The fortress stretches across a large area with well-preserved city walls, watchtowers, cisterns, and historic houses. Inside the castle complex, you can also visit the famous Inner Castle (Ehmedek), the Seljuk-era walls, and nearby landmarks like the Red Tower and shipyard. The views over Cleopatra Beach and Alanya harbor are especially stunning at sunset.

There is an entrance fee for certain sections such as the Inner Castle, and it is usually included in Museum Pass Türkiye. Prices may vary seasonally, so checking updated information before visiting is recommended.

Visitors can reach Alanya Castle by car, taxi, cable car (Alanya Teleferik), or by walking uphill from the town center. The cable car is a popular and scenic option starting near Damlataş Beach. There are cafés, small restaurants, and souvenir shops inside the castle area, making it possible to spend several hours exploring and relaxing.
