Hotel Location
The Goldcity Tourism Complex, Turkey, has an enviable location in the vibrant, tourist-friendly city of Alanya. Set upon a hilltop, the complex provides panoramic views of the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. The Goldcity Tourism Complex provides a tranquil and serene setting - perfect for a relaxing holiday, with the surrounding area below the hilltop providing plenty of excitement and entertainment.
Shopping in Alanya is often a case of getting the best price by haggling, a popular tradition in Turkey and there are an excellent range of shops including jewellery stores, leather goods, clothing stores and a local market, where if you are patient you can expect to bargain prices down to as much as 50%
.
There are a large number of restaurants, taverns and fast food outlets to choose from, serving a wide range of cuisine that will cater to almost everyone’s taste ranging from traditional Turkish dishes such as Ottoman Stew to typical British outlets and larger fast food franchises such as McDonalds
.
The nightlife is a quieter sort than you might find in some of the other popular destinations; it is mostly centred around the city’s harbour with a few of the popular bars tucked away down side streets, most of which close fairly early. For more serious night people there is also the large Auditorium venue a bit away from the city, and more traditional entertainment to enjoy includes belly dancing, fire shows and traditional music.
There are also many interesting sites to be found in the city and nearby including the medieval Alanya Castle, the remains of the Seljuk village, the Red Tower and the Damlatas Caves. There are some great beaches nearby providing great spots for swimming or sunbathing and plenty of activities to try including water sports, golf, mountain biking, boat trips to explore the caves and a water park nearby.
