The Itinerary in Detail — What You’ll Experience

This tour kicks off with a convenient hotel pickup in Alanya, setting the tone for a hassle-free evening. The first stop is at the “I Love Alanya” viewpoint. Here, you’ll get your first glimpse of the city’s twinkling lights and take some memorable photos. The guide will give a quick briefing, setting the scene for your night ahead.

Next, hop aboard a Land Rover Defender—a rugged vehicle perfectly suited for off-road terrain—and start your scenic drive through the city’s streets and hills. This is where the fun begins, with a 45-minute drive passing by notable sights like Cleopatra Beach and the Red Tower. These landmarks are more than just photo ops; they offer a sense of the city’s history and charm, even if the tour focuses more on entertainment.

The journey then takes you to the Damlatas Caves, where you might enjoy a brief stop for photos and exploration. While not a dedicated cave visit, the caves are part of the scenic route, offering a glimpse into Alanya’s natural formations.

From there, the tour continues to Kizil Kule (Red Tower), one of Alanya’s most iconic landmarks. While the stop here is mainly for photos, it’s worth the visit for its historical significance and panoramic views.

After exploring land-based sights, you’ll head to the Alanya Marina for the highlight of the evening: the boat cruise. This 2-hour coastal trip includes stops for swimming and visiting caves such as the Pirates Cave, Lovers Cave, and Phosphorus Cave. The boat ride is relaxing, with opportunities to cool off and enjoy the sea breeze, and is complemented by live entertainment like dance, foam, and fire shows on board.

Post-cruise, your adventure continues with a scenic drive toward Cikcilli Panorama Point. Here, you’ll enjoy spectacular views and a fireworks display that adds excitement to the night.

The meal itself is a hearty Turkish dinner featuring grilled chicken, served with side dishes, and enjoyed at a lively restaurant where dancers perform traditional belly dancing. The lively atmosphere includes animations, dancing, and even a foam party, making for an energetic and memorable evening.

Finally, the group heads back through lush Oba orange orchards and dusty trails before returning to your hotel, completing a full night of fun.
