Alanya Holidays
Alanya is located on the gorgeous Mediterranean coast in the Antalya Region of south-western Turkey, overlooking the deep blue sea this unspoilt town is backed by the magnificent pine forested Taurus Mountains. Alanya is distinguished for its historical and cultural tourist attractions, as well as several of the finest beaches in Turkey including the spectacular sandy Cleopatra beach which lies to the west of the resort and the fine sands of Alanya beach which lies to the east.
There are many narrow alleyways to discover with old houses, historic mosques, multicoloured boutiques, gift shops and jewellery stalls, as well as the many beautiful fish restaurants, cafes and bars, which can also be found at the harbour where much of Alanya’s tranquil and laid-back nightlife is centred.
Towering above Alanya, is the inspiring 14th century Castle, which was built on the Rocky Hill of Alanya Peninsula, from where fantastic views of the city and beaches can be enjoyed. Inside the castle's walls there are mosques, charming houses as well as a Byzantine church ornamented with frescoes. Another important building is the Red Tower (Kizil Kule), it is an octagonal structure built in 1226 from red stones which is illuminated at night and also offers fascinating views.
