Itinerary
We start our tour by picking up all our guests from their hotels.
Also known as the cave of the dripping stones due to it’s interesting stalactite and stalagmite formations, this is a must for all nature lovers. Your guide will be able to point out interesting formations and things to look out for as well as explain to you how the cave was formed. There’s a fascinating story of how the cave is believed to be able to cure asthma in anyone that comes inside it. You will regularly see asthma sufferers visiting the cave for 4 hours a day for 3 weeks to try and cure their ailment.
One of Turkey’s most famous beaches is Cleopatra’s beach here in Alanya. We’ll take a drive down from the castle and let the sea air flow around us. Over 2 million people visit this beach annually and it’s easy to see why. If it’s good enough for Cleopatra, it’s good enough for us. Don’t forget, your guide will be on hand to point out all the important sights and show you the best places to take photos from.
Dating as far back as the 13th century this castle actually stopped being a form of defence in the 19th century when numerous villas and private residences were constructed in the walls. Surrounded on 3 sides by the blue waters of the Med, the castle is a simply stunning place to visit and you will have plenty of time to explore and take photos.
Our jeeps will be waiting for you at the end of the cable car ride to take you back to your hotel in Alanya.
To round off an evening of culture, history and nature we take it all in from up high. The Alanya cable car is a fantastic way to end this tour as we fly peacefully over the ancient city. The cable stretches from the castle to Cleopatra’s beach and is about 900 metres long. As the sun sets and the city is bathed in the warm glow of the early evening this is a perfect way to round off your tour.
We are ending our tour with a 20-minute photo break at the top of the panorama.
We drop all our guests back to the points we picked up after the tour.

Traveler reviews
Normal
The place- lovely! But they could improve organization. The guide finally left without us and we've been looking for him all over the park like crazy. There is very limited walking time at the end, guide could be an hour more at least (pq at the end everything turns on hotel transfer and gives you no time for anything)

Cable car
Very enjoyable evening, lovely cable car ride with fantastic views. Cave was amazing, castle a long hot walk but worth it. Sadly lost points for not being very organised. We was left wondering where we was going a few times, as we was asked to move group and jeep more than once.
Dure trip, krijg niks, TIPS : DONT TAKE THIS
it was not Clear enough, they should tell us step by step, because we miss our dinner. We were hungry even few childrens are crying, no time to eat, no explanation. Because the time excursie start 17:00-20:00 not half day trip! They should give us time to buy some snack or what ever we can east !! They dont think ! For €34/person IS TO EXPENSIVE ! 3 places is next to each other, only 1 place bit far but we got only 15 minute to enjoy the fews Too rush !
