- Julia1972Moscow, Russia1,789 contributionsThe Red Tower (Kızıl Kule) at the foot of the mountain is one of the components of the fortress. It is impossible to miss or miss her – she is a symbol of the city. Red-brick octagonal structure with elaborate internal crossings, fighter windows, large courtyard. It's worth climbing for the stunning views from the slaughterhouses. But it's actually interesting inside, if you like this kind of structure, and climbing steep narrow stairs with high steps. Inside is an exhibition of strangely slightly surreal drawings - symbols of the city.Visited January 2025Traveled with friendsWritten March 9, 2025

Wear comfortable shoes not slippers and price are adorable. Bring some water and snacks if you stay longer as you can be till 5:30 in the evening.Visited September 2024Traveled soloWritten September 12, 2024
- kevinpat968London, United Kingdom54 contributionsWe missed this place after going to the castle and walking down to the dockyard. We returned to see it and we were pleased that we did. An interesting octagonal structure built to last! There are some lovely views from the top, and it improved our step count going up the many steps!Visited October 2024Traveled with familyWritten October 21, 2024

The Red Tower is really nice to visit, I personally liked the most that you can walk along the walls that lead to the tower from the fortress (a small part) because it is impossible on the fortress itself. It has a couple of floors, the stairs are quite steep so I would not recommend people who have difficulty moving to climb the floors. People who go with small children are best to have a scarf or stretcher attached to their chest to make it easier to move. The view from the fortress itself on the harbor and the shipyard is very beautiful. The ticket is 10tl per person, but if you buy it complete with a ticket for the shipyard, there are 15tl together.

The Red Tower is set just beneath the Alanya Castle and hill, by the old port.
As the rest of the Castle it was built by Seljuks during the 13 c when they conquered the area. It's an octagonal brick structure with a small museum inside.
You can admire the tower for free from very close, but it's best to buy a combo ticket which also includes the Damlatas cave and the old shipyard.

Very nice medieval tower.
A lot of steps, so make sure your Fitbit is on.
A very interesting structure. The method of cooling and controlling airflow is impressive.
Take your time and look through each of the arrow slits on each level. The offer good views.
If you time it well, the views from the top while the convoy of pirate ships heads out is quite the eyeful.

The Red Tower is located at the end of the harbour, just up from the jetty.
The opening hours where 9.00 am - 19.00 pm in the summer.
Entrance fee was 7 TL or 10 TL with the Shipyard or 14 TL with Shipyard & Damlatas cave.
Four floors to visit, plus the turret with fantastic views at the top.
As this is a medieval tower, there are lots of steep ,narrow, steps to climb, so not suitable for people with disabilities, or small children.
Displays, models, old photos, on each floor.
A must do, is on the second floor, walk out onto the old walls, the only way you can access it, again great views, but a lot of people miss it.

Beautiful historical place. Limited explanation, but nice to visit. No guides or anything available (I guess
Being nice). Given the low price, it is nice to visit in combination with the walls of the castle (which are free). Just have a snack or drink in one of the gardens along the wall and you have a fun activity

I could'n be more surprised when I went in to the Red tower. With skilful lighting and all those arches I felt like I'd been in a cathedral or is some other holy place. There was quiet so it was easy to relax, enjoy the atmosphere and forget everything else. In a first floor I felt like I was in an other world and could spend there hours. NExt floors up where also surprise, especially if you have never been in a place like this. If you want to go also to the upper floors and enjoy all views and details you need to climb very old and steep stone stairs and have enough power to do it, but it is definietly woth of it. This has been one of the biggest surprises here in Alanya, and I recommend to visit with time and with camera.

Took a taxi here with a 6 year old, and a 9 year old. Kids had an amazing time. It’s tough going up the stairs but we had good shoes so it was ok for us. The views are amazing as well as the tower. It’s in great shape.

I liked the red tower even though it's not much compared to the rest of Turkey's sites. It too offered a nice view of the sea and we enjoyed climbing the winding steps to the top floor. It is empty inside though, except for some interesting wooden doors leaned against one wall. Allow 30 minutes here

More interesting than it looks from the outside. We got a combined ticket for the tower, the ancient shipyard and the caves. Cost about £3.50 for all 3 venues.

Beautiful architecture and wonderful views, very hilly and steep though, so not really suitable for older people or disabled
