Our journey begins with a visit to the magnificent Alanya Castle, a medieval fortress that has withstood the test of time. Built in the 13th century by the Sultan of Seljuk atop the remains of Byzantine and Roman fortifications, this castle rests majestically on a rocky peninsula, with the Mediterranean Sea surrounding it on three sides. Several villas were built inside its walls in the 19th century, and today the castle is an open-air museum offering visitors awe-inspiring panoramic views.

Next, we venture just below Alanya Castle to the mystical Damlatas Cave, a hidden gem with stunning calcite formations. Discovered in 1948 during the construction of Alanya harbor, this cave is believed to possess healing properties, particularly for those with asthmatic and rheumatoid conditions. In fact, the cave has separate visits just for medicinal purposes! Descend into its enchanting interior and admire the illuminated stalagmites and stalactites as you enjoy the cool cavern air.
