Experience Turkish Rivera

Exploring Alanya from Konakli offers a captivating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Start by driving along the scenic coastline to Alanya Castle, perched on a rocky peninsula, offering panoramic views. Wander through Kaleici's old town, with its Ottoman-era houses, boutique shops, and cosy cafes. Don't miss the Red Tower, symbolising Alanya's maritime past. Dive into the bustling bazaars and bag some souvenirs. Relax on Alanya's palm-lined promenade or enjoy a swim. End your day with a delicious meal at a seaside restaurant, savouring authentic Turkish cuisine.

Party Lights On

As twilight falls, hit the road along the stunning coastline and drive to Alanya. Dive into the city's bustling nightlife, which offers an array of enticing options. Dance the night away at popular beach clubs like Havana Beach Club or Robin Hood, where lively music and electrifying atmospheres keep the party going until dawn. For a more upscale experience, indulge in cocktails at Las Vegas Cafe & Bar and groove to top-notch DJs spinning eclectic tunes with a diverse crowd ready to party, making it a hotspot for unforgettable nights.

Enter The Mythical Depths

Experience the dim caves, a hidden treasure only 20 minutes away by car. Delve into this underground paradise and explore the twisting tunnels lined with stalactites and stalagmites, sculpted by nature's handiwork over millennia. As you take in the gorgeous scenery, feel the cool breeze and with every step you take, you're transported to a world where time stands still! To ensure comfort and safety in the caves, we recommend carrying sturdy shoes with good grip because sometimes the insides can get slippery.

Echoes Of The Past

Konakli, nestled in Turkey's picturesque landscape, offers an ideal gateway to explore the rich history of the region through its ancient sites.  Journey to the nearby ancient city of Side, where well-preserved ruins, including a majestic theatre and the iconic temple of Apollo, will transport you back in time. Alternatively, venture to the ancient city of Aspendos to behold its awe-inspiring Roman amphitheatre, a testament to the architectural prowess of antiquity. We recommend hiring an experienced local guide to get the most out of your trip. They can tell you about the historical and cultural importance of the historic sites you visit.
