The Red Tower is located at the end of the harbour, just up from the jetty. The opening hours where 9.00 am - 19.00 pm in the summer. Entrance fee was 7 TL or 10 TL with the Shipyard or 14 TL with Shipyard & Damlatas cave. Four floors to visit, plus the turret with fantastic views at the top. As this is a medieval tower, there are lots of steep ,narrow, steps to climb, so not suitable for people with disabilities, or small children. Displays, models, old photos, on each floor. A must do, is on the second floor, walk out onto the old walls, the only way you can access it, again great views, but a lot of people miss it.

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.

Not far from Alanya or from the main road, but up a very steep small road winding up the hill through banana plantations, the last bit of which was unpaved. Large car park with toilets. The day we were there it was free to enter. From the car park, there is steep walk up lots of steps though OK underfoot and there were seats on the way up (see photo of steps). Lots of ruins dating from Roman times including a street, also ruined castle, There isnt an awful lot left so you need your imagination though the views up there are to die for. Worth a visit,

This ruined city is located situated on a hill overlooking the sea not far from Alanya. It can be reached by a sealed road from the village of Seki just off the D400. It's a fairly large site with ruins scattered across a tree and bush covered hillside. The best ruins are concentrated along what was once the main street. You’ll have to climb a series of steep wooden steps from the parking lot to reach the site. What a great place to wander. It feels like nothing has changed since the earthquake that devastated the city in the 7th century. Fallen columns litter the main street. The best ruin is the Great Bath. Great photos are available when walking on the path above the main street shooting down (ruins of the basilica are up here). There’s a good WC at the parking lot and a map information board to guide you (you’ll find more map information boards around the site). The best part of visiting is that we had the whole place to ourselves. Entrance is free. This is a site you don’t want to miss.
