Where to Eat in Türkler, Konaklı & Avsallar

Staying in the resorts west of Alanya and wondering where to eat beyond the hotel buffet? All three of the main areas — Türkler, Konaklı and Avsallar — have local food to discover, though they differ in how much. In short: Konaklı has the most choice thanks to its town centre, Avsallar has a good seafront spread, and Türkler is more resort-focused, so its guests often pop next door or order in. Here's how to eat well wherever you're based.

Türkler: resort-focused, with options nearby

Türkler is dominated by big all-inclusive resorts (including the Eftalia hotels), so it has fewer standalone restaurants than a town like Konaklı. Many guests are all-inclusive and eat mostly at their hotel — but for a change, the easiest moves are a short hop to Konaklı for its town restaurants, into central Alanya for the full choice, or simply ordering food in to your room. The cheap, frequent dolmuş makes nipping out easy. See the Türkler area guide.

Konaklı: the best local choice

Konaklı is the pick of the three for eating out, because it has a proper town centre with a real spread of restaurants, lokantas, cafés and bakeries alongside the hotels. You can easily walk to a local lokanta for a cheap, authentic point-and-choose meal, grab a coffee, or find a sit-down dinner away from the tourist front. If eating out matters to you, Konaklı's mix of resort and town life is ideal. See the Konaklı area guide.

Avsallar & İncekum: seafront eateries

Avsallar has a decent spread of cafés and restaurants, particularly along its seafront, plus local spots in the town. It's relaxed and beach-focused, so you'll find easygoing places for a meal after the beach, and it has its own local centre for everyday eating. See the Avsallar & İncekum guide.

How to find the good local food

Wherever you are, the same rules apply:

• Walk back from the tourist front — better food, better prices.
• Follow the locals — a busy local lokanta is the best sign there is.
• Try the lokanta — point at ready-made dishes, eat cheaply and authentically.
• Check prices first, especially for fish and drinks.

Heading into central Alanya to eat

For the widest choice — Turkish, seafood, international, harbour dining and the buzz — central Alanya is a short, cheap dolmuş or taxi ride from all three resorts. It's a lovely evening out, just plan a taxi back if you're staying late, as the dolmuş thins out at night. See getting from Türkler & Konaklı to Alanya centre and central Alanya.

Or just order in

Some evenings you won't want to go anywhere — and you don't have to. You can have local Turkish food, fast food (McDonald's, Burger King, Domino's), coffee or even a market shop (Migros) delivered straight to your room or apartment in any of the resort areas. It's perfect for a quiet night, tired kids after a beach day, or a cheap, easy break from the buffet. See our delivery service.
