Alanya is one of our favourite places in Turkey. In this photo taken in 2006, you can see the harbour with the gulets, the boats that take you out for the day to swim in the sea. In the background are the mountains that frame the harbour and the city itself. When we first visited Alanya in 1988, the Mediterranean coast of Turkey had not yet become a major tourist destination. In 2001, we spent several days here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Swimming at our hotel on Cleopatra Beach was wonderful, and almost every night we ate sea bream or sea bass. These were very small - one fish enough for only one person - causing us to wonder how soon the sea would be fished out.
