The Alanya City Guides answer the questions visitors ask on day one: where locals eat a tantuni wrap or grilled trout, how to see the Seljuk castle, the Red Tower and the old shipyard in one sensible loop, which beaches the dolmuş reaches and where the evening goes after İskele Caddesi. Every place comes with a clear reason to go, what to order or look at and one practical tip, and each guide opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Kaşıkara Ocakbaşı Restaurant
Saray, Kasapoğlu Sokak
A back-street grill where lamb ribs, Adana kebab and liver cook over charcoal, and the waiter tells you what is best that day. Around €8 to €12 a head with salad and bread. From the food guide.
Ehmedek Kalesi
Hisariçi, Ehmedek Sokak
The eastern bastion of the castle walls, dropping steeply to the sea, reached by steps and a rough path shared with plenty of cats. Allow 30 to 45 minutes and come in the late afternoon, when the light over the bay is at its best. From the things to do guide.
Incekum Beach
Avsallar, about 40 minutes west
Soft sand and shallow water west of town, with showers and changing cabins for a small fee. Busy on summer weekends, almost deserted in winter. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Alanya
Day one: climb the castle hill with the things to do guide, from the Ehmedek walls to the Bedesten, walk down to the Red Tower and the shipyard, then lunch on pide in Saray and take a harbour sundowner from the nightlife guide. Day two: ride a dolmuş east for Dim Cave and a trout lunch over the river, then give the late afternoon to Kleopatra Beach. Rainy or slow day: the Archaeological Museum, a hammam near Damlataş Cave, an indoor play centre for the children and a home-cooking lunch from the budget guide.
