The day tour to Alanya was fantastic, packed with fun activities. The cable car ride up to the castle offered amazing views of the sea and beach. There were a few cozy cafes and local vendors, making it a nice spot to explore. The pace was just right not rushed at all. We enjoyed lunch, got to visit the dripstone cave, had some free time in the city, and finished with a boat tour. Highly recommended!
