A Dramatic Castle And Imposing Tower Keep Watch Over A Beautiful Resort
Alanya holidays will take you to the Antalya region on the south west coast of Turkey. The two magnificent bays of Alanya are separated by a stunning promontory with the dramatic Alanya Castle keeping guard over the bay. The 15th century Red Tower stands tall while the fortress walls hide a citadel, and ruins of a church, mosque and chapel. With the backdrop of the Taurus Mountains, this truly is a beautiful resort.
The shallow and occasionally pebble beaches are lapped by the warm Mediterranean waters and are ideal for children, with the harbour brimming with local fishing boats, boat hire and a fascinating market. The numerous cafes and boutiques that line the narrow streets complement perfectly the modern apartments and hotels, and with a height limitation in place there are no unsightly high rise buildings to spoil the wonderful views on your holidays in Alanya. Follow some of the coastal paths that offer breathtaking sights or take a boat trip out from the harbour and observe the rugged headland, fascinating sea grottos and amazing rock formations of this beautiful coastline.
