In 2024, the excavations in the Sacred Harbour Area, which includes the temples of Athena, Apollo and Demeter and is located east of Side Harbour, were carried out by the Ancient City of Side Excavations Bureau under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey.
As part of this work, it was determined that the building complex visible to the east of the Temple of Demeter was an ancient hamam built in late antiquity, while the semi-circular Temple of Demeter is a cultural structure built in the early 3rd century AD. Selectum Hotels & Resorts has made it its mission to support the excavation work financially and ideally and has contributed to the rapid completion of the excavation and simple restoration work on the ancient hamam.
Selectum Hotels & Resorts is pleased to bring to light the cultural treasures in this ancient region, where its hotels are located, and to preserve them for future generations.
