Alanya Castle is a Seljuk-era fortress on a rocky peninsula above the Mediterranean in Alanya, Türkiye, and it is one of the town's most recognisable landmarks. Its walls and towers sit high above the harbour and beaches, so the views are part of the visit. Many travellers see it from the water or the air rather than only from the ground.
On TurB2C you can see the castle from a sea cruise that passes it and the sea caves, or from a tandem paragliding flight that takes in Cleopatra Beach and the fortress from above. Both tours include hotel pickup, and a licensed guide or pilot leads the trip.
The Relaxing Cruise With Transfer runs for about 5 hours and takes you past Alanya Castle as you sail along the coast. The route also visits sea caves and stops in secluded coves, where you can go for a swim in the Mediterranean Sea. Lunch is served on deck, so you can eat while you watch the coastline pass by. A roundtrip transfer is included only if you select that option when booking, so check your booking before you travel.
The Tandem Paragliding Flight Over Cleopatra Beach lasts about 2 hours and gives you a view of Alanya Castle, Cleopatra Beach, the Mediterranean and the mountains around the town. You fly in tandem with a professional, licensed pilot and land safely on the beach. Because the flight is a tandem experience, you do not need to fly the glider yourself. Check the listing for any health or age requirements before you book.
The Night Jeep Safari, Boat Trip and Dinner takes about 5 hours and uses Land Rover Defender vehicles with professional drivers. The route goes through orange orchards and along Oba Stream, then continues with a boat trip of about 2 hours from the Alanya Yacht Harbor to the Phosphorus Cave, with a swim at Cleopatra Beach. The tour also includes lunch, a photo stop at the Cikcilli Panorama point, and a dinner of hot chicken menu with cold garnish, followed by hotel drop-off. This tour focuses on the countryside and sea rather than the castle itself.
All three tours on TurB2C include hotel pickup, so you do not need to arrange your own transport to the departure point. Choose the cruise if you want a slower day on the water, the paragliding flight if you want a short aerial view, or the night jeep safari if you would rather spend your evening in the hills. Check the cancellation terms on each listing before you book. The opening hours of Alanya Castle itself are not listed on TurB2C, so check them with local authorities before you go.
