This gigantic county , soon become a city itself , is the most important touristic center of the Mediterranean region.It will be preferable to take Alanya in two parts as Eski (the Old) and Yeni (the New) Alanya.Eski Alanya was founded on the top and sides of the high peninsula dividing the county into two. As for the castle over viewing the town on both sides, it is probably the most attractive spot. The castle walls going up for 6,5 km to the Inner Castle on the hill was initially built during the Hellenistic period but raised further,fortified and furnished with 110 towers during the Seljukid period. As for Yeni Alanya , it extends towards both the east and west of the peninsula. The beach beginning in Antalya direction and interrupted for a while by the peninsula extends further for many kilometers in Gazipaşa direction. This stretch constitutes the main zone of construction in Alanya.
