Alanya · The Area

Things to do

The town sits between the castle and the sea, and most things are a walk away. Here are the places we go back to ourselves — from the morning swim before the town wakes to dinner by the harbour.

Day trip

Alanya Castle

The castle sits above the town, reached by a narrow road that winds its way up. At the top are the old walls, a small café, and views along the whole coastline.

Food & drink

The fish restaurants by the harbour

The boats come in with the day's catch, and the restaurants along the harbour grill it the same evening. Sit outside and let the waiter recommend.

10 min on foot · evenings

Swimming

A morning swim before the town wakes

The beach is almost empty before nine. The water is already warm, and the sun loungers are set out long before the rest of the town comes down.

5 min on foot · all season

Town life

The streets of the old town

Narrow cobbled streets below the castle, with craftsmen and small cafés in the shade. Walk without a plan — most streets end up down by the harbour anyway.
