 LOCAL AREA INFORMATION:

ABOUT ALANYA:

Alanya is a beautiful and lively resort, bustling in the summer months with numerous restaurants, bars and shops.

Alanya Harbourside

Two long sandy beaches, a large harbour, vast caves and a huge headland with magnificent views from the Selcuk castle on the top are just some of the things that Alanya has to offer.

Friday is market day and the market is set close to the ‘dolmus’ station and one of the two large bazaars.  

From the harbour you can book a relaxing day out on a boat, which includes sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling a BBQ (with wine & beer incl’) either on the boat or on a secluded beach.


LOCAL AREA INFORMATION:

The region has many places of historic interest and scenic places
to visit.  

Alanya Castle is worth a leisurely exploration. With 150 towers and 7 km of walls snaking across the hillsides and down to the waters edge, it provided more than ample protection for the garrison and the civilians inside.

The military headquarters (inner castle) was built by Selcuk leader Alaeddin Keykubad in 1226 at the summit of the peak, offering breathtaking panoramic views from its battlements.

Pamukkale – (Turkish for Cotton Castle) - Since time immemorial, hot mineral springs high on the plateau have cascaded down the mountainside depositing and forming calcium basins known as travertines. You can bathe in these hot health giving waters in Cleopatra’s Pool

Manavgat - market boasts a thousand different stalls for you to test your bartering skills. You can walk away with the ‘genuine fakes’ for a fraction of the price you would pay back home. A cruise down the scenic river, free time on the beach and a barbecue lunch will make a perfect day out.

Perge - was one of the most popular cities in ancient Pamphylia originally settled in 1500BC it was founded on a wide plain to the NE of Antalya. Enter the city through the Hellenistic gates which are flanked by two lofty towers, this leads you to an impressive colonnaded way that was once lined with busy shops and colourful mosaics.

Inside the city walls you will see Roman Baths showing the ingenious underground heating system.

Aspendos – is the best preserved ancient amphitheatre in the civilised world, it is carved out of mountainside which probably accounts for its survival. 95% original it has survived earthquakes an all nature can through at it ! The acoustics are superb, it is said if you drop a coin in the stage area you can hear it whilst seated up in the ‘gods’ The site is still used in the summer months for concerts, whether for opera, ballet or orchestras.

All of the above excursions you can organise yourself with the numerous tour operators in Alanya centre - most trips include lunch or evening meal. However - I would recommend you compare prices as they do tend to vary, if there are a few of you don’t be afraid to haggle for ‘best price’
