Alanya, in the south of Turkey, is one of the most beautiful cities on the Riviera on the so-called ;blue coloured coast. It lies in front of the mountains with red earth, surrounded by two large sandy beaches and beach promenades with hotels, bars, cafes and restaurants. History tells, that Queen Cleopatra also liked to walk on the sand and to swim in the blue ocean. Therefore the Roman Antonius gave her Alanya as a present.
