An Impression of Alanya City - Turkey
Показать описание
Alanya is a beach resort city and a component district of Antalya Province on the southern coast of Turkey, in the country's Mediterranean Region.
Because of its natural strategic position on a small peninsula into the Mediterranean Sea below the Taurus Mountains, Alanya has been a local stronghold for many Mediterranean-based empires, including the Ptolemaic, Seleucid, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires.
The Mediterranean climate, natural attractions, and historic heritage make Alanya a popular destination for tourism.
The town is divided east–west by a rocky peninsula, which is the distinctive feature of the city.
The city is nearly 99% Muslim, and although many ancient churches can be found in the district, there are no weekly Christian services.
