Be A King At The Alanya Castle
Discover the old walls of the castle and learn about its rapturous history since the time of the ancient Greeks while exploring the narrow streets with red-roofed Ottoman-era homes and historical buildings! Climb the winding lanes to the Ic Kale (the castle's inner fortress) to see the older Seljuk and Byzantine ruins and be rewarded with breath-taking views of the sea and the Taurus Mountains!
Ride Alanya Teleferik
Hop on and ride the cable car from Cleopatra Beach to the lower castle neighbourhood of Ehmedek, which is the most picturesque way to get to Alanya’s castle area. The cable car runs from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, and the ride over the cliff is ideal for seeing the coast at sunset.
Relax At Kleopatra Beach
Take a dip in the same waters as Queen Cleopatra! According to local mythology, the Egyptian queen used to bathe in the river at the base of Alanya Castle! Indulge in some water sports, and to unwind, head over to the promenade to spend a wonderful afternoon eating your heart out!
Get Spellbound At The Dim Caves
Explore the second-largest cave in Turkey, all the way down to the lagoon at the cave's lowest level, and be mesmerised by the limestone interior strewn with enormous stalactite and stalagmite formations.
Uncover The Past
Step back in time at the Alanya archaeological museum and learn about the rich history of the region by spending a day browsing through various artefacts from the region's past, including jewellery, coins, implements, and jugs. Don’t forget to see the bronze Hercules figure from the second century AD, which is the main attraction!
