It’s a really interesting tour coz I never been to Alanya. We saw all the main sites, the coastline is just wonderful. During our free time we walked around and saw some nice shops. We even had few drinks and the locals are very nice. We made nice memories together as a family and definitely recommend this trip to all.
Nice trip if you want to explore a nearby town! We had a boat trip and witnessed how beautiful the Turkish Riviera is. you get also some hours of free time in alanya.
