The castle has an interesting history and the views are GREAT. Reminds me of Greece a bit. We took a bus ride up that stopped at the half way point to take pictures and at the top. There is a bathroom near where the buses park. Refreshments are sold in a small store and there are people selling hand made... More

Alanya was a port of call on our recent cruise of the Eastern Mediterranean. This is a beautiful place. I was very pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the town and its surrounds. Part of our visit here took us to the Alanya Castle on the cliff tops overlooking the city and the beautiful blue Mediterranean Sea. I am in... More

QViews were amazing but a lot of walking if mobility impaired the drive up was very scary best not to look out of the window. But we'll worth going for views alone .The journey down was just as scary!!

The inside of the castle is quite interesting. However I would recommand walking around the castle, up to the mosq. if you decide to go and visit the castle, stop for a meal by the old lady at the entrance. the "restaurant" doesn't look like much but you can enjoy a nice view over alanya, drinking tea in the shadow...

We joined fellow cruisers and booked a one hour quick taxi visit to the Castle. I say castle but the taxi driver showed us a picture of the ruins and advised us that it was not worth a visit. We did get to see a mosque up the top and also a typical Turkish house, and the views were amazing.

Whether you want to walk up the mountain to see Alanya Castle is your decision. I took the public bus which leaves just opposite the tourist office every quarter past. It was only 2 Lira. There's a great view from the castle. Ticket to the castle is 10 Lira. Walked down and enjoyed the small paths through the village on... More
