What to see with a rental car
Alanya sits on a rocky peninsula crowned by a Seljuk castle, with long beaches on both sides. The town stretches for kilometres along the D400, so a car saves taxi fares between your hotel, the old harbour and the beaches.
Inland, the Taurus Mountains rise steeply behind the coast. Within half an hour you can be at Dim Cave and the restaurants along the Dim River, or on the mountain roads towards Sapadere Canyon.
- Alanya Castle and the Red Tower above the harbour
- Damlataş Cave and Cleopatra Beach in town
- Dim Cave and lunch by the Dim River
- Sapadere Canyon in the Taurus Mountains
- Manavgat Waterfall and Side on the way west
