Alanya is one of the few tourist destinations in the Middle East which is strategically located with the breath-taking Mediterranean sea on one side and the amazing Taurus mountain range on the other.
Alanya boat trips are always a popular choice among tourists because of the endless opportunities for fishing, snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming or simply sun bathing on the boat. There are also several tours worth checking out which take you up close to nature.
One of the most popular Alanya Tours of the region is the Alanya Quad Safari tour. The schedule of the tour is about half a day either in the morning, afternoon or evening. Quad bikes are provided to ride through a 30 km trek in the rugged mountain terrain. This tour is enjoyed by people who want a exciting experience and a rush of adrenalin.
One can also try the Buggy ride which also has the option of two riders in the same cart. The Buggy safari tour is much calmer and smoother than the Quad bikes, and is an excellent way to explore the flora and fauna of the mountain range while riding along the dusty roads. The overall time duration of this tour is 2 to 3 hours.
Last, but not the least, is the Alanya Horse Safari tour through the mountains. The trail of this tour starts on the outskirts of the Seki village which lies next to Alanya. A little before-hand experience of horse riding will make this tour even more enjoyable since it involves almost a 3 hour journey on horse-back. The last destination is the Syedra castle and the city both of which are in ruins now but offer an excellent view of the area from high up.
