Clean Cruising

Cruises visiting Alanya & all Alanya cruises for 2013 - 2014

Alanya, 115 km east of Antalya, is a seaside resort in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. In the summer tourist season, it is inundated with visitors due to its mild climate, long stretches of sandy beaches, the warm Mediterranean waters, and the port's accessibility to historic sites and fine cuisine.

Visit these landmarks – the vast Seljuk Turkish fortress that overlooks the town from a promontory, Kizil Kule with its the tall octagonal Red Tower, Alanya Castle, Tersane, the ship-yard, the Damlatas Cave, which is said to benefit asthma sufferers, and the beaches, which are the biggest attraction, with tourist activities that include wind surfing, parasailing and banana boating.

If interested in archaeology, then be sure to visit the Alanya Museum, while many national celebrations are centred at Mustafa Kemal Ataturk monument. Attractions also include Sealanya (Europe's largest water park), and Turkey's largest go-kart track. If you are looking for a more relaxed visit, then you will thoroughly appreciate a relaxed half-hour drive to the pine-forested Taurus Mountains, for its spectacular views as well as the atmosphere of small rural villages where life continues much as it always has. It's your choice.
