Introduction
Alanya is renowned for being the second home for many Russians, who are attracted by the cheap prices and the fact that it's not far from Russia. The beach in Alanya is good, but also very popular.
Alanya is situated on the Mediteranean coast and enjoys a moderate climate throughout the year. Historically, it was a strategic city for the Ptolemaic, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires.
