Why Choose Alanya for Your Antalya Holiday?
Alanya is a vibrant resort city at the eastern edge of the Antalya province, 125 kilometers from Antalya Airport. Known for its long sandy beaches, warm Mediterranean waters, and the dramatic hilltop castle that overlooks the town, Alanya offers a more affordable luxury experience compared to Belek and Lara while still delivering five-star all-inclusive resort quality. The town\'s most famous beach, Cleopatra Beach, is said to have been a gift from Mark Antony to the Egyptian queen, and its fine sand and clear water live up to the legend.
Alanya\'s old town sits beneath a 13th-century Seljuk castle, with the iconic Red Tower (Kızılkule) and the shipyard (Tersane) standing as monuments to the region\'s medieval maritime history. The Damlatas Cave, discovered in 1948, offers cool, humid air believed to benefit respiratory conditions. The Dim River, a short drive from the city center, provides a refreshing escape from the summer heat with riverside restaurants where you can dine with your feet in the cool water. A private VIP transfer from Antalya Airport to Alanya takes approximately 90 minutes.
