    Tips

    October 18, 2022

    In the north of the old quarter of Side near the bus station at the Nymphaeum are the remains of an aqueduct (Turkish: Su Kemeri). This is part of the 2nd century AD. erected a 32-kilometer-long aqueduct that supplied Side with water from the Dumanli spring near today's Oymapinar reservoir in the Taurus Mountains. Since the height difference between the source and the city is only 36 meters, 20 aqueduct bridges and 13 kilometers of tunnels had to be created for the smooth transport of the water. The first three kilometers of the aqueduct are now covered by the water of the Oymapinar reservoir.
