Alanya is a seaside resort located on the Turkish Mediterranean Sea riviera. The city has a population of 150,000, but during the summer the populations increases due to large numbers of tourists. The easiest way to get to Alanya is by air and the airport is in Antalya, which is 90 minutes away by car (about 75 miles).
Many tourists (especially Scandinavian, German, Russian and the Dutch people) vacation in Alanya during the summer. Tourists are drawn to the area because of reasonable prices, pleasantly warm weather, sandy beaches, and cuisine.
With its rich architectural heritage, Alanya is a member of the Norwich-based European Association of Historic Towns and Regions .
