Alanya - Turkey. Turkish Connextions.

What is Alanya in Turkey like?

The city of Alanya, is on Turkey’s southwest coast and is situated in the Antalya province of southern Turkey, it’s about 133km east of the city of Antalya. A cosmopolitan mix of bustling bars along the riverfront, along with the harbour and castle of Alanya. A soaring peninsula divides the area’s two Blue Flag beaches. The more well-known of the two is Cleopatra Beach, which is located on the western side. A stunning view of the castle may be seen from this 2 km stretch of sand.

The water’s edge on the Eastern Beach is a little bit rockier. The beachside bars are a nice spot to have a drink in the evening before the many nightclubs around the harbour get busy around 11 o’clock; the nightlife is legendary in Alanya and attracts a younger crowd.

What is the town of Alanya in Turkey like?

The majority of the bustling pubs and restaurants in Alanya’s town centre, which is centred on the historic harbour, are open all year round. Numerous five-star hotels can be found in the city, and innumerable stores will lure you with jewellery, arts and crafts plus leather goods.

A trip to the Archaeology and Ethnography Museum is a must for history buffs. For a more leisurely day, go on a boat tour or simply unwind on one of the Blue Flag beaches.

Visit the famous Alanya Castle, learn about its history, and take in the breathtaking 360-degree views. Take a journey down to the harbour after visiting the castle to explore the Red Tower, which was constructed in 1226 to defend the castle.
