Type: Bolge

Coordinates: 36.544443, 31.995408

Description:
Alanya is located on a little peninsula surrounded by the Toros Mountains to its north and by the Mediterranean Sea to its south. Due to its location between Pamphylia and Cilicia, the city was called both Pamphylia and Cilicia in ancient times.

There is no definite information about the first settlement of Alanya. In 1957, Professor Doctor Kilinc KÖKTEN, during the researches made 12 km away from the centre of the city, near the cave of Kadiini, found remains which prove that Alanya’s history can be traced back to the Upper Palaeolithic Era (BC 20.000 – 17.000).
