Itinerary
Day 1
Private pick-up in Side, transfer to Alanya Marina, private yacht cruise (~4 hours), then return transfer to Side hotel.
Hotel pick-up and transfer to Alanya Marina
Private, air-conditioned vehicle will collect you from your hotel or chosen location in Side / Manavgat and transfer you to Alanya Marina to meet the yacht.
Tips from local experts:
- Be ready 10 minutes before your confirmed pick-up time; confirm the exact hotel name and meeting point on your voucher.
- Use the restroom and collect any personal items (swimsuit, hat, camera) before boarding the vehicle—the drive to Alanya is typically 45–60 minutes depending on traffic.
- Mobile signal may vary in some resort areas; save the pickup confirmation offline and have the hotel reception aware of your pick-up time.
Private yacht cruise from Alanya Marina — coastal landmarks & caves
Board your private yacht at Alanya Marina. The yacht will cruise along Alanya's Mediterranean coastline with close views of Alanya Castle, Kızılkule (Red Tower), the historic Seljuk shipyard (Tersane), and coastal caves including Pirates' Cave, Lovers' Cave and the Phosphorescent Cave. The route also passes Cleopatra Beach. Time aboard includes cruising, sightseeing stops along the shoreline, and swimming/snorkeling opportunities where conditions and captain approval allow.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring swimwear, a towel and reef-safe sunscreen; soft drinks are included on board and dinner is provided for afternoon departures (alcoholic drinks are excluded).
- Wear flat, non-slip shoes for boarding and follow the crew's safety briefing; caves are viewed from the boat—do not attempt shore access unless crew instructs it's safe.
- Protect cameras from spray and low light in caves; ask the captain for a quiet spot on deck for romantic photos or to enjoy sunset if you choose a later departure.
Return transfer to your hotel in Side
Disembark at Alanya Marina and travel back by private, air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel or chosen drop-off point in Side / Manavgat.
Tips from local experts:
- Expect the return drive to take roughly 45–60 minutes depending on traffic; plan a short rest or freshen-up after disembarking.
- If you require a different drop-off point (e.g., a specific entrance or villa), confirm it with the driver when boarding for the return journey.
- If you feel cold after swimming, bring a light cover-up—sea breezes can feel chilly during the ride back.
