Why we expect this today
- Germany school holidays
How to avoid the worst of it today
- Alanya Castle Before 10:00 Take the first cable car up; by noon the ramparts are hot and slow.
- The Dim River Midday The promenade and the bazaar are slowest in the heat, and the river platforms stay cool.
- The old harbour Evening The Red Tower and the quay are at their best at sunset, and boats leave from here.
Where the crowds are
- The cable car & summit viewpoints: The one genuine wait in town, concentrated late morning to mid-afternoon.
- The harbor promenade: Packed every night in season; that is what people come for.
Quiet places in Alanya
- The Dim valley: River platforms and the cave, ten minutes into the hills and several degrees cooler.
- The far ends of Cleopatra Beach: Five minutes' walk from the main access points buys real space.
