Alanya Castle

About

Alanya Castle is one of the most unique districts of Alanya and put under protection of Unesco's world heritage list. The peninsula divides the town into a Western and Eastern part and the castle itself dates back to the 13th century.
It is mainly a quiet area, with outstanding views of the turquoise Meditteranean sea and Taurus mountains.

Besides some mini markets and restaurants there arn’t many facilities in the area, you would need to travel to the centre of Alanya or to other districts of Alanya to acquire most of your daily needs.

Activities

Walking the old ruins of the ancient castle that are literally just outside your door is a must do.

After making it to the top you can jump into the cable car that will quickly take you down to the Cleopatra beach. You will also find a yoga school here.

Shopping

There are a few mini markets to accommodate your daily needs. You would need to travel down to the centre of Alanya to go grocery shopping etc.

Fortunately, the centre of Alanya is only a few minutes of travel away and has all the different stores you need to supply for yourself, meaning it's only a mild inconvenience.

Around and inside the castle itself you will find many souvenir stalls for tourists.

Public transportation

There is a bus(number 4)that goes to this area specifically, and it goes hourly until early evening (at time of writing).
