All About Alanya

There's more to Alanya than just relaxing by the beach.

With its vast beaches, historic sites, the innumerable fish restaurants of its modern hotel and motels as well as its cafes and bars, Alanya, is an outstanding holiday getaway.

The first thing that greets the visitor is the 13th century Seljuk Castle, which sits like a crown atop of the Alanya Peninsula. As well as the impressive castle, there is the shipyard and the Red Tower (Kizil Kule) both striking with monumental beauty.

All along the road which runs beside the port are late-night cafes and bars along with colourful boutiques selling handicrafts, leather clothing, jewelry, handbags and local gourds painted with extraordinary colours. Here you will find a safe and invigorating environment with sights and sounds to excite the senses.

If you like to explore then you must see Damlatas Cave, also near the cave is the Ethnography Museum. By Taking a short boat trip you can reach three other caves: the Phosphorous Cave with its phosphoric rocks, Girls Cave (Kizlar Cave), where pirates held their women prisoners, and Lovers Cave (Aziklar Cave).

The cool shade of Dim Brook Valley, 15 km east of Alanya, is an ideal place to get away and relax. This is a truly unique place where the river runs through the valley, from the peaks of the Taurus mountains on into the sea. Here you will find excellent fish restaurants with floating tables on the river or perched on the edge of the valley itself. A must for an amazing dining experience.

The crystal clear sea all around Alanya is excellent for swimming, snorkeling, diving and fishing as well as a host of other water sports.
