Alanya’s beaches are long, varied and mostly Blue Flag. As you move freely between beaches by rental car, knowing the right parking spots saves you time and stress.

Popular beaches

Cleopatra Beach (centre, fine sand), Keykubat Beach (east, calmer), Portakal/İncekum (west, ideal for families) and the Mahmutlar beaches in the east. Each offers a different atmosphere.

Parking tips

At central beaches (especially Cleopatra) parking gets hard on summer afternoons; going early is best. In Mahmutlar and Keykubat parking is more relaxed. Some beach venues offer guest parking.

Which car?

For parking in narrow coastal streets, an economy/compact car is ideal. With lots of beach gear, choose a bit more boot space. Pay on pickup, no credit card needed.
