Outside Area:Alanya is one of the most famous seaside resorts on the Turkish Riviera. This bustling town with an intense nightlife is known for its beautiful beaches, castle and charming location among citrus orchards. Alanya lies on an impressive cliff between two beaches (Cleopatra Beach and East Beach). High up on the cliff towers the 13th-century castle of the Seljuks, which is one of the most beautiful sights on the Mediterranean. The castle is relatively well preserved and has 150 kilometers of walls and towers. Along with the imposing fortress you will find remarkable shipyards and the Kizil Rule (Red Tower, an octagonal 33 meter high tower that served as the cornerstone of the fortress, built between 1225-1227). The town now has about 35,000 inhabitants. It is a beautiful resort with numerous restaurants, hotels and cafes situated along the beach. In the center there are plenty of 'Turkish' shops where you can purchase souvenirs, leather goods, jewelry, handbags and painted gourds, a symbol of the region. Dimcayi is a river near Alanya. Here you can picnic in one of the tree houses of the many restaurants that line the river, or simply go for a swim. In the hot months this is a great place for refreshment. Near the Dimcayi you can visit a beautiful cave with stalactites and stalagmites. You can also take an excursion down the river with a stop for lunch. Most cruises sail to the peninsula of Alanya, along the old shipyard, past the old pirate and phosphorus caves and then down the coast towards the town of Incekum. Relax and sunbathe on board with the occasional swim in the sea. Are you lucky? Then you will definitely see dolphins! The Dimcayi River, which arises in the Taurus Mountains and 60 km later empties into the Mediterranean Sea, is situated just six km.
