Alanya - Demirtas

Here in Demirtas life still takes its unhurried course in the way that made Alanya so popular many years ago. This suburb in east of Alanya center is an absolute insider tip for connoisseurs and nature lovers. In the marvellously green surroundings between the Taurus mountains, which are simply perfect for short walks or long hikes and the extensive unspoilt beach less than 300 m away, you will find a beautiful mixture of an original Turkish village with its typical peace and quiet and some small-scale apartment and villa properties, many of which have new owners from Europe.

The peacefull atmosphere in Demirtas where birdsing and the sound of the waves are the only noises, is priceless. In the winter time and in spring the magical scent of orange blossom permeates the air. Demirtas is balm to the soul of people who need to escape from the busy and stressfull city life.

This locatation is a fantastic compromise if you love the typical Turkish village life but at the same time do not wish to do without the infrastructure of a modern city center with all its services, entertainment and shopping possibilities. Medical facilities in Alanya are also of an international standard and everything is accessible within a short time, even by public transport. Further advantages are the agricultural nature of the environment, and secondly the fact that no house can have more than four storeys. This means that the wonderful sea view which you yourself have from the first floor of your apartment is guaranteed to remain unspoilt for many years to come.

This is also a wonderful place from where it's possible to explore the region away from the coast to the east, with the bustling little town of Gazipasa and an adventurous drive to Anamur, the centre of the vegetable and fruit production of the area with its giant farmers' markets full of life, colours and scents. You can also visit many imposing ruins from Roman and crusader times, sites that you can often explore in your own peace.
