It should be noted that you may be charged a separate fee for the use of beach equipment. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
By the number of entertainment, Alanya is not inferior to other Turkish regions. Many hotels have their own water parks, where other tourists are allowed for a fee. For this, there is a separate ticket office where you can purchase a ticket. Among the water parks, Water Planet in Okurcalar is the first in the ranking among tourists. Water Planet is a paradise for families with children: an incredible number and variety of slides, playgrounds for children, restaurants, and cafes where each parent will find a nice children's menu. Sealanya Marine Park is the other entertainment facility in Alanya, where besides the dolphinarium there is an aqua park and a swimming area with sharks (although they are fenced off with bars) and dolphins.

Here every couple must follow the ancient ritual to strengthen the relations by passing the cave through, and then, with holding hands to jump from the cliff and gain eternal love. And the last cave you must see here is the Phosphoric, the arches of which slightly glow in the dark. According to one version, this is due to a small amount of phosphorus in the rocks of the cave. According to another version: the cave glows from the inside because the water has a reflection on the caves' walls.

Attractions and entertainment in Turkey

Backpacking tours have become increasingly popular with both locals and tourists. A tour to the mountains that lasts one to several days gives tourists many unforgettable memories and incredible landscapes. For a long time, the famous Lycian Way was the only trail available to tourists. Nowadays, many coastal towns have become bigger in size, the infrastructure of the region is changing, and so big parts of the way disappear. Because of that, new trails are being made in Turkey. They recreate ancient roads, so they are no less interesting than the Lycian Way. Saint Paul Trail is 500 km long. It stretches in the central part of the country and covers such famous landmarks as magnificent deep canyons and crystal clear Egirdir Lake. The Kackar trail stretches almost near the border with Georgia, in the territory of the ancient Queen Tamara’s Kingdom.
