About Okurcalar
Okurcalar is the insider tip on the Turkish Riviera for those who want to experience all-inclusive vacations at their best - far from the mass tourism of the large coastal cities, surrounded by banana plantations and pine forests, with a long, quiet beach and resorts that anticipate every wish. The small village between Alanya and Side has established itself as an oasis of tranquility where one can simply let oneself drift. The beach of Okurcalar stretches for several kilometers with a mix of sand and fine pebbles, lined with lush green vegetation that gives the coast an almost tropical character. The water is clear and clean, the entry is mostly shallow, and the sheltered location ensures calm seas. Most resorts have their own beach sections with sunbeds, umbrellas, and beach service, allowing you to spend the whole day by the sea without having to worry about anything. The all-inclusive resorts in Okurcalar are among the best in the region. Large pool landscapes, water slides, spa areas, sports facilities, and a culinary offering ranging from Turkish home cooking to Italian cuisine to fresh grill specialties leave nothing to be desired. Many facilities also offer extensive children's programs and entertainment options, making Okurcalar a top family destination. For excursions, the surroundings offer quite a bit: The Sapadere Canyon with its crystal-clear mountain stream is a natural experience, the ancient city of Syedra sits on a hill overlooking the sea, and the Dim Cave impresses with underground lakes. Alanya with its Seljuk fortress and colorful bazaar is only 30 minutes away. Gazipasa-Alanya Airport is about an hour to the east, while the larger Antalya Airport is around two hours to the west.
