Top 5 things to do in Alanya

Holidays in Alanya serve up fun for families, romance for couples holidays and plenty of action for culture vultures.

The magnificent Alanya Castle dominates the city’s rocky peninsula. Explore the Seljuk Ehmedik Fortress, hundreds of ancient cisterns and incredible views across to the mountains.
A subterranean marvel, the Damlatas Caves are thought to have health-enhancing properties. The belief comes from mineral-rich water that drips from spectacular stalactites and stalagmites.
Alanya boasts plenty of beaches, but Cleopatra Beach is the most famous. Legend has it that the Egyptian queen swam here and it’s located at the foot of Alanya Castle. Snorkel in the crystal-clear water, enjoy water sports and dine along the promenade.
Take a ride on the panoramic Alanya Teleferik. The cable car climbs 250 metres and features sweeping views of the Taurus Mountains, the Gulf of Antalya and the city.
The best way to discover the stunning coastline of the Antalya Province is from the water. Take a boat tour from the harbour to discover dive sites, sea caves and pristine coves.

Alanya historic and cultural attractions

It’s easy to step back in time on Alanya holidays, with its fascinating history on fine display.

Known as the Red Tower, Kizikule Fortress is an icon on Alanya’s skyline and overlooks the harbour. The defence tower soars more than 30 metres high. Climb to the top of around 70 steps and you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views.
Admire jewellery, coins, tools and jugs in the Alanya Archaeological Museum. A highlight is a bronze statue of Hercules from the second century AD.
The founder of the Turkish Republic, Kemal Ataturk, spent time at the Ataturk House Museum. You’ll see memorabilia including historical documents, photos and period furniture.
Get your camera ready for an Instagram-worthy shot of the Tersanesi’s five pointed arches. The Seljuk-built shipyard is reached via a wooden pathway from the Red Tower.
Experience the colourful chaos of Alanya Bazaar and buy authentic Turkish souvenirs. You’ll find exotic spices, handmade jewellery, lamps, ceramics and carpets.

Beaches

Beaches in Alanya

If it’s golden sand and azure seas you’re looking for, beach holidays to Alanya don’t disappoint.

Damlatas Beach is an extension of Cleopatra Beach and just as much fun. Hire a sunbed, let the kids loose in the playground and sip cocktails at vibrant beach bars.
Calm waters, lifeguards and water sports make Alanya’s East Beach a family favourite. It’s located in the centre of town and just steps from Alanya hotels, restaurants and shops.
The Blue Flag beach of Portakal is just outside of the city centre and therefore a little less crowded. Jet ski, windsurf and snorkel over the pebbly seabed.
Pack a picnic to spend the day at Ulas Beach and make the most of the barbecues. Take your snorkelling gear to explore rocky outcrops.
All-inclusive hotels line Tosmur Beach, a spacious stretch of sand dotted with sunbeds and umbrellas. Water sports bring the action and beach bars deliver the cocktails.

Beach-hopping around Alanya

Alanya holidays put you in the heart of the Turkish Riviera and enough beaches to keep you hopping across the coast to your heart’s content.

The Taurus Mountains almost meet the ocean in the seaside town of Konaliki, creating a serene natural backdrop. A peaceful vibe makes it a favourite among families, but you’ll also find plenty to do with water sports.
Explore the ancient port city of Side and cool off at Side Beach. Settle in at sunbeds on the golden sand, try windsurfing and fuel up at restaurants along the promenade.
White sand is fringed by shady palm trees at the Blue Flag Belek Public Beach. After a swim, tee off at a range of championship golf courses surrounding the resort.
Take a day trip to stretch out on the soft, golden sands of Lara Beach. Often referred to as Turkey’s version of Las Vegas, there’s plenty of fun to be had off the sand too.
Located close to the city centre, Konyaalti is one of Antalya’s most famous Blue Flag stretches. A lush park backs the sand, along with dramatic mountains in the distance. You’ll enjoy water sports, sunbeds and restaurants.

Serious clubbers head to Robin Hood, a three-level nightclub that pumps tunes ranging from hip-hop to Latin beats. Each floor features a different theme and music genre to keep everyone happy.

Food & Drink

Traditional food to try in Alanya

Can’t wait to eat like the locals? Alanya holidays offer foodies the chance to feast on world-renowned Turkish cuisine.

Piyaz is big news in the Antalya Province, as the typical Turkish side salad is served as a main meal here. Dried beans, herbs and onions blend with tahini, vinegar and lemon juice.
When you’ve got a craving for pancakes, head to a bakery or street food stall for gozleme. Often cooked on outdoor grills, they’re stuffed with fillings like cheese, potatoes and spinach, and served with a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and parsley.
Grilled meat fans are in heaven on holidays to Turkey. Whether you eat it in kebabs, on skewers or with meze platters, it’s always juicy and tasty.
Along with baklava and Turkish Delight, Turkish ice cream thrills your sweet tooth. A dizzying array of flavours include sour cherry, melon and pistachio.
Fulfil your love of tea served in traditional, tulip-shaped glasses. Black tea is one of the national beverages, however, herbal teas like apple, rosehip and linden flower are a joy to sample.
