Alanya Centre

About

Alanya Centre is the very heart of the city. Numerous stylish coffee shops and clothing stores line the streets, along with restaurants offering a wide range of cuisines from around the world.

It is the most populated area of Alanya. Even beyond the main streets and shopping districts, the energy and bustle of vibrant city life continues.

Main attractions here include the harbour (with its iconic motor sailing pirate ships), the Red Tower (a historic fortress), Alanya Castle with its rich heritage, and the ancient shipyard — all surrounded by beautiful sandy beaches.

Activities

Shopping, dining, and enjoying drinks are some of the most popular activities in the city centre.

In addition, you’ll find beaches, historical landmarks, cinemas, and just about everything else you could need — all within easy reach.

Shopping

There are many shopping areas in central Alanya. The main streets are lined with modern fashion boutiques and dazzling jewellery shops, all scattered throughout the centre.

You’ll find everything from beauty and electronics stores to hardware and home goods. Many internationally recognized brands also have branches here.

Behind the busier main streets, traditional local shops still thrive — including butchers, small grocery stores, pharmacies, hardware shops, and vibrant family-owned clothing businesses on almost every corner.

Public Transportation

Public transport in Alanya is easily accessible. Buses run frequently and pass through the busy streets, connecting the city centre with other parts of Alanya.

The number 1 (101) bus travels the full length of Greater Alanya, running close to the coast and beaches. Along the other main shopping street, you’ll find additional lines like number 2 (202A or 202B), which cover several kilometres of Greater Alanya.

From the city centre, you can easily book transport services to Antalya or catch a metered taxi — which are always readily available.

Food & Dining

The city centre offers a wide selection of cafes, restaurants, and fast food outlets, with cuisines ranging from Turkish to Asian and European. Nearly every street has a place to eat or grab a drink.

Many of these are small, family-owned businesses serving Turkish tea and delicious home-style meals. Larger Turkish restaurant chains are also popular, especially among the local population.

Even in the quieter residential areas just behind the busy streets, you’ll find small cafes and eateries offering affordable food and drinks.

Nearby

Alanya Centre is close to several major attractions such as the world-famous Damlataş Beach, the Alanya Cable Car, the Damlataş Dripstone Cave, and the castle area.

It’s also near Oba, a residential district, and Bektas — a more rural area located on the rising roads leading into the mountains in northern Alanya.

Think of Alanya Centre as the bullseye — the core of everything — with all other areas just a short distance away.

Wrap-up

To sum it up, the centre of Alanya is a beautiful and vibrant place with plenty of activities to enjoy. From shopping to dining, it offers a wide variety of experiences, all within walking distance of key attractions.

It’s a well-maintained part of the city, with parks, gardens, tree-lined roads, and colourful landscaping — yet always full of life. Truly, a place that never sleeps.
