Explore Alanya
Lively Alanya lies on a delightful stretch of coast and is sheltered by densely wooded, purple-tinged hills. Two sweeping, sandy bays curve round the headland, where a giant peninsula juts out dramatically into the sea. From the lower town a road winds round the harbour, with its boat yards and medieval octagonal Red Tower, and leads up to the old well-preserved double-walled Selçuk fortress that keeps watch over Alanya.
