by ricky52 about Sand Cafe

It is a local restaurant with breath taking views.
I suspect that not many tourist visit the Sand Cafe, unless they are walking to see the castle. We only had drinks here.
We did look at the menu and found the prices to be a lot cheaper here, than down in Alanya.

Alanya side trips.

"Alanya Bazaar and Harbour area."

There are lots of small 14-30 passenger buses shared by tourists and locals to
get around cheaply. No need to rent a car, the stress of driving in the fast moving traffic is not worth it, not to mention the hassle of finding parking space.
The Bazaar and market covers a huge area with all types of merchandise available. Prices depend upon your ability to bargain in a friendly way.
Every merchant wants to know where you are from. Turkish people are very friendly. I found that it is best to spend a minute and talk to them, tell them where you are from, be friendly and then you can leave without buying and not feel that you have offended them.
