Map & location
Side, Antalya Area, Turkey
Calyptus Kirman Premium sits in the Side area of the Antalya coast, a stretch known for its long, sandy beaches and family-friendly vibe. You’re close enough to Side’s harbour and ancient ruins for easy excursions, yet slightly removed from the bustle, so days revolve around the pool, aqua park and beach.
The resort’s private beach area is an easy walk away through a purpose-built tunnel, so there’s no need to cross busy coastal roads. Nearby, you’ll find a small selection of shops, cafés and bars, while Side’s historic centre – with its Temple of Apollo and Roman amphitheatre – makes a superb half-day out.
