Good day, tourists :)
If you have not yet enjoyed beautiful views of Alanya from the height of bird (or almost a bird) flight, then you lost a lot :)
Alanya fortress sounds in local language as Alanya Kalesi.
Located near the city itself. You can get to her either from the bus station on the bus number four that go on schedule, but sometimes delayed. Either call a taxi (in the city there are buttons to call a city taxi, so the phone number is not necessary to know), and an experienced driver domains you up for 35 lire (about 350 rubles).
And on top of you opens indescribable beauty!
The entrance to the territory was 15 lir per person (this is without descent on the funicular).
We pay, pass through the turnstile and enjoy a walk.
Go down to Echmead. An old village, the narrow streets of which are impregnated with history.
From the height, the legendary Cleopatra Beach, the sand on which was brought directly from Egypt.
And mountains, and the sea and the sky!
It turns out wonderful photos worthy of their separate exhibition :)
If you want to eat, you can visit one of the numerous cafes located throughout the tourist trail.
Prices in cafe are different, but portions are equally huge :)
Excursion to the fortress (if you rise by bus or taxi), it is absolutely not difficult and even children can cope with her.
All the roads, with the exception of the rocky old trail in Echmeken, wide and safe.
Recently, a funicular was built to the fortress with Alanya. Modern cable car, which great facilitates the path to tourists.
No less than four people are usually allowed to the cabin. So, if you travel together - get ready for neighbors.
The cost of descent on the cable car 14 lir with one person.
The fortress is open to about six o'clock in the evening.
Little Tip: Do not forget about comfortable shoes. No heels and flip flops are preferably sneakers or comfortable sandals.
Summing up, I can say that the tour of the fortress turned out to be rather entertaining and interesting. If you love sea expanses, mountains and are interested in the history of the country in which you relax - I highly recommend visiting Alanya Kalesi.
