TL;DR
From most hotels along the D400 highway, take a dolmuş (minibus) to the Manavgat bus station (last stop), then transfer to another dolmuş marked "Side" for the 15-20 minute ride to the old town.
What the community said
There's usually no single direct bus to Side old town — you first ride to the Manavgat bus terminal (last stop on the route), then transfer to a local dolmuş heading to Side.

Dolmuş minibuses run frequently, roughly every 15-20 minutes during the day, so the transfer wait is usually short.

Catch a dolmuş from the roadside stop heading to Manavgat, ride to the last stop, then look for a minibus marked "Side" — it goes straight to the old town, and the ride takes about 15-20 minutes.
