Alanya, Turkey - Shore Excursion Cruises

Alanya, Turkey

Alanya, 115 km (72 miles) east of Antalya, was favored as a seaside resort by the Seljuk Turks 800 years ago, just as it is for the thousands of British and European visitors who pack its hundreds of hotels and villas today.

For the Seljuks, the attraction was the mild climate, the good harbor, and its relative closeness to Konya, the Seljuk capital.

For today's visitors it's the l-o-n-g stretches of sand beach, the warm waters of Turkey's Mediterranean coast, and the deep history of the town.
