Getting to Alanya and back
Dolmuş to Alanya centre: 45 TL per person, pay the driver in lira (Haberci Alanya (UKOME tariff), 7 Feb 2025 · may have risen since). Wave one down on the main road; say "Alanya" and sit. For the last dolmuş back, ask the driver that day; in summer they run late, in winter they thin out early.
Taxi: meter starts at 60 TL, 70 TL per km, minimum 250 TL (short-trip fee) (official tariff since 23 Mar 2026; Yeni Alanya (official Alanya–Gazipaşa taxi tariff), 18 Mar 2026). The price to Alanya from here is on the meter, not on a sign at the gate; if a driver quotes a fixed price, it's usually above the meter.
The beach
Mixed sand and pebble, with a long promenade behind it. Bring sandals for the pebbly stretches.
On foot
The promenade runs the length of the resort; the centre with the Wednesday market, the bank ATMs and the night pharmacy is a 10–15 minute walk from most hotels.
A day without a tour
- Swim early, then the dolmuş into Alanya, 20–30 minutes.
- Damlataş cave and the archaeology museum in the heat of the day, both cool inside; Kleopatra beach after.
- Back for the sunset on the promenade; Wednesday market if it's Wednesday.
Evenings
The promenade cafés at 20:00, then the centre. Konaklı is the easiest of the three for an evening out without a taxi.
Pick-up from Konaklı
Tours collect you at your hotel's outer gate; the exact time is on your confirmation. Konaklı is usually picked up after Türkler and before Alanya, so you board a bus that is already half full and get home first on the way back. Early tours (Cappadocia, Pamukkale) leave between 02:00 and 04:00.
