Alanya Essentials

Alanya’s landscape is dominated by a medieval Seljuk fortress perched on a rocky peninsula, surrounded by 13th-century walls and the iconic octagonal Red Tower. The city’s maritime history is preserved in the stone-vaulted Old Shipyard, while the natural world is showcased in the stalactite-filled Damlataş Cave and the fine sands of Cleopatra Beach. This selection covers the city's essential landmarks, from high-altitude viewing terraces and cable car ascents to the historic house where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk once stayed.

Alanya Castle & Ruins

This collection highlights the architectural legacy of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum and the Byzantine Empire on Alanya’s rocky peninsula. The 13th-century Alanya Castle features 6.5 kilometers of defensive walls and 140 bastions, enclosing the inner citadel and the octagonal Red Tower at the harbor. Within the fortifications, find the Ehmedek middle castle and Byzantine-era ruins, including the 11th-century church in the inner citadel and the Arap Evliyası chapel, reflecting the city’s multi-layered maritime history.
