Whether you’re on a short stay or simply want to see all the highlights, this 3-hour tour covers everything you need to know about Alanya, from its rich history to breathtaking landscapes. As the sun begins to set over the city, sit back and enjoy the stunning views of Alanya Castle, Cleopatra Beach, Damlatas Cave, and even a thrilling cable car ride.
Your adventure begins as our jeep driver picks you up directly from your hotel. We travel in style with open-top jeeps, offering you a higher vantage point and a cool breeze as we drive through the city streets, taking in the sights and sounds of Alanya.
Our first stop is the impressive Alanya Castle, perched on a rocky hilltop, offering panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. As we arrive, we’ll pause to watch the sun set over the ancient town — a photographer’s dream. The castle itself, dating back to the 13th century, was built on the remnants of Byzantine and Roman forts and offers a fascinating insight into the city’s past. With the Mediterranean surrounding it on three sides, it’s easy to see why this location was chosen for a fortress.
Next, we’ll make our way to Cleopatra Beach, a stunning stretch of golden sand where the legendary Cleopatra is said to have bathed. As you stand on the beach, with the turquoise waters gently lapping the shore, you’ll understand why this beach was considered a royal haven. Take some time to relax, enjoy the views, or even dip your toes into the cool, clear waters.
Continuing our journey, we’ll head to the fascinating Damlatas Cave. Known for its stunning stalactites and stalagmites, this cave has been naturally formed over 15,000 years, making it a unique and captivating spot. The cave is not only a natural wonder but is also believed to have therapeutic properties, particularly for asthma sufferers, thanks to its high humidity and constant temperature. Your guide will share interesting facts about the cave’s formation and the myths surrounding it.
To wrap up your tour, we’ll take a scenic cable car ride above the city, providing you with a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of Alanya. The 900-meter-long ride takes you high above the city, giving you an incredible vista of the town, the Mediterranean coastline, and the surrounding mountains. Bathed in the warm light of the setting sun, it’s the perfect way to end a memorable day of sightseeing.
