Kleopatra Beach

Kleopatra/ Damlatas beach is situated on the western side of the peninsula which splits Alanya into two. The beach is said to be Alanya’s best. The sand is finer and there are not many rocks or stones but the water does deepen more quickly than at the eastern beach.

When Queen Kleopatra of Egypt was given the area around Alanya as a present from the Roman general Antony, she bathed at the foot of the cliff every day. Originally there was a tunnel, leading from the castle directly to her private beach, through which she was carried whenever she wanted to swim.

The 3.5 kilometre long beach is also known as Damlatas beach because of the Damlatas dripstone cave on the western side of the peninsula discovered in 1948. Today the cave is one of Alanya’s many tourist attractions.

Alanya-Turkey: News-Places-To Do. #1

Taurus Mountains

Immediately behind Alanya the Taurus Mountains rise to a peak of 3,500 metres. The highest mountain nearest to Alanya at 1,649 metres is the Cebelireis east of the town.

The deciduous and coniferous trees, deep valleys, mountain streams and waterfalls make the Taurus Mountains an incomparable site of natural beauty. Melting snow feeds the rivers and streams till mid June.

Behind Alanya a road leads to the Türktas plateau (known as Yayla in Turkish). In the summertime the rich Alanya people, and now more and more foreigners, try to escape from the heat of the town to their luxury villas. During the weekend many local families enjoy having a barbecue in the forest shade. Nowadays the old Turkmen resting and picnic areas are adapted to restaurants.

A bit further away from Alanya are the uplands where every spring, just like centuries ago, whole villages pack up and move from the valleys to the mountain tops. There on the plateau, at approximately 1,000 metres, they breed goats and produce butter and cheese as well as carpets and tapestries. These carpets are knotted as in the olden days. Instead of the usual nomad tents small compact houses are used which are easy to lock up in autumn and left deserted during the winter.

The Taurus Mountains are of course also popular with tourists! Village tours show the interested visitors the natural beauty of the area and bring them closer to Turkish culture. Jeep or Quad safaris and Enduro tours are a favourite with the more adventurous traveller!

One of the most popular attractions with tourists and locals alike is the charming fish restaurants scattered along the mountain streams. Tables and chairs are placed in the cool clear water. Guests are able to eat wonderful fresh trout whilst their feet are soaking in the stream!

There are many alternatives in the northern surroundings for those who find the weather too hot or are bored by the beaches of Alanya.

Buying Property in Turkey

Turkey Property Buying Information:

The property market in Turkey offers great value for money. It is a popular location amongst international real estate investors and home buyers alike. Turkey has been highly sought after as a holiday destination for a long time with around 25 million tourists flocking to the stunning beaches along the Turkish coast each year. The beautiful climate and exotic quality of life help to make Turkey a location that is much in demand.

The profile of Turkey has been greatly improved due to a large increase in media exposure, Turkey property is in great demand and Turkey itself is at the start of a predicted property boom. Turkey’s current status as a candidate for membership of the EU with likely inclusion as a full member in the near future has added to the overwhelming interest in properties in Turkey.

Turkish property still offers enormous potential for returns on investment. Last year alone, property prices rose by around 50% with more people looking to purchase homes in Turkey. This extra demand is set to push prices up drastically.

Taking into consideration the country's many attributes, Turkey can hardly be rivaled in any other investment location with similar assets.
