Eski Alanya
was found on the top and sides of the high peninsula
dividing the county into two parts. As for the castle
overviewing the town on both sides, it is probably
the most attractive spot. The castle walls are going
up for 6,5 km to the
top of the Inner Castle which was initially built
during the Hellenistic period but raised futher,
fortified and furnished with 110 towers during the
Seljukid period.
As for Yeni Alanya,
it extends towards the East and West of the peninsula.
The beach begins towards Antalya
and interrupts for a while by the peninsula. It
extends further f.or many kilometers towards Gazipapa.
This strech constitutes the main zone of construction
in Alanya. |
