Alanya itself sits at one end of a rocky outcrop between two long sandy beaches. The cafes around the harbour area are a great place to relax and people watch and there are water sport facilities on the world-famous Kleopatra beach. On the road down to the harbour, shoppers will love the selection of boutiques selling clothes, souvenirs and locally made items.
The Primera Hotel is in the centre of Alanya, next to the museum and 600 metres from the beach. This recently renovated (2009) hotel has a total of 80 rooms of which 30 are standard hotel rooms and 50 are apartment style rooms. As well as a swimming pool for adults and a separate pool for children the hotel also has a restaurant and a bar, a Turkish bath, a sauna, billiards, table tennis and a massage service.
