The Green and Blue-pointed EBU Congress in autumn 2025 will take place on the beautiful turquoise Turkish coast, close to the old town of Side. Offering pleasant temperatures, Turkey is a perfect winter destination and is open all year round. The Old Town of Side is a must-see if you’re looking for a unique shopping experience. Located in the city's heart, the streets are filled with shops selling handmade crafts and locally made goods. You can find everything from traditional Turkish pottery and textiles to souvenirs and gifts. The Old Town is also great for trying traditional Turkish food and for browsing the various shops offering clothing, jewellery, and other items.
We stay at the 5-star Sense De Luxe Hotel, which occupies a fantastic location on the Turkish coast. Here, you can relax at the hotel’s private beach area with free parasols and sun loungers.
