July 16, 2015 Alanya, Turkey- a resort on the turquoise coast

Today is our first of three ports on the Turquoise Coast of Turkey.

Alanya is a beach resort city on the southern coast of Turkey. Our ship was able to dock in the center of the city and we were able to walk off and go to the seaside promenade.
The ship's information said that this is a easy city to walk and has many businesses and shops.
We hiked up a road to get to the central shopping area and found it to be like a giant Kusadasi- tents over the streets and lots of shops with different types of merchandise from clothing to touristic items.

After walking around for a while we found a Starbucks to stop and rest. The weather was sunny, hot and HUMID. We got a cold drink, logged into the wifi to check emails and posted some photos on Facebook and emailed home.
After our respite, we continued walking around we discovered a path to the promenade. On the way down to the promenade we stopped at a local Kebab restaurant and had Kabobs, fries and cokes for lunch.

After lunch we proceeded to go to the seaside to walk back to the pier and ship. We stopped along the way to take some photos and window shop.

Once back on ship we headed for the ice cream counter for some ice cream to cool us off.
