💦Damlatas Cave in Alanya
#timetotravel
Damlatas cave is located just west of Alanya castle. It is the first cave opened to tourism in Turkey, and the summer and winter temperature is 22 degrees and does not change.
The atmosphere here is extraordinary. The stalactites formed by the drops of water created a very beautiful image.
There are souvenir shops and eating and drinking areas just outside the cave. The entrance fee of the cave is 30TL (~1 USD)

Multiple Sculptures Shower Alanya
Alanya formerly known as Alaiye, is a beach resort city, a municipality and district of Antalya.
The popular resort has both a contemporary and traditional feel to it and is located on the south west coast of Turkey. This means that anyone wanting to travel here can expect to find long stretches of golden sand and beautiful, turquoise waters. Tourism in the city developed in the late 1950s as many people came to Alanya to visit the Damlatas Caves, which are well known for their healing qualities. Alanya was once called Korakesion, which translates, to beautiful mountain, thanks to the rocky landscape and magnificent mountains that surround the area.
İf u in the town of Alanya you can see a lot’s of Stone Sculpture every where this is because every year Alanya town be selected as The International Alanya Stone Sculpture Symposium, which will be held for the 18th time this year by Alanya Municipality, started on the 1st of November.

Alanya, Turkey 🇹🇷
Alanya is a resort town on Turkey’s central Mediterranean coast (also known as the Turkish Riviera). Its wide beaches lined with hotels include Cleopatra Beach, where the Egyptian queen reputedly swam. Alanya Castle, a giant Seljuk-era fort turned open-air museum, stands on a rocky bluff above the beachfront, alongside red tile–roofed Ottoman villas and the octagonal Red Tower, a symbol of the city dating to 1226.

Escape to Alanya
#bucketlistreboot
Sometimes we find ourselves thinking of memories past. Whether it’s perhaps at the office, driving to our local grocery shop or even watching a movie on our sofa wearing our favourite slippers. When looking at what it may be a well established routine we sometimes need to evade this reality.
For us memories of Alanya, Türkiye and the wider resort area nearby, have always reminded us of joyful holidays, picture perfect moments and unmatched hospitality. Now that’s a place worth escaping into!
Alanya pronounced /əˈlɑːnjə/ is a coastal city in the south-eastern coast of Türkiye located in the Asian (Asia Minor) part of Turkey. It is located in the Antalya Province. According to the 2010 census it has a population of just under 99 000 residents.
#turkey #turkeytravel
Checkinaway (@checkinawayblog) It's a wonderful place. They made the walking path beautiful. You walk a long way. You walk because it is smooth. They built a cafe under a very big rock . It is a very beautiful and magical place. The source of the waterfall is a bit crowded, you wait a bit because everyone naturally wants to take pictures. In addition, they have put stairs in a few places on the walkway and you can enter that cold water. I would definitely say enter, it is magnificent in that heat. There is parking and it's free.
Damlatas Cave - Alanya, Turkey
Damlatas Cave is the most accessible cave in Alanya. It is located in the center of the city, near the sea coast and many other tourist attractions so it can be visited in one day with Kleopatra beach, Cable car and Kalesi fortress.
It is not the biggest cave I have ever visited, but if you never went to a cave then you should go see Damlatas Cave!
People who suffer from asthma come to this cave every year and take a 21-day treatment course because the air in the cave contains high percentage of carbondioxide, around 10 to 12 times more than in normal air, and has 95% humidity.
The cave open to visitors at 10am and close at 6pm. Tourists can purchase entrance tickets on the spot, or order tickets online. The entrance ticket costs less than 2$. The cave worth visiting!

Alanya Ataturk Park - Turkey
I absolutely love this park! There is a lot of palm trees, flowers and other beautiful plants. Visitors can also enjoy the fountains, benches in the shade of trees, swings, a playground for kids, sports equipment. You can either just walk along the cozy paths, or relax in the shade of trees or have a picnic.
The park is located close to Kleopatra beach, so visitors can go to the beach anytime. On the other side of the park there is a street with lots of cafes and restaurants where visitors can have a nice dish.
I also like this place because they have a “Cats home”. It was built by the Alanya municipality and it aims to help stray cats from Alanya. If you are a cat person like me, go visit this park!

Alanya Archaeological Museum - Turkey
If you are interested in history and would like to see the archaeological treasures from different periods and many etnographical facts about life in Alanya then you must visit this Archaeological Museum!
It is located in the old part of Alanya, close to other popular attractions which can be visited in one day (Damlatas cave, the famous Kleopatra beach and the lower cable car station, from where you can get to the famous Alanya fortress - Kalesi).
There is a nice garden in the museum where visitors can have a walk and enjoy the fountain with fish and see a gorgeous peacock. We got lucky to see a peacock walking in the garden!

Terrace (Seyir terası) - Alanya, Turkey
This observation deck offers a beautiful view of the whole Alanya - the sea, the bay, the harbor, the fortress, the red tower, the city itself. You can see the real size of Alanya from up there.
On the top is is developed as a green park by the Municipality of Alanya. There are benches where visitors can have a rest. The area is clean and convenient. It also has some small shops, cafés, and restaurants.
I definitely recommend to go there and see the whole Alanya. It is hard to not to fall in love with that city when you are there!

Suleymaniye mosque - Alanya, Turkey
Tourists who travel to Alanya must visit this beautiful mosque, created back in the 13th century and rebuilt during the Ottoman Empire. It is both an architectural monument of the past centuries and today's cultural heritage of Turkey. The Suleymaniye Mosque is not only a monument of medieval architecture, but also a functioning mosque.
The Suleymaniye Mosque in Alanya is located mear the main city attractions - the Alanya fortress - Kalesi.
If tourists want to enter the mosque they should put on special clothes, women should cover their heads with a scarf and take off the shoes. There is a box with clothes in front of the entrance to the mosque so tourists can use that clothes.
#historicplaces
Alanya’s fortress, Kalesi - Turkey
Beautiful location with breathtaking views. Kalesi is a definite must see if you are visiting Alanya!
Kalesi literally means “a castle”, a fortress in Turkish. It is located in the very center of the city and tourists no need to go far - the roads will lead to its walls during one of the walks around the city. Kalesi is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Alanya.
The castle on the mountain can be seen from Cleopatra Beach. I recommend to go to the observation desk to see breathtaking views from up. On the way back, it is interesting to walk around the mountain village, going down the road with spectacular views. There are also several panoramic restaurants and hotels on the mountain.

Charming Alanya: A Dreamland by the Mediterranean.
On the distant shores of the Mediterranean, there is a city as beautiful as a dream - Alanya. Like a dazzling pearl, it exudes a fascinating glow, attracting countless tourists to explore its charm.
When you first set foot on the land of Alanya, the clear sapphire-like sky and the endless blue sea will immediately come into your eyes. The sun is warm and bright, pouring on the sparkling sea, as if countless diamonds are shining. The soft sand is under your feet, warm and comfortable, which is the gentlest embrace given by nature. Walking along the coastline, the sea breeze gently brushed across the face, with a faint salty taste, making people feel particularly comfortable. In the distance, white sailboats slowly sailed across the sea, leaving beautiful ripples, as if drawing a moving picture.
The ancient castle of Alanya is a witness to history. It stands majestically on the hill by the sea, as if telling the glory and glory of the past. The ancient city wall has been baptized by the years, but it is still as strong as ever. Climbing to the top of the castle, the beautiful scenery of the entire Alanya is in sight. You can see the red-tiled white houses arranged in a row by the sea, and people are walking leisurely on the tree-lined streets. The distant sea and sky merge into one, giving people a sense of endless vastness and tranquility. Inside the castle, the narrow passages and ancient rooms seem to take you back to the past. You can imagine the soldiers guarding the city here, resisting the invasion of foreign enemies. Every stone bears the memory of history, which is moving.
The beach in Alanya is not only a beautiful scenery, but also a joyous ocean. Here, you can enjoy all kinds of water activities. Surfing enthusiasts gallop in the waves, showing their bravery and skills; divers dive into the sea, explore the mysterious underwater world, and have close contact with colorful fish and beautiful corals. If you like quietness, you can also lie on the beach, bask in the sun, read a good book, or just quietly appreciate the beauty of the sea. Children play on the beach, their laughter echoes in the air, adding a touch of vitality to this beautiful beach.
The food in Alanya is also a highlight. Fresh seafood is a feature here, and all kinds of delicious fish, shrimp, and shellfish are mouth-watering. In local restaurants, you can taste authentic Turkish cuisine. The fragrant barbecue, delicious desserts, rich and mellow coffee... Every dish is full of local characteristics and customs. Sitting next to the open-air dining table, while enjoying the food, while admiring the beautiful sea view, that is an unparalleled enjoyment.
The night in Alanya has a different style. On the brightly lit streets, people are enjoying the fun of nightlife. The bars and cafes are full of people, and the music and laughter are intertwined, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere. The night view by the sea is even more charming, the lights are reflected on the sea, sparkling, as if countless stars are shining. At this time, you can find a quiet corner to sit down and quietly feel the tranquility and beauty of the night.

Start here
Start your journey to the castle here at the Red Tower. Don't miss the boat yard and all the other stuff hidden behind the wall. If you follow any of the cobblestone paths up the hill, you will see all the hidden treasures most people miss. It's a beautiful walk.
