Getting to & Around Alanya

Alanya's nearest airport is Antalya (AYT), roughly 2 hours away by car or shuttle — the same major airport serving Antalya city.

Most hotels and villa rentals arrange direct transfers from Antalya airport, and shared shuttle services run this route regularly given how common it is.

Within Alanya, the old town around the castle and harbor is walkable, but a car or scooter opens up the wider coastal area and nearby caves and waterfalls more efficiently.

Alanya has become a genuinely popular retirement and long-stay destination for Northern European and increasingly Middle Eastern buyers, which shows in the town's real estate market and the range of long-term rental options compared to purely seasonal resort towns.
