Such a fun day out with the family on the Alanya Tour from Side! The highlight for us was sailing on the boat - the views of Alanya Castle were breathtaking. Our kids especially loved the Damlataş Cave, they pretended it was a hidden fortress! 😂 Lovely lunch by the river too. Definitely recommend bringing some sunscreen and a hat. It's an adventure that's perfect for families!
