A perfect first time holiday together - Kerry. Date of travel: Aug 2008
It was our first holiday together and we loved it. We were just out of the centre and had to get the dolmus into town. It wasn't bad though around 75p and the dolmus would take you anywhere. We found a fabulous place to eat and drink called Bally Mutlar. It was fanstastic the staff took real good care of us and gave us free drinks on our last night! We have just booked to go back to Alanya for the end of May and will be staying in the centre this time. A fabulous holiday for a couple.

Alanya was lovely - Parker. Date of travel: Apr 2008

Alanya Turkey is a good place for a holiday. I had fun and made some friends. People are really friendly and some do speak English, but I advise people to brush up on their Dutch because it is spoken there. There is a tour place that does real good deals near Cleopatra Beach. They speak English and are really friendly. Lovely tours.

Kleopatra beach nice, heard comments such as "F-you" if didn't want to buy in the bazaar. Big Bens and Crusoe good eating place.

Don't have any points bad about Alanya, although do recommend that you shop around and at the markets, ensure you reduce the asking price by half. Best place to eat is Big Bens and I highly recommend it.

My shopping in Alanya - Wendy and Amin. Date of travel: Jul 2007
We only went in to Alanya twice when we where there as we were only there for 7 days this time we are going for 14. It was very hot so the best time to go and shop was late at night when I was there in July. The town is very nice when it is all lit up. I had never been to Turkey before. The thing I do not like is they will not just let you look around the shop they follow you and try and sell you everything so it is hard to look and see what you want. You must watch the price they give you as they try and charge the English a lot more than anyone else.

We loved Alanya - Sarah Loughran. Date of travel: Jun 2007
Alanya centre had plenty of bars of varying types to suit all tastes, however beware of over-charging on drinks. Top tip: Don't run a tab in the bars. Pay for each round individually. The staff are really friendly and very polite.

I love Alanya - Angie and Dave Wilkinson. Date of travel: Jul 2006
Alanya (on Turkey's east coast) is a small place and 2 weeks was too long. The sights from the castle are breathtaking and places to eat reasonable. Some places like New Elvis did a beer for a euro or 2tl. Big Ben's was our local as most of the time we were too tired to go anywhere else but Tony is great and a genuine guy. Say hi to him and Vinny from the Grimsby crew and you read it on the internet. Also try Galipos near Migros supermarket gorgeous food. We loved our holiday to Alanya. Tour Operator: Travelcare

Alanya is FAB!!!! - Kayleigh and the Bailey family. Date of travel: Jul 2006
We have an apartment over in Konakli about 10 mins away from the centre of Alanya and we love it there!!!! The locals are friendly and keep an eye out for you when you're out and about! Turkish night is fantastic in Alarahan and also the boat trip around the coastline...try the Aqua park too. It's brilliant!

Alanya Mahmutlar - Mahmut. Date of travel: Jan 2006
Alanya city itself is a lively labyrinth of shops, bars and restaurants where even the most hardcore shopper can run out of steam and need refreshment at one of the cosy cafés in Centrum or along the beautiful marina. Due to the kilometre long, wide beaches, the great hotels, the exciting and foreign atmosphere and the incredible friendly and especially hospitable population, Alanya is definitely a favourite holiday place of many visitors from Europe if not the whole world!
