From Turkler to Alanya harbour
The pirate boat leaves from Alanya harbour, because the best part of the route – the Red Tower, the old Seljuk shipyard and the sea caves – lies around the castle peninsula. Our minibus collects you at 08:35 from hotels in the Lonicera, Green Fugla and Adin area and at 08:45 in the Senza, Eftalia and Long Beach area. It follows the coast road through Payallar, Konakli and the tunnels, picking up other guests on the way, and reaches the harbour in about an hour; the boat casts off at around 10:00.
On board the day runs at an easy pace: a first swim below the castle walls, the Pirates’ Cave, the Lovers’ Cave and the Phosphorescent Cave, then lunch and more swim stops. In the afternoon the foam party starts off Ulaş Beach, and soft drinks are included all day. The boat is back in the harbour at around 14:30 and the minibus drops you at your hotel in Turkler in the afternoon.
