Getting there could be a bit difficult if you don't have a car, get ready to walk a lot high hill though I wouldn't recommed to visit if you have a physical impair. Once you're there, you will enjoy of the panoramic, the whole city of Alanya and this ancient fortress.

It is a taxi ride up to the castle as it is way too far to walk and then the castle is just ruins. Bodrum castle was 100 times better

Really nice as a day excursion, for both family and friens. The view is beautiful. I will recommend to take a taxi, as the road up is very long. If you fancy some walking, then you can walk down :)

Not my type of thing and I didn't like the local trying to sell me rubbish that I didn't need... But if you like castle and stuff like that, then this might be for you.

We had a great day at the Castle and enjoyed it a lot. Taxi from near the Hotel and walked back down to the town. If you want to do this ask the driver for one way only (they charge for both ways and wait). Good to time it so you start walking back down about lunch time, as there... More
