Paying With a Russian Card in Alanya — Yes, It Works
Heading to Alanya and worried your Russian card might not work? Here's the reassuring news for ordering food and groceries: you can pay by card on delivery — Russian cards included, contactless and all. The driver brings a card terminal to your door, so you simply tap or insert your card when your order arrives. And if you'd rather use cash, that works too. No Turkish app, no Turkish SIM, no problem.
Here's exactly how paying works when you order food or groceries in Alanya.
Yes, your card works on delivery
You've probably read that Russian cards can be hit-and-miss in Turkey — and in some shops that's true. But for delivery with AllInAlanya, it isn't an issue: our drivers carry a card terminal that accepts Russian cards, including contactless. Tap your card or your phone, and you're done. No need to hunt for cash before you can eat.
Card or cash — your choice
You're not locked into one method. When your order arrives you can pay by card (including contactless) or pay in cash — whatever's easier for you that evening. The full price is shown before you confirm the order, so there are never any surprises at the door.
Ordering food and groceries
This is what makes a holiday — or a longer stay — genuinely easier. You browse restaurants and shops in plain English, place your order, and pay the driver however you like on arrival. See food and grocery delivery here.
It's especially handy if you're staying in an apartment in Mahmutlar, Oba or Avsallar and want groceries delivered, or you just don't fancy the hotel buffet again — sushi, döner, burgers and more, paid by card or cash at the door.
Ordering to your hotel
If you're in a hotel, including all-inclusive, delivery is almost always fine — it's brought to reception or you meet the driver at the entrance, and you pay there by card or cash. After a few nights of the same buffet, a fresh sushi set or döner delivered to your room is a welcome change. If there's a specific drop-off point, just tell us on WhatsApp.
How fast is delivery in Alanya?
For central areas — Konaklı, central Alanya, Oba — expect roughly 30–50 minutes depending on the restaurant and how busy the evening is. Further out, like Mahmutlar and Kestel, can take a little longer. Peak time is around 7–9pm, so ordering a bit earlier helps if you're hungry.
