The trip lasts about 5–7 minutes, but the panoramic views make it feel timeless. Tickets can be purchased on-site or online, with options for round trips or one-way rides. The base station is located near Damlataş Beach, making it easy to incorporate a visit after a day of sunbathing or exploring nearby attractions like the Damlataş Cave.
Things to Know Before You Go
To make the most of your visit, plan for early mornings or late afternoons when temperatures are cooler, and crowds are smaller. Wear comfortable shoes if you plan to explore Alanya Castle at the top, as the site involves walking on uneven surfaces. Bring your camera or smartphone to capture the stunning vistas during the ride. Note that the ticket price does not include entry to Alanya Castle, which is a separate charge.
