Alanya Shipyard

Reviewed By Jane2003rugby - Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom

Favourite place to visit in Alanya. You can feel the History, in the oldest medieval shipyard in Europe constructed in 1227. Great views looking out over the Bay. Visiting hours 9.00 am until 19.00 pm in the Summer. Visited with the combined Ticket which was 14 TL for the shipyard, red tower & damlatas caves. 10 TL for tower & shipyard. 7 TL for just the shipyard. Reconstruction of ships, artifacts, ship building equipment, 5 Tunnels, walkway to 2 storage rooms at the back. Have to bend down, quite low, under a wall, to get to it, so not great for any disabilities people might have. Single person with a pushchair & child might also struggle to got under. A great price for just over a £ 1.00 to see.

Reviewed By emmgee8

It's a long walk in a canyon between high mountains and cold water river. The walk is very beautiful with fantastic views. There is also some activities in the park, such as zip lines and rafting.

Ancient city of Diocaesarea-Olba

Reviewed By 1973LYS - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

This is really my third visit of Diocaesarea Olba. With my first and second too-short-visit, finally I was able to spend some more time in this ancient city Personally I understand there are "two parts" of Olba: *The first location - where the Hellenistic Temple of Zeus, Arch of Colonaded Street, Byzantine Gate and Roman Temple of Tyche are situated. Most of the tourists visit this location only. Entrance fee is 10 Turkish Lira. *The second location unguarded - where the grande aqueduct, roman theatre, nymphaeum. To reach this area, either by car or walking are the only options. There is no public transport as this acropolis is literally in the middle of nowhere. Behind the grande aqueduct there is vast valley of many romans' rock tombs with beautiful carving, (maybe) small church, cisterns, and more. I have no idea how vast the valley is, but if we keep walking along the valley, it may be endless. My travel partner thought the aqueduct was higher size in in ancient time too.

Yilankale

Reviewed By rmitgoteam - Naples, United States

This is a wonderful fortress that has been partially restored. The walk starts from the parking lot with paved stones (there’s a cafe here). The easy part soon stops and the path gets rougher but easily manageable. As you go higher and approach the fortress, the path quickly deteriorates. It’s no longer a path. Some difficult rocking climbing is required through this upper section. Getting on all fours will be necessary for many people. When you come back down you’ll likely be sitting and sliding done these same rocks. Some of these rocks are very smooth from lots of use. The climbing required through this section makes Termossos look like a walk in the park. However, we did see older tourists make it up using all fours and down sitting and sliding. There’s more difficult walking once inside the fortress since some of the paths that wind their way around are not in good condition. The panoramas from the top are a bit disappointing due to lots plastic covered vegetable farming and a big rock quarry cluttering the views. The best views of the fortress are on the way up before the bad part starts and from the road below as you approach the parking area.

Monumental Fountain (Nymphaeum)

Reviewed By KatharineReviews - Newbury, United Kingdom

This is one of the nearest ancient city parts to the parking and public transport area but, along with the Apollo temple and the amphitheatre, one of the most stunning. Great to think how it may have worked when fully functioning but some noticeboards also give guidance. A must-see for any visitor to Side.

Buyuk Saat

Reviewed By Ayshasan12 - Nanjing, China

The great clock tower is an iconic spot in Adana and certainly allows the visitors Instagram worthy pictures. For a more picturesque moment I would recommend alittle later hours, when the ancient bazar has relatively closed down and the street lights are mostly enlightening the area. It’s famously known to be one of the tallest in Turkey. (At least that was what was written in the magazine advert) But this bazar is one of the oldest and has many shops ranging from weaponry (yes weaponry, quite shocking) to tobacco products and magnets. The bazar also hosts many famous kebab places and I would definitely recommend the visitors to try those. It’s very close to the authentic Turkish spa (Hamam) , which quite complement the clock at the background and is opposite to a small park. I would recommend the visitors to enter with a car not only because the roads are narrow, but you wouldn’t find spot to park comfortably. Also, On foot would definitely help to discover more than with a car.
