Alanya is a popular resort that sits at one end of a rocky promontory, jutting into the Mediterranean between two long sandy beaches. A 13th century fortress crowns the headland with 150 towers dotted across the skyline. Alanya has numerous fish restaurants, cafes and bars, and the cafes that ring the harbor are particularly popular with tourists. The coast road to the harbour is lined with plenty of boutiques selling handicrafts, leather, clothes, jewelry and handbags.
