The Alanya fortification is huge. It covers much of the hill overlooking the city, and consists of a number of spaces, each surrounded by impressive walls. The main part is on top of the hill, but a considerable and maybe even more impressive stronghold sits lower on the hill to the northwestern side. Adjacent to that there is a small village, which I found to be a charming spot, far “from the madding crowd”.
