Alanya: city districts

Some historical facts about Alanya

Turkey is a vast country with beautiful resort areas, where citizens of many countries of the European Union, Asia, and the post-Soviet space prefer to relax. One of the most visited regions in Alanya. The history of the city of Alanya has its roots in the 2nd century BC, when smugglers and pirates who fled from Greece found their refuge within its walls, instilling fear in all the shipping of the Mediterranean Sea. In 67 BC, the Roman Senate armed several dozen soldiers who entered into a decisive battle with the sea robbers. Subsequently, the city was part of Byzantium for a millennium, was subjected to Arab raids, was repeatedly renamed, and in 1471 became part of the Ottoman Empire.

The long history of Alanya has left indelible marks in the city's architecture and presented unique medieval sights.

The average annual air temperature rarely drops below 20ºС. A variety of entertainment allows every tourist to find a suitable activity for himself: sunbathing on the municipal beach, plunging into the depths of the sea, making an exciting voyage to pirate places, going fishing, becoming a participant in a festival or holiday that often held in front of the administration building.
