Alanya: has approx. 65.000 inhabitants and belongs to the province Antalya. Alanya has the oldest tradition of tourism in the southern mediterranean coast.It is historically recorded that the beautiful Alanya was given to Cleopatra by Emperor Antonius, as a wedding gift in the 4. Century B.C. The landscape is very charming, as it was once a fishing village but has now evolved into a hub for tourism in the province of Antalya. Many ancient artifacts have disappeared from the landscape since the rise of hotels and the heavy influx of visitors.Today Alanya looks like the touristic centers of Spain or Italy. Most hotels are separated from the beach by a very busy main road. A stroll is recommended through the old heart of the city and to the castle.Boat trips are also recommended through the limestone caves, to see the underwater rock formations, and to bathe in'Cleopatra's"Bathtub. When last did you climb into a 'royal bathtub"? Ideally suitable for single travellers and families without children. A very lively bathing resort, with many sandy beaches.

Alarahan: Old caravan site, near Alanya, and has been newly restored for shows from the 1001 nights.

Amorous on vacation: This is intended for single-women who are targeted by young Turkish men as soon as they arrive in Antalya. Approx. 95 % of these men are 'Gigolos", who are only after presents and money. Many of them also try to get a visa, through marriage, to come to Europe. But you are to exercise caution dear ladies and you hold on to your money. Do not fall prey to the empty protestations of love by these men. Many European women have lost all their money and property through their blindness. Remember as soon as you leave, he has another potential girlfriend coming in on the very next plane.That's business!

Andriake: Natural port at Kekova. Starting point for boat trips through the beautiful and unforgettable sunken city of Kekova.

Animals: One can observe many types of animal species in the region of Antalya. Turtles cover extensive routes in order to come onto the beach in Alanya or Cirali to lay their eggs in the sandy beaches. You can see water turtles known as "caretta-caretta", storks, game pig, ibexes, squirrels, snakes and scorpions. In some parts there are also also bears and about 100 different kinds of birds.Be very careful in the mountains: you should wear sturdy footwear and tuck your trousers in your shoes.There is to be found in the bay of Antalya a dolphin school during May to September.Entire schools of these superb creatures romp in the water. It's a fabulous experience to observe these intelligent sea mammals during your tour of the open sea.

Animal protection: Sometimes in the spring and summer you can frequently see turtles attempting to cross the street. In the interest of preserving their life and avoiding their becoming extinct, please stop immediately and help the animal across, steering them into the direction they are already proceeding. Too many of them are run over and killed by cars.
