prime location turkey

Modern-day Alanya offers kilometres of sandy beaches, waterside promenades flanked by modern high-rise apartment blocks and a bustling town-centre that offers every type of amenity, including hospitals and schools, excellent shopping and a lively nightlife. Combine this with its wonderful year-round climate, it's no coincidence why the resort appeals to retired second homeowners as much as it does to younger holidaymakers. One of Alanya's biggest attractions is its beaches, which these days are bordered by residential developments and hotels, rather than banana plantations and orange groves. For affordable leather goods, shoes, clothes, spices, silver and gold jewellery, electrical items and all types of personal items, Alanya is a shoppers' paradise, packed with colourful shops, particularly in and around the old town, and of course in its colourful bazaar.
