Mahmutlar Area Information
ALANYA (CORACESION)
Alanya is the last major resort on the Turkish Riviera and reached by a scenic road turning north toward the Taurus Mountains and Konya through banana plantations. Alanya’s pride is its sandy beaches and the great fortress that crowns it.
Alanya has grown considerably in the past 20 years. New hotels and apartment blocks line the broad, elegant boulevards running along the sandy beaches stretching on either side of the town. During summer the population nearly doubles and the town turns into a lively colony of predominantly foreign tourists.
History of Alanya
The town did not play an important role in antiquity. At the end of the 2C BC, notorious pirate ruler Diodotus Tryphon made it a base for his slaving activities. In 67 BC Pompey conducted a war on behalf of Rome against piracy on the Mediterranean coast of Anatolia. He completely destroyed the pirate fleet in a naval battle. Mark Antony presented Coracesion as a wedding gift to Cleopatra.
A flight of brick stairs descending the cliffs is said to have been used by Cleopatra to go down for her morning swim. After the Romans and Byzantines. Cilician kings ruled the city for about 150 years. Later the city was ruled by Seljuks. In the Seljuk period the town was renamed as Alaiye to honour the conqueror, and shortly after became the winter residence of the Seljuk sultans. Before the republic period the city was dominated by Ottomans.
The Site
The fortress is 117 m / 384 ft above the sea with medieval walls running 6 km / 3.7 miles around the summit. It was originally established as a smaller pirate fortress on the protected peninsula. It was conquered and destroyed by Pompey in 67 BC.
Alaattin Keykubat captured the fort after a long siege and made Alanya an important naval base. Today’s fine fortifications were built then. Church of St. George is a 6C AD Byzantine building. The platform pinned into the cliff at the edge of the citadel is said to have been the place from where condemned prisoners were hurled to their death.
The enormous dockyards (Tersane) and a defence tower, Kizil Kule (Red Tower) at the harbour contributed to the town’s role as a naval base.
Among many caves the most famous is Damlatas (drop stone) on the western edge of the peninsula. It features an immense cavern with enormous stalactites and stalagmites that slowly continue to grow.
The Mediterranean Coast region
Hot summers and warm winters.
Plenty of places to go and things to see.
Many places to eat, the town of Mahmutlar is not messy and unfinished like some places on the Turkish Riviera, or noisy like Alanya; rather it is the perfect blend of tranquillity, yet with everything at hand, and very clean and tidy.
The beaches are not as crowded as Alanya, and yet still provide loungers and parasols at the many beach bars where you can relax all day. OR perhaps you fancy taking the free bus to one of Alanyas shopping centres and stocking up on food and drink at a fraction of the beach side prices?
