2025 Alanya Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#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) #cave #travelinspiration #turkeytravel #trip

#timetotravel Cleopatra beach, located in Alanya and right next to the Alanya Castle, has a 2 km long beach and has fine and golden sand. Here is the most preferred beach in Alanya and there are many cafes, restaurants around it. Therefore, you can relax here and enjoy the sea without getting bored. Also, Alanya castle, damlatas cave and archeology museum are very close to here, I recommend you to go. #beachlife #alanya #travelinspiration #turkeytravel #goldensandbeach

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. If you the Art’s lovers this is gonna be your actual location to visit 😉 #wecreate #turkiye #antalya #alanya #Alaiye #sculptures #arts #Artstone

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. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #2023travelwish

#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

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 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! #historicplaces

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! #themepark

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! #historicplaces

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! #viewontop #turkey #themepark #beachlife #alanya #nationalpark #travelinspiration

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

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. #historicplaces

The hotel's exterior is enough to catch one's eye. Rows of floor-to-ceiling windows allow sunlight to flood the lobby, and the golden decor contrasts sharply with the blue of the ocean, resembling a meticulously crafted gem, awaiting the arrival of guests. The hotel staff's service left a deep impression on me. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, I was greeted with smiling faces. During check-in, they meticulously introduced the hotel's various facilities and services and offered local travel suggestions. During my stay, I felt the warmth and comfort of home. Every smile and every greeting made me feel that this was not just a hotel, but more like a home.

After a crazy but amazing period of working came to a close there was only one thing left to do TRAVEL! Apologies it’s a long one but as brief as possible! 1st stop to bask in the sun and some needed r&r was Perth. Relaxing and catching up with the fam ❤️ Next stop Cambodia 🇰🇭 Phnom Penh taking in the beautiful sites of Royal Palace and visiting many stunning sites including Silk Village and the Golden Temple. Siem Reap was the next stop visiting Angkor Wot Temple. The early start at 3am for sunrise at this spectacular wonder of the world was worth every second! Loved the floating village and seeing how communities live and look after each other. Next stop Vietnam 🇻🇳 Hanoi was as busy as every one said! Crossing the roads was daunting but a day later I was a pro 🤣 Train street, Halong bay, Ninh Binh, Bai Dinh Temple was definitely worth the visit. Next stop Da nang From monkey & marble mountains to seeing Lady Buddha in all her glory! Dragon bridge and the many markets are a must see in Vietnam. Of course had to visit the Golden Bridge and Bana hills. Last stop Hoi Chi Minh previously known as Saigon! Watching a bamboo show at the opera house and doing lots of sightseeing in this vibrant city. Of course getting inked at the famous Saigon ink was in the itinerary 🙈 Next stop Philippines 🇵🇭 I started in Manila in the Makati region exploring malls and a few landmarks. Off I went to Cebu for the next few days, here visiting Sirao flower gardens, Taoist Temple and the beautiful Temple of Leah and ending the day at the 10000 roses site made this trip memorable. Meeting some new friends was definitely a highlight too 🥰 Next stop is Palawan. Puerto Princesa and El Nido From longest underground river tours to island hopping to visiting some stunning lagoons each moment was a as picturesque as the next! As I returned back to Perth to recoup from living the dream and some well needed rest. Last stop before returning home had to be Malaysia 🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur you finished this trip perfectly. Batu Caves to the PETRONAS towers from temples to the most incredible malls. Loved central market and Petaling Street and Bukit Bintang. 47 hours flying time, 15 flights and 11 hotels later it’s time to go home for now 😉 As travelling was the main goal for 2024 I hope it continues for many years to come. Grateful as always and MAKING TODAY COUNT AS TOMORROW ISN’T PROMISED 🙏🏽
