Alanya Castle

August 1
The Alanya Fortress, founded in 1226, is a truly impressive place steeped in history and the atmosphere of antiquity. Amazing views of the sea and the city, the ancient walls and towers of the fortress create a unique picture that leaves an impression for a long time! A walk through the narrow streets and ancient corners of the fortress immerses you in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages and allows you to feel the greatness of the past. There is an ancient mosque on the territory of the fortress, which is still open to the public today.
Alanya Fortress is a must-visit place for all fans of history and beauty!🤩👍

The fortress was visited in 2021 in September, when we rested in Konakli.
We took a short tour.
It takes an hour and a half to drive from Konakles. Maybe less, in a jeep)
The attraction is beautiful!
We rode the cable car to the top in booths. There were, of course, ascents up the stairs and descents back.
It's very beautiful, I liked it!
Upstairs there is a huge "window" with a view of the sea and Alanya. Very beautiful!
The attraction is located next to Cleopatra Beach.
I recommend viewing and visiting those who will be vacationing in Turkey.
You can go by yourself, but we decided to take a guided tour so that the guide would tell the story of the attraction...

Beautiful, accessible. We parked in a residential area, bought tickets after the fact, there are not many tourists during the day. Nearby there is a funicular and a descent into caves, a port with yachts for walking in the sea. If you buy everything on the spot, the prices are cheaper than at the guides and at the tour stalls about once every 12 hours.

A small fortress from the time of the Roman Empire. Beautiful views of the coast from above. You can walk or take a ride on the cable car. There is a small museum inside. In general, it is a good place to just take a walk.

The symbol of the city of Alanya, many interesting locations inside and near the fortress, not everyone can climb to the top of the fortress on foot, a telephone and a taxi to help, in the heat you can hide inside the fortress in the shade of a coniferous forest, many viewing platforms, must-visit.

Since I am a lover of everything ancient, I really liked it. The fortress is well restored, dating back to the times of the Roman Empire. The views from here are just a bomb. April 24th entrance cost 12 euros, there are plenty of places where you can walk for free up to the fortress. We got here on foot from the lower station of the cable car along the road, then the paths uphill, we decided not to spend money on the canal in 5 minutes. The ascent is not difficult, half an hour maximum, the main thing is to take water with you. There are plenty of paths, if you decide to walk, you can go safely. You can also take a taxi and a cable car.

A medieval fortress, very well preserved in places. I will not retell the audio guide, I recommend listening to the story yourself. I would like to note that the place is quite quiet, there are few tourists, stunning cedars, and a great view of the sea.

Very beautiful view from all sides. You can go upstairs on foot, even without special sports training. For tourists, the place is as refined as possible-steps, floor, observation decks, signs

It is really built on the ruins of antiquity, however, it is partially worth the rebirth... On the territory, in addition to buildings from.There is a deep underground cistern on the island of sticks with awesome acoustics and free entrance (someone wrote below that it is not the only one). Otherwise, there is a lot of reconstruction of disgusting quality. If you have a binocole, I advise you to take it with you. A walk from the funicular takes a lot of time and effort (a lot of descents and ascents), I advise you not to skimp on a return ticket on the funicular: 3 minutes sitting and you will find yourself in the center

You can climb the fortress by cable car, it works until 23.00. However, it is expensive. After the cable car, there are still multiple ascents with ladders, it will be difficult for the elderly. Then there are colorful fortress walls, a mosque, an old bazaar, impressive views of Alanya, cafes - very cool, especially at sunset. We definitely recommend you to visit. After walking along the fortress walls, you can reach Ichkale, but we could not, because the stairs with ladders lead to Ichkale again, it is very difficult. We recommend visiting Ichkale separately, driving up there along the serpentine by car or taxi.

We went up and down on the funicular. Then we walked along the wooden floors on the territory of the fortress itself. Beautiful views of the sea and the port, souvenirs are sold, there is a cafe

The place is great. Great view, zeitgeist and all that. But 12 euros for admission is too much. It's a little cheaper with a museum card, but nevertheless. You can walk around for free. The content is provided! 🌿

A place that is absolutely not worth the money. Admission is 12 euros per person. In fact, there is nothing but an observation deck. Well, walls and walls, a couple of rooms with stands in Turkish. There is no information in Russian or at least English at all except for the cost of tickets. We got to the fortress by bus, which travels once an hour, at least we didn't overpay for the funicular. You can take the bus from the Cleopatra Beach stop, it goes once an hour, about 40 minutes every hour. He leaves the fortress at 55-00 minutes every hour. Use it) although it is better not to go there in principle

A pleasant city, a fortress is its ancient heart. It is better to count on an hour for 2 walks, there is something to see.
They did not go to the Citadel at the very top because of horse prices, without this there are enough impressions and views.

An excellent monument to the ancient culture of Turkey. You can go upstairs in a rented car without paying for the funicular, because the ticket price does not correspond to reality. You'll have to sweat on the narrow streets with oncoming cars, but the beautiful view above is worth it.

It's not worth your money at all ...
As of September 2024, the price is 500 lira. for 1 person.
In fact, the ruins are stupidly the same as what we saw after the funicular, nothing new and picturesque, the views are the same as before, the piles of stones are the same.
Don't waste your time.

Старые руины крепости и прекрасный вид на бухту Аланьи. Очень атмосферное место. Канатная дорога минут 7 по стоимости 160 турецких лир. Построена недавно для сокращения потока машин, которые разбивали дорогу к крепости.
Жаль что вход в саму крепость платный еще 160 TL. Но само место энергетически заряженное. И очень рекомендуемое к посещению.

It's better to go to the red tower, the fortress is absolutely not worth your money, and it's a perfect pig to sell entrance tickets for 12 euros, but at the same time all information stands are only in Turkish 👎

There were 2 goals back. We wanted to go this year and are shocked by the entrance prices. I am attaching a photo of the ticket 2 years ago. At the new prices, of course, there is nothing to do there.

Внутри крепости смотреть особо нечего, только красивые панорамные виды. Есть небольшая церковь, крепостные стены, несколько цистерн и пушечные ядра, мини-музей. В этом году цену подняли с 65 до 150 лир, своих денег точно не стоит. Учитывая, что нас было четверо, отдали больше 2000₽. Советую на автобусе за 15 лир подняться наверх и спуститься вниз пешком. Тогда увидите все эти стены и атмосферные виды бесплатно, а внизу около дамлаташа можно посетить археологический музей за 40 лир, нам понравился.

The view is beautiful, but it has become very expensive. More than 2000 liras were charged for 4 adults and 1 child.

Пожалуй одно из первых мест которое необходимо посетить это Крепость Алании. Билет 65 лир. + можно взять аудиогида на любом языке. Учтите что закрывается в 17.00 по этому закат там встретить не получится. Приятный внутренний й парк, можно отдохнуть на лавке. Рекомендую пройти путь до крепости пешком, и тау же обратно, фуникулер для ленивых) Будте в форме!)

The price for entry to the upper fortress is 450-500 liras per person. It's not the season in autumn. There's nothing to see upstairs

Well, on the verge of cost.
You can take a walk for 30 minutes.
If you expect that there is nothing there at all, then you can be surprised.
If you think that there is a museum there, probably not.

Красивые виды, интересно прогуляться. Можно подняться пешком, на авто или на фуникулёре.
Маленькие дети могут устать - много ступенек и тд)

An interesting place to walk and get acquainted with the history of Alanya, the remains of frescoes are even visible in the church. But walking on your own, keep in mind that there are no inscriptions in Russian, at most in English

Historical object. You need to visit if you find yourself in those parts. Upstairs in the fortress everything is ennobled and you can take pictures of the views.

Место прикольное, но наверху вас ждёт платный вход в крепость за 280 лир с человека. По мне это не стоит того. Но можно подняться просто ради видов. Тут сосновый лес и очень хороший воздух
