Alanya Hotels

With its Mediterranean climate and stunning beaches Alanya on the south Turkey coast is a popular destination for sun seekers. It also has a rich history with artefacts dating back 2,500 years from several different empires. Its natural attractions and annual cultural festivals make for an exciting holiday destination.

Choosing an Alanya hotel

From boutique luxury to basic self-catering, there are Alanya hotels to suit all budgets. Whether you want cheap hotels in Alanya or 5-star decadence you'll find you needn't be too far from the beach. Some are so close to the sand that you won't even have to cross a road when you leave the hotel to go sunbathing. Antalya Airport is the closest air link to Alanya but is 75 miles away so expect to transfer for quite a while whichever hotel in Alanya you choose.

When to visit Alanya

Alanya holidays are best enjoyed in the summer months as the weather can get pretty cold between December and March. April to June and September are great times to visit with hot sunny weather but July and August are only for the real sun worshippers as temperatures regularly climb as high as 40°C in the shade. Be aware that cheap hotels in Alanya won't always offer air conditioning and that can make for uncomfortable nights. As there is so much stunning scenery surrounding the area you might want to look into car rental in Alanya in order to see as much as you can. Alanya Castle, the Seljuk era citadel that dates from 1226 is an especially beautiful landmark.
