An unforgettable holiday in Alanya: 7 must-do activities
Finally the long-awaited vacation. This time it will take place in Alanya, Turkey. This is wonderful! The city is perfect for a pleasant and eventful vacation by the sea.
Relaxing on the sand and swimming in the sea waters will accompany you throughout the trip. To make your stay truly interesting and educational, below is a list of activities that you can try.
Activity 1. Visit a Turkish bath - hammam
The bathhouse with a unique oriental flavor is characterized by high humidity and the presence of marble loungers heated to 50 degrees. Here the sacrament of relaxation, ablution, and most importantly - foam and peeling massages take place. In general, the skin is prepared to take on a chic southern tan.
Activity 2. Take a stroll around old Alanya and the famous Byzantine fortress
The ancient fortress on a hilly peninsula, and in particular one of its towers, the Red Tower, is the hallmark of the city. The spirit of ancient legends hovers here. You must definitely climb the winding serpentine road to the very top of the hill, where the historical buildings are located.
From every new turn there will be a new, stunning and unforgettable view of the sea, the sprawling city and the mountains in the distance.
Here is an observation deck, which once was not an observation deck at all; from it the condemned were thrown into the sea. Adam Atajak, in a word. We must try to throw a stone from it into the sea. Each condemned person finally had such an opportunity to escape.
On the way back, when descending from the fortress, you should definitely stop by a small tavern and drink a cup of strong Turkish coffee.
One of the most memorable events of your holiday in Alanya can be a hike to this rocky hill at night, when the city is immersed in darkness, decorated with an incomparable golden scattering of lights. Photos from there will then decorate your computer desktop for a long time.
Activity 3. Take a cruise on a yacht in the waters of Alanya

Climbing onto a pleasure yacht stylized as a pirate sailboat, you feel like a freebooter. The yacht sets off. From the water you can truly appreciate all the beauty of the city, sometimes sandy, sometimes rocky, rugged with grottoes of the Alanian coast.
You can enjoy stunning views. You can swim to your heart's content in the open sea, sunbathe in the sun, or relax on the shady deck blown by the wind. Pleasant entertainment is complemented by learning about the history of the city.
Activity 4. Ride the Green Canyon in the national park
A trip to the Green Canyon near the Manavgat River will help you feel the power of natural harmony, capture it in your memory and in photographs.
Having climbed the serpentine road into the mountains, you find yourself at an observation deck. Here you can see a stunning panorama of a turquoise canyon stretching into the distance and mountain slopes covered with pine trees. You go down and take a boat ride through this silent splendor.
The coolness of a mountain gorge envelops your face, wooded slopes surround you from the sides, and at the top, clearly competing with the beauty of turquoise waters, the picture is completed by sky blue. An unforgettable sight!
Activity 5. Visit the Taurus Mountains with a Jeep Safari excursion
An excursion to the mountains with a Jeep Safari is extreme and beautiful at the same time.
This trip gives you the opportunity to take amazing photos. This is a view of the Alanya Peninsula stretching into the sea from a height of 300 meters, and a view of the mountains piercing the clouds and the ribbon of the Dimchay River sparkling at the foot from a height of 1200 meters.
A dashing ride up and down rough terrain, a quiet story in the mosque of the local village, lunch at a table immersed in the waters of a mountain river - you will have so many impressions!
Activity 6. Spend a night at the Auditorium club
Relax at a Turkish resort and not spend at least one night in a noisy nightclub? This is simply unthinkable. Of course, there are a lot of all kinds of discos and nightclubs in Alanya. But the Auditorium Club is special.
There are three different open-air dance floors here. High-quality dance music is represented very widely. Various shows and themed parties are held. All conditions have been created for those who like to dance.
There is even a swimming pool on the territory of the club, where the public, inflamed by drinks and dancing, strives to drink right in their clothes. In general, you have the opportunity to leave there in the morning completely tired and completely damp.
Activity 7. Spend a day at the Sealanya Seapark water park
If you haven’t seen a dolphin and seal show yet, you can do it at the Sealanya water park. Dolphins and seals jump, play, splash, even sing and always delight the public.
Here you can swim in salty pools with real sea fish and stingrays, and take a safe dive with sharks. In the pool with an imitation of a sunken ancient city, dive to your heart's content and explore ancient ruins.
