- Use the local 'dolmuş' minibuses for a cheap and straightforward trip into bustling Alanya.
- Explore the foothills of the Taurus Mountains directly behind the town for cooler air and great views.
- Many local vendors accept Euros, but paying in Turkish Lira usually gets you a better exchange rate.
