Alanya is one of the most important touristic centers of the Turkish Mediterranean Riviera, near Antalya. This wonderful county, soon to become a city itself, is the most important touristic center of the Mediterranean region.

Alanya consists of two parts as Eski (the Old, Historic) and Yeni (the New) Alanya.

Eski Alanya was founded on the top and at the skirts of the high peninsula that divides the beautiful bay. The old fortress overlooking the town on both sides is the most attractive spot. The castle walls that stretches for 6,5 kilometers to the Inner Castle on the hill was initially built during the Hellenistic period, but raised further, fortified and furnished with 110 towers during the Seljukid period.

As for Yeni Alanya , it extends towards both the east and west of the peninsula. The beach beginning in Antalya direction continues through Gazipaşa direction.

Tremendously developed particularly during the last decade; hotels, pensions and private residences are lined side by side on the main road parallel to the beach and connected with transverse streets and avenues to the main road.
