Ataturk House Museum

Ataturk House Museum is a charming two-storey building that preserves the memory of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s visit to Alanya in 1935.

Inside, visitors can see authentic period furniture, personal belongings, photographs, and documents reflecting daily life in the early Republican era. The museum provides a glimpse into Atatürk’s connection with Alanya and offers insight into how life looked in Turkey nearly a century ago.
