Alanya: Castle Sunset Tour, Damlatas Cave&Cable Car Options - Hotel pickup in an open midibus

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 500 reviews · 3 - 3.5 hours · from $21Our pick

Review of Alanya’s sunset tour with Damlatas Cave, cable car, castle views, transport, costs, walking demands, and practical booking tips.

“This was the best short excursion I have ever been on and it made my holiday very special. So much was seen in only a couple of hours from a historical cave (Damlatas) to a spectacular castle, a beautiful Mosque to a cute little bazaar. The castle is so high up above Alanya, that it can only be reached by cable car which was very enjoyable and had amazing views! Finally we were driven high up to a viewpoint where the entirety of Alanya could be seen. To see all of Alanya from two different high viewpoints was wonderful and the guide and his driver were both friendly, warm, helpful…”

Alanya: Family-Friendly Catamaran Cruise with Castle Views

8.Family-Friendly Catamaran Cruise with Castle Views

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 41 reviews · from $20

Review of Alanya’s family catamaran cruise, with castle views, cave stops, swimming near Cleopatra Beach, lunch, drinks, and practical tips.

“The tour was very nice. Drinks were well chilled and plentiful on board. Lunch was also good. Not much, but delicious! The swimming opportunities and the foam party were a highlight. The promised children's entertainment was a bit lacking. But that wasn't a problem because the tour was exciting even for the little ones. The toilets on board are definitely a real problem! You should avoid these if possible because they are actually not acceptable (just from the smell)!”

This was our favourite tour so far in Turkey, all the locations we visited were briliant and the food was lovely. Highly recommend.”

“Thank you to Anna and John who were incredibly informative and helpful during the tour. We were picked up and taken to Alanya. First we were given the history of Damatlas cave and given the option of exploring. This is at a charge of 3 euros. We were then given time to explore Cleopatra Beach and the surrounding shops. We then took the cable carts which cost 10 euros up to the castle which we explored and hiked up to. We then visited Suleimanie Mosque which Anna provided the history too. We then were given the option to explore the old Bazaar or follow Anna to a beautiful view point.…”
