Keys facts about Alanya
Sun, sand and culture
Alanya has not one but two Blue Flag-awarded beaches, both alive with water sports and sprinkled with sun loungers to take in the warm summer rays. Once you’re done on the beach, head up to the 13th-century fortress that watches over the town to get a glimpse into the area’s past.
Party until dawn
Alanya truly lights up at night – take a sunset cruise and you’ll see the seaside town turn into a glistening jewel all twinkling ahead of you. From harbourfront restaurants and bars to laser-shooting nightclubs, there’s plenty here to keep night-owls busy right up into the early hours.
