We are in Alanya, a resort town on Turkey's central Mediterranean coast. Most tourists arrive from Antalya airport which is a 2-3 hours away.
Alanya offers a bit lower prices compared to Antalya - a variety of beaches, including the historically notable Cleopatra Beach. It is said that Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt, once swam here.
On this tour we explore mostly the center of Alanya. Overlooking the town is Alanya Castle, a fortification from the Seljuk era. Now functioning as an open-air museum, it's situated on a rocky area above the city.
A prominent feature of the city's skyline is the Red Tower. Dating back to 1226, this octagonal structure shows Alanya's historical involvement in Mediterranean trade.
Throughout the city, we'll encounter red tile-roofed Ottoman villas. These structures serve as physical reminders of the Ottoman Empire's influence on this region. Most of the city is modern nowadays with hotels and residential buildings everyhwere.
In summary, Alanya is a blend of natural features, historical sites, and architectural landmarks which we will see on this walking tour.
