Alanya Castle
Alanya, which looks like a huge fair city, experiences a completely different atmosphere at sunset. Those who come to Alanya Castle in the bazaar or in front of Damlataş cave in the evening for calm, pleasant and cool trips see the Byzantine church, cisterns, castle bastions and walk on the castle walls. They are trying to raise stones to the sea from the “Man Throw Tower”, which is 250 meters above sea level, and watch the sunset. In the castle, where restoration works continue, the entrance gate of the castle is among the places that will be opened to visitors soon, which has been restored this year. Babies made of gourd, calabash rabbits, lampshades, various textiles, handcrafted embroidery and jewelry, which are made into sympathetic souvenirs from each other on the ascent and descent of the castle, attract attention. One of the places to visit in the center of Alanya is Damlataş cave, where many colorful stalactites and stalagmites are decorated.
The restaurant, car park, and beach section, whose surroundings have been reconstructed, attracts attention as another of the famous cave visiting places. The five-eyed Shipyard, the Alanya Museum where artifacts belonging to the Byzantine, Roman and Hellenistic civilizations are exhibited, the Atatürk Museum House, and the Kuyularönü Mosque in the center, which draws attention with its interior and exterior modern architecture, stand out as other sightseeing and visiting places. Sliding from water slides, passing through water tunnels and taking a ride on rafting boats of Damlataş Agua Center, which is located in the center of the district and is one of the water parks, are considered to be popular places for young people. With the new works of Alanya Municipality, it has been brought into use by the public and has a swimming pool decorated with palm trees, cacti and flowers, a water pool with a fountain, resting in the parks, walking, playing tennis on the courts is very enjoyable. Shopping is considered another pleasure in Alanya, where a market is set on Friday.
