Pretzel vendor
by nigelw6443
If you want to grab a quick snack there are always simit vendors available selling fresh simit and Turkish pide bread. Simit by the way is the Turkish version of the pretzel, who knows, what came first the simit or the pretzel? Great bread.
The Road to Alanya Fortress
by H-TownJourneyman
The Alanya Fortress, which is positioned 820 ft. (250 meters) over the town, is definately worth the trek up to the summit. And yet the winding road up to the top can be quite enjoyable in it's own rite, providing many wonderful views of Alanya and the harbor. There are also numerous cafes to stop off at and grab a drink or a bite to eat, as well as many shops selling various trinkets, clothing, and souvenirs. Walking up will usually take about an hour, and while a pleasant walk for most people, some will find it very hard on your feet and knees. If you prefer not to walk and do not have a rental car, it's only a 10 minute taxi ride up. Then you can decide whether to walk back down or not, which is much easier to do then going up! :)
