Alanya, a historic resort town on Turkey’s southern Mediterranean coastline, has witnessed a large influx of British, Dutch and Scandinavian holiday-makers, many of whom prefer this quieter area over the more crowded seaside cities and resorts here on the Turkish Riviera, like Antalya and Izmir.

To reach Alanya, you will likely travel through Antalya first, as this is where the region’s main international airport is located, approximately 100km west of Alanya.

The town is known for its pristine beach, luxurious (but surprisingly affordable) accommodation options, a wealth of Western-style pubs and restaurants, watersport activities, traditional Turkish baths and a few interesting day-trip spots for those interested in the history of the area.
