Alanya is one of Turkey's most visually dramatic resorts. A massive Seljuk castle perches 250m above the sea on a rocky promontory, while below it the legendary Red Tower guards the ancient harbour and Cleopatra Beach stretches along one side.
The famous Cleopatra Beach – where the Egyptian queen allegedly swam – has uniquely soft white sand quite unlike anything else in Turkey. The clear turquoise water and gentle Mediterranean conditions make it perfect for families.
Alanya is also an excellent value destination. World-class all-inclusive resorts, excellent food, vibrant nightlife and superb infrastructure make it one of Turkey's most visited and best-loved holiday towns.
