Alanya

A sunny Mediterranean resort below a dramatic castle peninsula, with turquoise bays and long sandy beaches.

Destination story

A place with its own rhythm.

Alanya sits on the Turkish Riviera, where a rocky peninsula topped by a Seljuk castle rises above the sea. The iconic Red Tower guards the harbour, while Cleopatra Beach and the Taurus Mountains create a postcard setting.

For WOFA participants, Alanya combines a warm festival atmosphere with sea, sunshine and history. Groups can perform for international audiences and enjoy boat trips, caves and mountain excursions between events.
