Alanya, like neighbouring Side, has become a holiday hotspot for sun-seekers and beach-bound holidaymakers. A beautiful peninsula in the south of Turkey that is sheltered by the Taurus Mountains, it is an oasis of long, sandy beaches and warm, turquoise waters.
The powdery sands of the resort stretch for an impressive 20km and are lined with a series of exclusive five-star retreats and hotels. It is a magnet for those looking to spend long, lazy days soaking up the sunshine and lounging in the warm shallows, while those looking for more activity can zoom across the water on jet-skis or banana boats or jump into the waters from the deck of a gullet on a boat trip.
The town, a blend of cosmopolitanism and authentic Turkey, is a mix of international and local restaurants, boutiques and market stalls. In the evening it is lively, buzzing with activity as holidaymakers linger until late over dinner, sip cocktails at bars over-looking the marina and party into the night.
A region with a rich ancient history, culture-enthusiasts won’t be disappointed. The town is overlooked by an ancient fortress found high in the hills above the harbour, and is home to a jumble of ruins that date back to the Hellenistic period. The museum in the centre of town is also well-worth a look, featuring an array of archaeological artefacts from across the ages.
