Nice view and place to take some panoramic photos. 10 min drive to get up there if you have a rental.

We didn't have much time in the castle as we visited as part of a day excursion to Alanya from Side but wow. The views are absolutely stunning from the castle and a visit is a must if you are in Alanya.

Alanya Kalesi is a wonderful place, regardless of the time of day.

There is a bathroom near where the buses park. Refreshments are sold in a small store and there are people selling hand made... More
