Come bask in the sun and sand in Alanya, where memorable Mediterranean experiences meet ancient wonders along the spectacular Turkish coastline. Experience coastal paradise; your perfect getaway combines relaxation and adventure in a hidden gem.

A stay at Paradiso Apartments gives you an authentic Turkish experience, balanced with modern conveniences. Splash around the seasonal outdoor pool, then take a relaxed stroll through the sustainable garden area of the property that becomes your personal oasis after days of exploration.

When you leave this coastal paradise, the treasures of Alanya literally await at your doorstep. Within a matter of a few minutes’ drive, you can channel your inner nostalgia visiting the Alanya Lighthouse, that stands over azure waters and perhaps reminisce near a cute café, where your “immediate needs” can be satisfied. If history is your thing, begin your nostalgic explorations at Kizil Kule (Red Tower) built in crimson red brick, or the commanding Alanya Castle at the end of the peninsula.

Anyone who enjoys sunbathing will want to visit the legendary Cleopatra Beach (fabled to be a gift from Mark Antony to the Egyptian queen), which features tanning opportunities and chances to swim in crystal waters, leisurely extend the trip less than 7 km from the confines of your accommodation. If you are planning on peeling yourself away from the beach and sunbathing, a little exploration can take you and the second thing on the ‘must-see’ list: the mystique and allure of the Damlatas Caves, which has a microclimate with health benefits.

With the concierge services provided by your accommodation, excursions require a tiny bit of planning. Illicit outdoor adventure with immediate access to stunning coastal paths is assured, and if you need assistance buying tickets for water slides nearby (Alanya Aquapark), it’s all seamlessly organised in traditional Turkish hospitality.

If you visit on weekends, expect weekends to be a little cultural journey, with the Alanya Archaeological Museum showcasing the region’s rich historical heritage. If you are eager to shop, try Time Center Outlet for authentic Turkish treasures to bring home.

For those a little more ambitious, discover the ancient city of Side, and Temple of Apollo just over an hour from Alanya or witness, Manavgat Falls, a natural wonder and selfie opportunity that also lends itself to day trips.

Each evening bring back memories, and perhaps plump for a true review of your coastal past from your holiday retreat that offers free parking close by and 24 hour reception that keeps things easy from the moment you arrive until you depart. Low-rise apartment blocks, no elevators, authentic architecture, charming and traditional – icing on the cake.

The memories of your Turkish Riviera escape will be sun-soaked, cultural adventures, seaside bliss, and times of your life will be front of mind, and dreams of your next perfectly located Alanya home-away-from-home will leave the worries behind.
