Overview

If you’re looking to make the most of your time in the beautiful city of Alanya, our fantastic City Tour is the perfect way to explore the best of the area in just a few hours. Whether you’re on a short stay or simply want to see all the highlights, this 3-hour tour covers everything you need to know about Alanya, from its rich history to breathtaking landscapes. As the sun begins to set over the city, sit back and enjoy the stunning views of Alanya Castle, Cleopatra Beach, Damlatas Cave, and even a thrilling cable car ride.

Your adventure begins as our jeep driver picks you up directly from your hotel. We travel in style with open-top jeeps, offering you a higher vantage point and a cool breeze as we drive through the city streets, taking in the sights and sounds of Alanya.

Our first stop is the impressive Alanya Castle, perched on a rocky hilltop, offering panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea. As we arrive, we’ll pause to watch the sun set over the ancient town — a photographer’s dream. The castle itself, dating back to the 13th century, was built on the remnants of Byzantine and Roman forts and offers a fascinating insight into the city’s past. With the Mediterranean surrounding it on three sides, it’s easy to see why this location was chosen for a fortress.

Next, we’ll make our way to Cleopatra Beach, a stunning stretch of golden sand where the legendary Cleopatra is said to have bathed. As you stand on the beach, with the turquoise waters gently lapping the shore, you’ll understand why this beach was considered a royal haven. Take some time to relax, enjoy the views, or even dip your toes into the cool, clear waters.

Continuing our journey, we’ll head to the fascinating Damlatas Cave. Known for its stunning stalactites and stalagmites, this cave has been naturally formed over 15,000 years, making it a unique and captivating spot. The cave is not only a natural wonder but is also believed to have therapeutic properties, particularly for asthma sufferers, thanks to its high humidity and constant temperature. Your guide will share interesting facts about the cave’s formation and the myths surrounding it.

To wrap up your tour, we’ll take a scenic cable car ride above the city, providing you with a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of Alanya. The 900-meter-long ride takes you high above the city, giving you an incredible vista of the town, the Mediterranean coastline, and the surrounding mountains. Bathed in the warm light of the setting sun, it’s the perfect way to end a memorable day of sightseeing.

The jeep ride was a big hit with our boys — they loved the open top and waving at people on the streets. The castle views were beautiful, especially with the sun setting, but the stops did feel a bit rushed. Cleopatra Beach was nice to see but didn’t have much time to enjoy. The cave was fascinating for us adults, though the kids got restless. The cable car ride at the end was a perfect finale. A few tweaks in timing and it would’ve been spot on.

I booked this to get a quick overview of Alanya, and while the route covered great spots, it felt a little like a race from one place to another. The jeep was fun at first, but the seating was cramped after a while. The castle and beach were worth seeing, but I wish the guide had given more in-depth explanations. Good if you want a whistle-stop tour, but not for those who like to linger.

This tour really packs a lot into three hours. The open-top jeep gave us a fresh breeze and a great view of the streets as we passed through. The castle at sunset was stunning — you could almost imagine what life was like there centuries ago. Cleopatra Beach was peaceful in the evening light, and the cave had a mysterious charm. Ending with the cable car as the sky turned pink was just magical.

We did this tour as a group of friends, and it was a fun way to see the main sights without spending the whole day. The jeep ride was lively and gave us a good laugh. The castle had amazing views, though it got a bit crowded near sunset. The beach and cave were both worth visiting. The cable car ride was short but offered fantastic photo opportunities.

Perfect way to introduce the city to first-timers. The guide kept the pace moving but still made time for interesting facts. My teenage son was particularly fascinated by the history of the castle. The cave was cooler than I expected, and the beach looked like a postcard. We loved the feeling of gliding over the city in the cable car.

Not bad, but also not amazing. The locations themselves are beautiful, but the timing felt very strict. At some points I barely had time to look around before we were back in the jeep. The guide was friendly, but I felt the focus was more on moving along than on explaining the history. The cable car ride was my highlight.

We wanted something quick and scenic, and this was perfect. The jeep ride was a blast, especially when we drove up to the castle. The view at sunset is worth the trip alone. The cave was interesting, though small, and the beach was nice to walk along for a few minutes. Cable car ride was a great finish.

I think this tour works better if you just want to tick off the main spots. The castle was lovely, but it was too crowded to fully enjoy. The beach and cave stops were very short. The cable car ride was great, but I left feeling like I’d only had a glimpse of each place.

It’s a nice way to see the city if you’re short on time, but don’t expect long stops. The jeep ride was fun at first but got a bit uncomfortable. The castle was beautiful, the beach just okay, and the cave was a quick in-and-out.
