Really enjoyed this trip. Because it's a catamaran it doesn't rock anywhere near as much as the normal wooden pirate boats, so no sea sickness for me! The crew were brilliant, making jokes and making sure everyone was safe getting in and out of the water during the swim stops. We even saw a sea turtle which made my day. There was plenty of room on the nets to lay out and sunbathe. Just remember to bring your own towels. Would 100% book again.
Booked this last minute and so glad we did. The Starcraft yacht is massive and really clean. If you want a fun day out, this is the one. They had a foam party on the middle deck which the teens loved, while my husband and I stayed on the top deck getting some sun in peace. Lunch was a nice buffet. Drinks from the bar are extra but not crazy priced compared to our hotel. Transfer back was smooth with a very polite driver.
Picked up right on time from our hotel in Alanya. The drive is a bit long to get to the port but the transport was air-conditioned so we just slept. Suluada is absolutely stunning, the water is crystal clear just like the photos they show you. Lunch was simple but really tasty after swimming. Only downside was the island gets a bit crowded with other boats, but our boat itself had plenty of space to relax. Great value for the money.
Suluada Boat Tour
Definitely more relaxing than every other boar going out of the harbour! The crew are fantastic, very safety conscious. Lunch was delicious. Very reasonably priced trip and obviously they make their money on selling drinks and ice creams - which a few people take up.
Numerous swim stops. Not quite enough sunny spots for those that wanted them and unfortunately the day we went there was other guests taking more than 1 mattress each in the sunny spots so others didn't get a look in. The crew tried to resolve it, but the lead guest in question was incredibly rude, but we appreciated the effort!
We also loved the little dog, too cute running around after the captain.
This was booked for us by Ahmet our Love Holidays rep. It was as described very relaxed, clean and well organized. The staff were helpful and made the trip comfortable. The lunch served was substantial and free soft drinks available throughout. Purchased drinks were expensive but thats expected. Altogether an enjoyable relaxing day spent. Everyone aboard seemed to enjoy it.
Alanya is the jewel of Turkey's Turquoise Coast — a sun-drenched Mediterranean resort city perched beneath a dramatic 250-metre promontory crowned by a 13th-century Seljuk castle. Stretching across the eastern Antalya province, it combines 70 kilometres of Blue Flag beaches with rich layers of history: Byzantine ramparts, the iconic Red Tower (Kızıl Kule), Damlataş Cave, and the ancient harbour where Crusader fleets once anchored.
Modern Alanya is a full-spectrum holiday destination. It delivers everything from parasailing and banana boat rides on Cleopatra Beach to white-water rafting on the Dim River, jeep safaris into the Taurus Mountains, and traditional Turkish hammams in the old quarter. Gastronomically, the city blends Anatolian home cooking with fresh Mediterranean seafood caught daily in the harbour. The international airport at Gazipaşa (GZP) — just 45 km east — has made Alanya one of Turkey's fastest-growing year-round destinations, with a lively expat and Scandinavian visitor community extending the season well into November.
Gazipaşa–Alanya Airport (GZP), 45 km east of the city centre, handles direct seasonal flights from Germany, the UK, Scandinavia, and Russia. Antalya Airport (AYT), 135 km west, offers far more year-round connections and is a viable alternative — transfer time is about 2 hours by road or shuttle. Tripventura packages include hotel door-to-door transfers from both airports. InterCity coaches from Istanbul and Ankara also serve Alanya's main bus terminal (otogar) with overnight services.
Alanya's beachfront tram (Alanya Tramvayı) runs the length of Cleopatra Beach — cheap, air-conditioned, and a tourist favourite. Dolmuş (shared minibuses) connect all neighbourhoods for just 10–20 TRY. Taxis are widely available and metered but negotiate for longer rides. Scooter and e-bike rentals cluster near the harbour; they are ideal for exploring the peninsula and castle area. Tripventura day tours provide coach transfers for excursions to the Taurus Mountains and Dim River.
Cleopatra Beach (Kleopatra Plajı) is Alanya's most celebrated strip — turquoise water, Blue Flag certification, and a lively promenade lined with restaurants and bars. The rocky Alanya Peninsula (Kaleiçi) offers boutique hotels with harbour views inside medieval stone walls. Mahmutlar, 12 km east, is popular with long-stay visitors for its apartment-style accommodations and quieter vibe. Budget 4-star all-inclusive hotels start at around €50–80 per night; luxury boutique options in the old town reach €150–250.
Alanya's harbour restaurants serve the freshest catch — sea bass (levrek), red mullet (barbunya), and calamari grilled over charcoal. The old town bazaar is packed with vendors selling taze badem (fresh almonds), pomegranate juice, and köfte sandwiches. Try patlıcan kebabı (aubergine kebab) and midye dolması (stuffed mussels sold from street carts along the promenade). Alanya banana — a GI-protected local variety — is sold everywhere and is sweeter and smaller than typical imports. Budget meals run 80–150 TRY; harbourside seafood 300–600 TRY.
Most non-Turkish visitors (including UK, EU, US, and Canadian citizens) must obtain a Turkish e-Visa before travel. The e-Visa is fast and easy to get online at evisa.gov.tr — cost is approximately $50–60 USD and is valid for 90 days within a 180-day period. Citizens of some countries (including Japan, South Korea) may enter visa-free. Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay. Entry is through immigration at GZP or AYT airports, both with efficient automated e-passport gates.
Pack lightweight, breathable clothing and SPF 50+ — Alanya averages 300 sunny days per year. The pebble sections of some beaches make water shoes a worthwhile addition alongside your flip-flops. Bring a modest cover-up (scarf or light jacket) for visiting the Alanya Castle mosque and bazaar area. For jeep safaris and Dim River canyon activities, wear old clothes and closed-toe shoes. Evenings in shoulder season (May, October) can feel cool, so a light layer is useful. A small daypack is essential for the castle hike.

Avoid common mistakes and travel like a local with these actionable insights.
Alanya Castle is stunning at any hour, but the walk up at golden hour rewards you with panoramic views over the harbour, the Red Tower, and the entire Mediterranean coastline bathed in warm light. The road to the top is steep — take the cable car up and walk down through the old town walls for the best experience. Avoid midday in summer when the sun is brutal.
Alanya's harbour boat tours — which visit Cleopatra Cave, Phosphorus Cave, Lovers Cave, and Pirates Cave — sell out fast in July and August. Book your spot at least 2–3 days in advance through a reputable operator or via Tripventura. Morning departures (9:00 AM) tend to be less crowded and cooler than afternoon sailings.
Dim River (Dim Çayı) canyon, 15 km inland from Alanya, is one of the region's best-kept secrets — a lush gorge with crystal-clear spring water perfect for swimming, kayaking, and riverside dining at the traditional fish restaurants. Combine it with a visit to Dim Cave (Dim Mağarası) for a full-day adventure away from the beach crowds. Most operators run half-day jeep safari combos from the city centre.
Cleopatra Beach (west side) is the postcard-perfect sandy arc — ideal for families and water sports. Damlataş Beach (east of the peninsula) is quieter and better for snorkelling near the cave entrance. Keykubat Beach (further east past the harbour) is less touristy, with calm, shallow water great for children. Each beach has different crowds — explore all three before picking your base.
Turkey's lira can fluctuate significantly. Withdraw Turkish Lira from local ATMs (avoid airport exchange booths) for the best rates. Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants, but many local market vendors and minibus drivers prefer cash. Carry small denominations for beach vendors, dolmuş fares, and tips. Inform your bank before travel to avoid card blocks on foreign transactions.
