This stunningly pretty town has been a popular resort for seaside holidays on the Turkish Mediterranean Coast for well over 800 years. Situated at one end of a rocky headland, giving beautiful 360 degree views of the gulf of Antalya, in southern Turkey, only 150 km away from the city of Antalya, the breathtaking backdrop of this resort frames some of the best beaches in all of Turkey. Alanya holidays combine the perfect aspects of a package holiday resort providing stunning holidays for all. On Alanya holidays you will find the sea is warm and welcoming, the town has a varied and interesting history and the beaches are clean and stretch for miles. The scenery is lush, beautiful and well protected by the local authorities so that tourism does not negatively affect the town itself.
Last Minute Holidays in Alanya – Picturesque harbour and unspoilt atmosphere
You will find last minute holidays in Alanya are lively and interesting with an easy going nightlife, that caters for an upbeat crowd. This is not, however particularly suited to those looking for an all night party with drinking until dawn, as the bars are more relaxed here than in many top holiday spots like Marmaris or Bodrum. The southern part of the town is more tourist orientated and contains the majority of the hotels. The harbour is the main place to visit in the evenings here, with many restaurants, bars and sociable places to indulge and relax in on your holidays in Alanya. There is an array of accommodation available on Alanya holidays from large and luxurious hotels to small locally run apartments and bed and breakfasts for a more natural Turkish experience. There is something to suit everyone in this relatively small resort.
All Inclusive Cheap Holidays in Alanya – More than just beach holidays
Although this is very much a beach holiday destination, Alanya provides insight into the history and culture of Turkey as much as any other resort popular with package holidays. The Damlatas Caves are particularly interesting to visit, with stalagmites and stalactites that prove to be thousands of years old. Atop the hills at the back of the resort there is the impressive 14th century citadel which always wows those on their cheap all inclusive holidays in Alanya with quaint houses and frenzied markets. Backed also by the Taurus mountains and pine forests, a short drive out of the resort for those that are brave enough to hire a car is well rewarded with spectacular views of the bay and several charming villages where rural life carries on in the traditional Turkish style.
