Old Town
Alanya's somewhat rambling Old Town dating from Seljuk and Ottoman times lies sandwiched between the lower and middle (south) walls of the fortress on the eastern slopes of the promontory. The fortress itself stands on even more ancient foundations. The more modern town extends along the shore northeast of the promontory, ending among fruit orchards..

Anamur
Anamur lies on the east side of the cape, at the foot of the Taurus mountains about 4km/2.5mi upstream from the mouth of the Sultan Suyu. 7km/4.5mi further on, beyond the turn-off to Ermenek, Anamur Castle (Anamur Kalesi, Mamure Kalesi), makes an imposing sight on a headland jutting into the sea. The fortress was one of the most notorious and feared of corsair strongholds in the early Middle Ages and was subsequently enlarged and strengthened by the Crusaders.

Citadel Hill
A road winding its way through the Old Town of Alanya climbs the citadel hill (250m/820ft) to the courtyard of the upper fortress, at the north end of which stands the castle mosque (Kale Camii). In the same courtyard are a ruined cruciform Byzantine church and, at the southern end, a lighthouse erected in 1720. Adjoining the west wall is the citadel proper, in a good state of repair. It affords superb panoramic views over the Mediterranean coastal plain, taking in the scattered houses of Alanya, the fruit orchards and the Ak Dagi Massif.
