In ancient Side there were two colonnaded streets that led from the city gate to the sea. One leads from the main gate in a southerly direction to the sea, the other, the main axis, leads west and then with a few changes of direction to the large square between the temples by the sea. Cars still drive along part of this street as far as behind the theater. Both streets were lined with colonnades on the sides and paved with marble.

A lot of work is being done on the Pillar Street and numerous excavations are taking place. Here you pass the Side old town.

The Colonnaded Streets (Sütunlu Caddeler) are undoubtedly one of the most interesting parts of the ancient city of Side. These streets, reflecting the city's splendor, were once a place where citizens would stroll, enjoy their leisure time, and shop in the numerous nearby shops.

There are two main thoroughfares, or two main streets. Entering through the north gate, the main street leads south to the theater and then to the harbor. There is another street directly east of the gate, the street toward the east gate.

The streets were lined with colonnades and adjacent shops and workshops on the left and right.
