The sun leans toward the Mediterranean and Alanya's red roofs glow as your 4x4 rolls away from the seafront. Salt air tugs at your sleeves on the drive to Cleopatra Beach, where the sand is still warm and the sea seems to push you toward the horizon. From there the day moves inland: a quick cable car lift, the castle rising around you like a layered history, then a dusk 4x4 climb into the Taurus where headlamps and city lights trade places.
