Your hotel area
A 4 km beach lined with large hotels, a Sunday market, and the earliest pick-up times on the coast because the buses start here. The place I know best; my family's shop is here.
Dolmuş to Alanya centre: 55 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.
Coarse sand, deeper quickly than Incekum. Fine for adults; small children need armbands.
Most hotels are on the beach side of the main road; the centre (Sipahioğlu Çarşısı, pharmacies, barbers, cafés) is 5–10 minutes on foot. Cross the main road at the lights, not between the dolmuşes.
Türkler is quiet after 22:00; the evening is the hotel show or a walk to the centre for tea and a bag of pistachios. For a proper night out, Alanya harbour is the dolmuş there and a taxi back.
Tours collect you at your hotel's outer gate; the exact time is on your confirmation. The buses start on the west side, so Türkler is often the first pick-up and the first drop-off. Early tours (Cappadocia, Pamukkale) leave between 02:00 and 04:00.
About 20 km west along the coast road; 35–45 minutes by dolmuş, depending on stops and traffic.
Sunday, on Akdam Yolu opposite the Jasmin Hotel, as published this spring. Go before 11:00.
It gets deep faster than at Incekum. Fine with an adult and armbands; the hotel pool for toddlers.
Tell me your hotel and dates; I'll say which of these actually fit your week.
Ask Adnan on WhatsAppReserve free, pay on the day. Cancel until the evening before, unless the experience says otherwise.
Pins are placed by hand and are approximate (within a few hundred metres). Use them to see what is near what; use your phone's map for the last turn.
Shopping · Türkler
Bags, watches, sunglasses and small gifts at three quality levels, with the price told to you straight. No pressure, no 'special price for you'.
Not for: Anyone looking for a 2 € souvenir; this is a proper shop.
Sipahioğlu Çarşısı, 5–10 minutes on foot from most Türkler hotels
This is Adnan's family shop since 1996. Said plainly so you can judge the recommendation.
Beach · Türkler
Four kilometres of coarse sand in front of the big hotels. Deeper quickly than Incekum; fine for adults, watch small children.
Not for: Toddlers without armbands.
In front of the hotels
Market · Türkler
Fruit, olives, spices, cheap clothes and the usual fakes. Go before 11 for the real market.
Not for: Pushchairs on a busy day; people who hate bargaining.
Akdam Yolu, opposite the Jasmin Hotel, Sundays
Shops and restaurants appear here only after I've been this season, with my own money. All places →
Wed · Fri · Sun · Full day
The one tour I'd book first. Castle, the old harbour, the Red Tower, then lunch on a platform over the cold Dim river. You see the real town, not the hotel strip.
Not for: Wheelchair users (castle paths are steep and uneven); people who need to be back by 15:00

Hot marble, a scrub that takes off a week of sun, a foam wash and tea afterwards. The best thing to do on a rainy day or the day after a long tour.
Not for: Pregnant guests, people with heart conditions or very low blood pressure, children under about 6
