Things to do on holiday in Alanya, Turkey

Alanya apartments and villas are in such high demand primarily due to the landscape. Alanya Beach is a glorious stretch of golden sand, where you can happily relax for a whole day, soaking up the sun and taking in the magnificent views of the pine tree covered Taurus Mountains which surrounds the Gulf on all sides. The Gulf of Alanya is a fantastic place to swim, sail or go scuba diving, and there are plenty of diving and water sports centres around the seafront.

There are some wonderful sites of interest in and around Alanya. The 13th century walls of the Seljuk Castle of Alanya are the most obvious attraction on the town’s skyline, but the imposing octagonal Red Tower (Kizik Kule), the mystical ruins of Seljuk village and the local Damlatas Caves are certainly worth a few hours of your time when staying in self catering accommodation in Alanya. The Damlatas Caves, just a little way from an Alanya apartment, are an eerie place to explore, and there are some brilliant boat trips out to three sea caves which used to be the haunts of Mediterranean pirates.

If you are looking for entertainment and excitement during the evenings from an Alanya villa, you are in luck. If you leave your Alanya property rental and head for the harbour, you will quickly find the finest restaurants, most lively bars and best clubs nestling in amongst the side streets of the area.
