More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the cable car cabin as the coastline unspools beneath you — a ribbon of blue, red-tiled roofs and the fortress silhouette of Alanya rising from limestone. The car climbs on a quiet wire, pine-scented breezes pushing at the cabin, and the city shrinks into the harbor and beaches that have shaped the Riviera’s life for centuries.
