Watch Cycling in Side: Giro, Tour de France and Vuelta 2027
You can watch cycling in Side at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in the old town. Our 5–6 TVs show cycling alongside football, tennis and ice hockey, on different screens at once. The 2027 highlights are the Giro (8–30 May), the Tour de France (2–25 July) and the Vuelta (4–26 September). Message ahead and we'll set a screen.
Cycling on the screens in Side old town
Hawaii Restaurant & Bar has been serving in Side old town since 2000 and is open every day from 10:00 to 02:00. We run 5–6 TVs on paid sports subscriptions, and cycling is now part of what we show, along with football, tennis, ice hockey and Formula 1. Because different events can be shown on different screens at the same time, a mountain stage does not have to compete with a football match for the same TV.
We never promise that a particular race will be on a particular screen, especially on busy weekends. The simple fix: message us on WhatsApp +90 533 930 12 83 with the race and stage you want, and we'll set a screen for it.
Cycling time in Side: the one rule you need
Türkiye stays on UTC+3 all year. Most European races run on Central European time, so:
- Winter (until 27 March 2027): Side is 2 hours ahead of Italy, France, Spain and Belgium.
- Summer (from 28 March 2027): Side is 1 hour ahead of those countries.
- UK stages: in July, Side is 2 hours ahead of British time, which matters for the first days of the 2027 Tour de France.
We do not publish stage finish times here, because organisers confirm them stage by stage. Check the official race schedule for each day and add the difference above.
The 2027 Grand Tours
| Race | Scheduled dates | Start and finish |
|---|---|---|
| Giro d'Italia | Sat 8 – Sun 30 May 2027 | Starts in Trieste, with stage 2 crossing into Slovenia; finishes in Rome. |
| Tour de France | Fri 2 – Sun 25 July 2027 | Grand Départ in Edinburgh; the first three stages run through Scotland, England and Wales; finishes on the Champs-Élysées, Paris. |
| Vuelta a España | 4 – 26 September 2027 | Expected to start in Galicia; the route was not fully confirmed at the time of writing. |
These are the scheduled dates; check the official race sites before you travel, as details can change. The Tour de France is worth a special note for British guests: a race that starts in Edinburgh and visits Wales in its first days is a rare treat to watch with a cold drink from a holiday in Side.
Why a long stage suits a long lunch
A Grand Tour stage is not a 90-minute match. The early breakaway goes, the peloton settles, and the real racing often comes in the final hour. That rhythm fits a slow lunch in Side very well: order a thin-crust pizza from our wood-fired stone oven or something from the charcoal grill, settle in while the race is still calm, and stay for the finish. In summer, the afternoon finale of a European stage lands in the late afternoon or early evening in Side, which leads straight into Happy Hour, every day from 19:00 to 20:00. For ideas on what to eat, see our lunch in Side guide or browse the menu.
Spring Classics and Monuments (expected dates)
The 2027 one-day Monuments are expected on the following dates, based on the published WorldTour calendar as reported. Treat them as provisional and check the official race sites:
- Milan–San Remo: expected Saturday 20 March 2027
- Tour of Flanders: expected Sunday 4 April 2027
- Paris–Roubaix: expected Sunday 11 April 2027
- Liège–Bastogne–Liège: expected Sunday 25 April 2027
Milan–San Remo falls in the winter time rule (Side 2 hours ahead); the April races fall after the clock change, when Side is 1 hour ahead. Il Lombardia, the autumn Monument, is expected on Saturday 9 October 2027.
The 2027 World Championships in Haute-Savoie
The 2027 UCI Cycling World Championships, a combined "Super Worlds", are scheduled for 24 August to 5 September 2027 in Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc, France, with the track events at Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. The key road dates:
- Elite time trials: Wednesday 1 September 2027, around Lake Annecy
- Men's elite road race: Sunday 29 August 2027, Sallanches to Domancy
- Women's elite road race: Sunday 5 September 2027, closing the championships
In late summer Side is 1 hour ahead of France, so a weekend afternoon race fits neatly before dinner.
This winter: Cyclo-cross World Cup
The road season is over for 2026, but cyclo-cross keeps going through the winter, and Belgian and Dutch fans in particular follow it closely. The scheduled 2026–27 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup rounds still to come:
- Fri 27 Nov 2026 Ostrava and Sun 29 Nov Tábor (Czech Republic)
- Sun 13 Dec Glasgow (UK)

- Sun 24 Jan Hoogerheide (Netherlands), the final round
In winter Side is 2 hours ahead of the continental rounds and 3 hours ahead of Glasgow. Check the official World Cup schedule for race times.
