Alanya North

About

Alanya North is the zone between town and countryside.

The southern part of Alanya North is still relatively close to the town centre, whilst the northern part is a little away from the town.

From the area there are exceptional views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Taurus mountains.

Activities

Here you will find excellent opportunities for hiking in the mountains and pine tree forests. The area is also great for biking, although some of the hills are quite steep.

There are also several picnic areas and viewpoints here with the new “Alanya Devlet Bahceli” park being the biggest and most popular.

Shopping

This northern part of Alanya does have grocery shops and other daily facilities needed.

Just remember that the further you get up on the hillside, the less shops are available.

Public transportation

A few buses do go to the north quite frequently, although for personal convenience it's easier to either use taxis, or your own vehicle to move about.

If you are on a budget, you can walk, or use a bike etc or go on the free pick up services offered by many restaurants and beach clubs.

Food & dining

From the lower parts of Alanya north you will have plenty of restaurants, cafes and bakeries to choose from.

Most of these are found around the D-400 main road which also marks the beginning of Alanya north.

Higher up the mountain side only a few options are available.

Nearby

The northern part of Alanya is still close to the sea, and centre of Alanya,meaning you have easy access to many activities.
