Türkler: A Guide to the Resort & Area

Türkler is the heart of Alanya's big-resort belt — and the area many British holidaymakers know best, as it's home to the Eftalia hotels. Sitting on the coast between Konaklı and Avsallar, roughly 15–20 km west of central Alanya, Türkler is all about large, modern all-inclusive resorts and holiday villages: extensive pools, water slides, entertainment and beachfront, with everything geared to a relaxed, sorted family holiday. Here's the full guide to the area.

Where is Türkler?

Türkler is a resort area on the coast in the Alanya district, between Konaklı and Avsallar, around 15–20 km west of central Alanya. It runs along the main coast road, so the neighbouring resorts and the centre of Alanya are all easily reached by dolmuş or taxi.

The vibe: big resorts, sorted holidays

Türkler's character is defined by its large all-inclusive resorts and self-contained holiday villages. These are designed to be your whole holiday — multiple pools, water slides, daily activities and entertainment, kids' clubs, a choice of restaurants and direct beach access — so many guests happily spend most of their stay within the resort. It's relaxed, family-focused, and a world away from a busy town centre. If your idea of a holiday is checking in, being looked after, and not having to think about logistics, Türkler delivers.

The Eftalia connection

Türkler is where the Eftalia hotels are based, which is a big reason the area is so popular with UK visitors — it has the highest concentration of British holidaymakers among the western resorts. If you're booked into an Eftalia, this is your area, and you'll find plenty of familiar British company alongside other nationalities.

The beach

Türkler's beaches are mostly attached to its resorts, with that direct-from-the-pool-to-the-sea convenience the big hotels are built around. Beach access is generally free, and sunloungers and parasols are typically provided for guests by the resorts that run their own beach sections (worth confirming with your hotel).

Outside the hotels

Being resort-focused, Türkler has less of a standalone town centre than neighbouring Konaklı — so for a big shopping trip, a bazaar browse or lots of off-site dining, you'll likely hop to Konaklı (the nearest town with malls and shops) or into Alanya centre. The upside of that is peace and quiet at your base; the trade-off is you'll travel a little for variety. The cheap, frequent dolmuş makes this easy — see getting from Türkler & Konaklı to Alanya centre.

What to do in & around Türkler

• Resort life — pools, slides, beach and entertainment, the main event for most.
• Nearby Konaklı — shops, malls and a bazaar a short ride away.
• Avsallar & İncekum — the lovely sandy family beach next door.
• Central Alanya — castle, harbour, Kleopatra Beach and nightlife.
• Excursions — boat trips, Dim Cave, Side and more; browse excursions.

Getting there

Türkler is around 1–1.5 hours from Antalya Airport (a little closer than central Alanya), and further from Gazipaşa. After a flight, a pre-booked transfer straight to your resort is the easiest arrival — a named driver, no taxi haggling, door to door. See airport-to-hotel options.

Who Türkler suits

• Great for: families and couples wanting a big all-inclusive resort holiday; anyone happy to base themselves at the hotel; Eftalia guests; those who prize calm over a busy town.
• Less ideal for: visitors who want shops and a town on foot (Konaklı suits better) or nightlife and sights on the doorstep (central Alanya).
