Last minute holidays to Alanya

Book a last minute holiday to Alanya with Thomas Cook and you could soon be exploring this beautiful medieval town and basking in the warm Turkish sunshine.

Alanya sits on the Turkish Riviera nestled between the impressive Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. The enigmatic Alanya Castle overlooks the town from a strategically important peninsula, and it's the perfect place to start your sightseeing. Stroll over to the Red Tower, and imagine you're on the lookout for hostile boats from this centuries-old watch tower.

If you want to sit back and relax on the beach then you have two lovely Blue Flag ones to choose from, which are separated by the peninsula. Gaze up at the castle from Cleopatra Beach, or go snorkelling at Eastern Beach and keep an eye out for octopus. After a day lounging around in the sun you should have plenty of energy left to go out and enjoy Alanya's famous nightlife, so head to the harbour area and order some drinks.Visit the Damlatas Cave or hire a car and see ancient Roman ruins at Side such as the amphitheatre and Temple of Apollo with our last minute holidays to Alanya.
