Excursion Overview

At the specified time, our team will collect you from your hotel in Side and set off towards Alanya, recognized as one of the most sought-after coastal destinations along the Anatolian peninsula. Our journey will include a short stop at a banana plantation, where you will discover more about this local produce that thrives in the area.

Our first stop will be at Alanya Castle. Here, we’ll dedicate approximately 45 minutes to exploring this historical fortress, constructed in the 13th century as a defense mechanism for the city. Its strategic position provides breathtaking views of the beaches and the historic district of Alanya, offering a memorable experience.

Following our castle visit, we will make our way to Damlata? Cave, renowned for its remarkable stalactites and stalagmites. It is believed by many that this cave possesses the ability to alleviate asthma symptoms. Is this claim true? Let’s discover together!

After spending around 45 minutes exploring the cave's wonders, we will proceed to Cleopatra Beach, one of the most famous shorelines of the Turkish Riviera. Legend has it that the Egyptian queen enjoyed its clear waters. After soaking in the scenery, we’ll proceed to the port of Alanya for a delightful one-hour boat ride. During this cruise, you’ll see notable landmarks such as the Red Tower, the ruins of the Seljuk Castle from the 13th century, and various caves steeped in tales of pirates and local folklore.

Post boat excursion, we will return to our vehicle and transition to the Dim River, a picturesque spot ideal for relaxation. Here, you can enjoy a traditional Turkish meal at a floating restaurant, which includes grilled chicken or fish as well as vegetarian options. The cool currents and shaded environment make this a perfect escape, especially on warm days.

Rejuvenated from your meal, you'll have 1.5 hours of leisure time to explore Alanya at your own pace. We suggest visiting the Red Tower, browsing the local bazaar, or simply wandering the charming streets to savor the atmosphere.

As our day comes to a close, we will embark on our journey back to Side, concluding this 9-hour adventure with our farewell at your hotel.
