The 12 Best Alanya Day Trips from Side

12 reviewed

The castle on its headland, the caves under it and a boat around the harbour make Alanya the coast’s most complete day out. These are the best Alanya day trips from Side: which combine the fortress, the boat cruise and Damlataş cave, how long the coastal drive takes, and what each one costs with lunch.

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 112 reviews · 9 hours · from $41Our pick

A 9-hour Alanya guided day trip from Side with panoramic castle views, Damlatas Cave, a 1-hour boat loop, and lunch by Dimcay River.

“The trip was ok, but the extra money for the cave wasn't worth it. The booking guide says it is 2 Euros, but the guide charged me 5 Euros, there is only one cave to see, and it can be done in less than 5 minutes. The lunch was a standard buffet grilled chicken with salad, pasta and rice, but the drinks were quite expensive at 6 Euros for one beer compared to the 4.5 Euros I paid in town. The boat trip was an hour, and basically, we went out of the harbour, round the point and back. The crew tried to make it fun. I thought this was…”

Small-group minibus day trip from Side: Sapadere Canyon waterfalls, lunch included, and stops in Alanya, Manavgat, and Side.

“The tour itself was great and the canyon was beautiful. Lunch was tasty and at a really lovely location. The guide however was non-existent! He gave no information at any of our stops and nothing was said about the tour itinerary - he might as well not even been there. We used the same company for a different tour and the guide was a lot better so maybe it depends on the trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 37 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $41

Side-to-Alanya day trip with a 1-hour coast cruise, Red Tower and Dimcay River lunch, Damlatas Cave option, plus city viewpoints and harbor stops.

“This is definitely not an Alanya sightseeing tour. I chose not to book tour with cable car, but this tour simply took you to the cable car where you could pay to go on car. I have a fear of heights so our option was to " hang around " for 2 hours. Next stop lunch in valley, ok food but nothing to see. Then 1 hour shopping stop followed by 1 hour ok boat trip. Then transfer home. No tour or sightseeing of Alanya. Mini bus was clean but air conditioning hardly effective, everyone sweltering on board.”

“Although our tour guild was very friendly and good, the trip itself was very long and drawn out you are on the bus along time,And we realised that if we had paid ourself to go in the dwaf cave which is an added extra would have been cheaper (tour guide charged use €2) each it would have been €2 for all of use if we paid ourself so please bear that in mind, he also suggested the in alanya it would be better if we all went on the cable car at €10 each we declined as we had a very tired 3year old, so we stayed in alanya for…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 11 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $54

Side to Alanya day trip with a coastal boat ride, included lunch, Dimçay river time, and panoramic castle views in about 10 hours.

“The tour was very heavily catered for Germans, meaning that often the tour guide forgot to translate into English. The tour itself was very below average and we did not get a lot of information on the actual history of Alanya. The town is a very nice place but unfortunately we spent most of our time at the markets or on a boat ‘tour’, whilst the tour guide did nothing. We had to pay to see the interesting sites of the city, which is not a problem, but had very limited time to see the sites. I am not sure what I actually paid for for this tour. The day…”
