Interesting Tours Around Alanya – A Complete Guide for Tourists

For years, Alanya has remained one of the most popular holiday destinations in Türkiye among travelers. Warm sea, wide sandy beaches, the scenic Taurus Mountains, and countless attractions make it a place where everyone – regardless of age – can find something to enjoy.

Interestingly, Alanya may soon become even more accessible for European tourists thanks to the ongoing expansion of Gazipaşa Airport. Gazipaşa - Alanya Airport is located much closer to the city center than Antalya Airport. The transfer from Gazipaşa to Alanya takes approximately 30-45 minutes, while the journey from Antalya can often take 2-3 hours during the high season.

According to official airport authorities, modernization and infrastructure expansion works are currently underway. The goal is to increase capacity and allow the airport to handle more international flights. The project is theoretically scheduled for completion in October 2026.

What does this mean for tourists?

• Shorter transfer time to your hotel

• Greater travel comfort

• Potentially more direct international flights

In the past, there were already direct flights on the Warsaw/Copenhagen/Bratislava - Gazipaşa route. That’s why many European tourists are hoping that, once the expansion is completed, new connections will be introduced.

Thanks to this development, Alanya may become even more competitive compared to other resorts on the Turkish Riviera. So, whether you’re planning your holiday in Alanya or you’re already here wondering which excursions to choose, we’ve prepared a practical guide to the most popular attractions. In this article, you’ll find detailed descriptions of our most interesting tours, organizational tips, and transfer information. All options are perfect for families, couples, groups of friends, and thrill-seekers.
