Alanya Kalesi
Dating as far back as the 13th century this castle actually stopped being a form of defence in the 19th century when numerous villas and private residences were constructed in the walls. Surrounded on 3 sides by the blue waters of the Med, the castle is a simply stunning place to visit and you will have plenty of time to explore and take photos.

Alanya Kalesi
To round off an evening of culture, history and nature we take it all in from up high. The Alanya cable car is a fantastic way to end this tour as we fly peacefully over the ancient city. The cable stretches from the castle to Cleopatra’s beach and is about 900 metres long. As the sun sets and the city is bathed in the warm glow of the early evening this is a perfect way to round off your tour.

Cable car
Very enjoyable evening, lovely cable car ride with fantastic views. Cave was amazing, castle a long hot walk but worth it. Sadly lost points for not being very organised. We was left wondering where we was going a few times, as we was asked to move group and jeep more than once.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.

Dure trip, krijg niks, TIPS : DONT TAKE THIS
it was not Clear enough, they should tell us step by step, because we miss our dinner. We were hungry even few childrens are crying, no time to eat, no explanation. Because the time excursie start 17:00-20:00 not half day trip! They should give us time to buy some snack or what ever we can east !! They dont think ! For €34/person IS TO EXPENSIVE ! 3 places is next to each other, only 1 place bit far but we got only 15 minute to enjoy the fews Too rush !
Response from the operator: I am sorry for the inconvenience that you have experienced but the tour program is stated very clearly step by step including the locations, activities and timings on the website. Overall duration of the tour is 3 hours as you have mentioned on your review and it is a half day tour. Kindly remove the review from our page so future guests aren’t misled. Thanks.

Ana and John are very...
Ana and John are very nice tour guides. Within a short time period of a few hours you get to see a few of the main attractions Alanya has to offer. The whole experience was easy as you don’t have to think about things and you get picked up and dropped off at the hotel.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.

From Alanya: Sightseeing Half Day City Tour w/Cable Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alanya.
How much does From Alanya: Sightseeing Half Day City Tour w/Cable Car cost?
+
Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alanya usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Alanya: Sightseeing Half Day City Tour w/Cable Car take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Alanya is not rushed.
Is From Alanya: Sightseeing Half Day City Tour w/Cable Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 187 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alanya, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Alanya: Sightseeing Half Day City Tour w/Cable Car?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Alanya: Sightseeing Half Day City Tour w/Cable Car suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Alanya: Sightseeing Half Day City Tour w/Cable Car?
+
Around 65 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Alanya can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Alanya and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Alanya: Sightseeing Half Day City Tour w/Cable Car start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Alanya within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Alanya?
+
On Outty we rank every Alanya experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alanya Paragliding With Experienced Pilot's, Tandem Paragliding in Alanya, Antalya Turkey with a Licensed Guide, Sapadere Canyon Waterfall ,Dim Stream and Dim Cave Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Alanya?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Alanya?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
