What are the must-see sights of Alanya?

Historical places, ancient fortresses, observation decks from which you can endlessly admire the mountain landscapes: you will find all this here. The purest mountain air perfectly complements the impressions that this resort generously bestows upon us! We bring to your attention the TOP attractions of Alanya.

Red Tower (Kyzyl Kule)

This building is called the main symbol of Alanya and quite rightly. Octagonal, stunning in size, this tower was erected to protect against robbers from the sea and coped with this task perfectly, and now delights the eyes of tourists. On the first (lower) levels of the building you will find a museum, and the upper ones are now used as an observation deck.

Old Alanya

If you go on vacation to get aesthetic pleasure, then be sure to set aside a few hours for a walk around the Old Town; you definitely won’t regret this decision! If walking is not enough, you can rent a hotel room in the Old Town and admire it every day. Magnificent architecture and views of blooming gardens and the turquoise sea will definitely not leave you indifferent. And the ancient buildings made of natural stone, stairs and pavements will not allow tourists to pass by photos. Old Alanya is dotted with a whole scattering of observation platforms and picturesque ones.

Funicular for sightseeing Alanya from the air

It is more interesting, easier and faster to admire the city from a bird's eye view, and a leisurely, comfortable cable car cabin seems to be the ideal solution in this situation. Of course, you can climb the mountain as a pedestrian, but such a walk will not provide the same entertainment as a ride in a cabin, and not everyone likes such physical activity.

Ancient Byzantine fortress on the mountain: another stunning attraction of Turkish Alanya

The highest point in the city and the most impressive viewpoint available. The view that opens up to a tourist who is here is memorable for a lifetime and makes you admire furiously. The fortress is surrounded by its walls with a cozy park, ideal for relaxation, where you can have a snack and relax if you are tired. You can get to the mountain by bus, but you must go down on foot. No, there are options not to get off, but to move out, but if you use them, the time left to enjoy the local beauties is unaffordably small.
