Alanya City Tips 2 - Where to Visit

The main place to visit is Alanya Castle. It is very easy to reach from city center (centrum). You can go by bus or on foot.

By bus: You can go on bus No. 4. from city center
On foot: You can go trough Işkele Cad. then up to Tophane mah. Walk through the narrow streets that seems like labyrinth. Be careful that you might be lost in there :D But it is fun.

My suggestion:
Going there by bus No. 4. Going back on foot through the labyrinth of Tophane (Tophane mah.)
