Side to Alanya in one day: cable car castle views, Damlataş caves, a harbor boat trip, and riverside lunch at Dim Çayı.

“Overall, the cable car, boat, and market package was good. The boat ride was satisfactory. The music was a bit lacking, especially at the beginning. Two teenage boys provided entertainment by diving off the boat and cliff. We visited an outdoor waterside restaurant with self-service food options, which included chicken or fish. Our next stop was the cable cars, which I enjoyed. Finally, we visited a market before being dropped back at the hotel.”

Half-day Alanya tour with hotel pickup, Damlataş Cave and Cleopatra Beach, plus Alanya Castle by cable car for sunset views.

“The website was very deceiving, two things said to be included were not included in the cost. (We were not the only ones to have this issue). We also had 30 minutes to see the cave, but there was no time to even buy a ticket. The buses need to be better equipped as they were old/smelly and run down. The only positive was the friendly tour guide.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 177 reviews · from $19

A 3-hour Alanya castle visit with Damlataş Cave and optional cable car, including pickup, a guide, insurance, and big views.

“This was the best short excursion I have ever been on and it made my holiday very special. So much was seen in only a couple of hours from a historical cave (Damlatas) to a spectacular castle, a beautiful Mosque to a cute little bazaar. The castle is so high up above Alanya, that it can only be reached by cable car which was very enjoyable and had amazing views! Finally we were driven high up to a viewpoint where the entirety of Alanya could be seen. To see all of Alanya from two different high viewpoints was wonderful and the guide and his driver were both friendly, warm, helpful…”

For that much money, I say everyone should try it. The photos and videos that were taken up there are unfortunately quite expensive, they could be reduced, but apart from that, it was incredibly good!

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 87 reviews · from $35

See Alanya by cabrio bus with Red Tower, Cleopatra Beach, Damlataş Cave, castle sunset, BBQ dinner, and a belly dance show.

“Booked in German, unfortunately no tour guide available for German. Jeep driver didn't even get a hello from his mouth, let alone any information. The cave is unfortunately only 1 room, so disappointment was great. It was not mentioned in the booking that you have to take the cable car up to the castle, which is very bad if you are afraid of heights. So we had to wait at the bottom until the other guests came back after sunset, which is exactly why we booked the tour. We then canceled the tour because of this. Unfriendly, no information, no German, facts are concealed... Conclusion: Big disappointment and not worth…”

“The tour was very nice. Drinks were well chilled and plentiful on board. Lunch was also good. Not much, but delicious! The swimming opportunities and the foam party were a highlight. The promised children's entertainment was a bit lacking. But that wasn't a problem because the tour was exciting even for the little ones. The toilets on board are definitely a real problem! You should avoid these if possible because they are actually not acceptable (just from the smell)!”

“Great first trip to do in Turkey. Picked up from our hotel and drove to a plaza with the caves, beach, and bazaar. We were given free time after an intro by our fabulous guide Cemil, where we looked in the caves and bought some souvenirs. We then took the cable car to the top and wandered around the castle as a group before more free time to explore. So many friendly cats. Cecil stayed near to take pictures and explain history of the mosque. We then drove to the "I love Alanya" sign with Kristina who took more pictures of us with the skyline. A brilliant few hours and…”
