Alanya

Perched between the turquoise Mediterranean and the towering Taurus Mountains, Alanya is the Turkish Riviera’s most dramatic and picturesque resort, where the iconic Alanya Castle—a massive 13th-century Seljuk fortress—crowns a rocky peninsula with sweeping views over the city, endless beaches, and the glittering sea from its 6.5 km of ramparts, while the long golden stretch of Kleopatra Beach (legend says Cleopatra herself bathed here) offers soft sand, clear waters, and the perfect sunset backdrop. Stroll the lively harbor promenade lined with yacht restaurants, fresh seafood tavernas, and the famous red tower (Kızıl Kule), explore the atmospheric old bazaar for handmade carpets and Turkish delight, or take a short boat trip to the dazzling Damlatas Cave with its healing humid air and stunning stalactites—all in a welcoming city that perfectly balances ancient history, world-class beaches, and the warm, generous hospitality of the Mediterranean coast.

Savor fresh grilled sea bass with lemon, spicy Adana kebabs, sweet baklava dripping with pistachios, and chilled Efes beer amid castle views, sea breezes, and the unmistakable rhythm of a place where mountains meet the sea in perfect harmony.

Alanya isn’t just a destination—it’s the Turkish Riviera’s most dramatic fusion of beaches, history, and effortless coastal joy—plan your Alanya escape today!
