Alanya is overflowing with all manner of unique sights, from the ancient monolithic cave abutting Damlatas Beach, famed for it's humid atmosphere and microclimate, to the thirteenth-century Seljuk Castle. You can travel back in time here, with Ottoman Empire villas proliferating within the ancient city walls, and medieval heraldry inside the museum at the Red Tower.
A short walk from the golden beach takes you beyond recorded history to the Alanya Museum, with millennia of archaeological artefacts for you and your family to view. This is the great thing about a holiday in Alanya; there are things to keep everyone happy!
Alanya is secluded by the jaw-droppingly beautiful Taurus mountains, which remain snow-capped even in the most unremitting heat. 44 miles of heavenly coastline overlook the Mediterranean in all it's azure glory, so amble along the east side to Keykubat Beach to relax by the slowly-rising tide. Alternatively, traverse by the rocky peninsula that demarcates the city to Cleopatra and Damlatas Beaches, with their age-old caverns and surrounding greenery.
On a good clear day it is possible to see the northern coastline of nearby Cyprus from Alanya.
