–Side route are the boarding point and travel time.

The earliest question was specifically about getting from Manavgat to Side’s Apollo Temple. Travelers wanted to know which local minibuses to use and the best stop to board from, so the destination was not just Side in general but the old town and temple area.
