Okurcalar

Okurcalar is a popular holiday resort on the Mediterranean coast, west of Alanya, along the Antalya–Alanya coastal route. The area is part of Alanya and is particularly known for its large all-inclusive resorts and beachfront hotels. Its location provides convenient access to day trips and activities in both the Alanya and Manavgat–Side directions.

During your holiday in Okurcalar, you can join Green Canyon and Green Lake boat trips, Alanya Jeep Safari tours, rafting, rafting + zipline, rafting + zipline + buggy safari, 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 adventure tours, Alanya boat trips and pirate boat tours, dolphin shows, Suluada boat trips – often searched for as the Turkish Maldives – and trips to The Land of Legends Theme Park & Aqua Park.

When you select your hotel in Okurcalar on TOURSUA, you can see the tours available from your hotel, the actual tour calendar and current prices. Dates when a tour does not operate cannot be selected. If a tour has two or more sessions on the same day, the available sessions are displayed separately, together with the hotel pickup time and pickup point for the session you choose.

WHAT IS OKURCALAR LIKE FOR A HOLIDAY?

Okurcalar is particularly popular with travellers looking for an all-inclusive resort holiday. Large properties such as Delphin Botanik, Granada Luxury Okurcalar, Orange County Alanya, Kirman Leodikya and Justiniano Club Alanya are among the hotels that shape the resort character of the area.

Okurcalar should not be thought of as a busy city centre like central Alanya. Much of the holiday experience revolves around the beachfront hotels and resort complexes. However, the area is not made up entirely of hotels; there are also local residential areas, shops, supermarkets and shopping areas.

Another advantage of staying in Okurcalar is its location. Alanya is in one direction, while Manavgat and Side are in the other. This makes Okurcalar a practical base for travellers who want to explore different parts of the region during their holiday.

SHOPPING AND DAILY LIFE IN OKURCALAR

Although Okurcalar is dominated by large resorts, you do not have to spend your entire holiday inside your hotel. There are shopping areas, supermarkets, shops and businesses for everyday needs.

One of the best-known shopping areas for tourists is around Alara Grand Bazaar. A number of Okurcalar's large resort hotels are also located around the Alara tourism area.

Okurcalar therefore does not have the same busy urban atmosphere as central Alanya or Avsallar, but it is more than simply a collection of resort hotels.

ALARA HAN AND OKURCALAR

One of the most important historical sites near Okurcalar is Alara Han.

Located beside the Alara River, Alara Han was built in 1231–1232 during the reign of Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I.

The historic caravanserai is an important reminder that the Okurcalar area offers more than modern resorts and beaches.

GREEN CANYON AND GREEN LAKE TOURS FROM OKURCALAR

You can join Green Canyon and Green Lake tours from Okurcalar.

Green Canyon is one of the best-known nature and boat trip destinations in the Taurus Mountains near Manavgat. Depending on the Green Canyon tour you choose, the programme can include a canyon boat cruise, swimming stops and other activities.

Green Canyon boat trips and Green Lake tours do not necessarily have the same itinerary. On TOURSUA, you can see the programme, included services, price, available dates and pickup time from your hotel in Okurcalar before booking.

JEEP SAFARI FROM OKURCALAR – ALANYA JEEP SAFARI

If you are staying in Okurcalar, you can join an Alanya Jeep Safari.

Jeep safari tours are a popular way to explore the countryside and mountain landscapes beyond Alanya's coastal resorts. Village roads, mountain scenery and off-road driving form the main character of the experience.

The fact that a tour is called “Alanya Jeep Safari” does not mean that you need to stay in Alanya city centre. Select your Okurcalar hotel on TOURSUA and you can see the available Jeep Safari dates, current price and pickup time from your hotel.

RAFTING, ZIPLINE AND BUGGY SAFARI FROM OKURCALAR

SULUADA BOAT TRIP FROM OKURCALAR – TURKISH MALDIVES

You can join a Suluada boat trip from Okurcalar.

Suluada Island is known for its clear turquoise water and swimming stops and is frequently described or searched for by international visitors as the Turkish Maldives, Maldives of Turkey or Suluada Island boat trip.

Suluada is not close to Okurcalar. Guests joining from Okurcalar have a long road transfer to the boat departure point, making this a long full-day trip. Families with young children and travellers who prefer to avoid long transfers should therefore consider their hotel pickup and expected return times before booking.

THE LAND OF LEGENDS THEME PARK & AQUA PARK FROM OKURCALAR

The Land of Legends combines a theme park, water park, water slides, pools and numerous attractions in one large entertainment complex. It is particularly popular with families with children and visitors looking for a full-day water park or theme park experience.

Belek is not close to Okurcalar, so this should be considered a long full-day trip. On TOURSUA, you can see the available Land of Legends tour dates, current price and pickup time from your hotel in Okurcalar.

GETTING FROM OKURCALAR TO ALANYA, MANAVGAT AND SIDE

Okurcalar belongs to the Alanya district and is located west of Alanya. Because of its position, Alanya city centre lies in one direction, while Manavgat and Side are in the other.

Towards Alanya, places you can visit independently include Cleopatra Beach, Alanya Castle, Damlataş Cave, the cable car, harbour and city centre. In the Side–Manavgat direction, Side Ancient City, Side Old Town and the Manavgat area are among the main places you can explore independently during your holiday.

Hotels in Okurcalar are spread across different parts of the area, so it is more useful to consider the exact location of your hotel than to give one fixed travel time for the entire region.

TRANSFER FROM ANTALYA AIRPORT TO OKURCALAR

Many international visitors staying in Okurcalar arrive through Antalya Airport. The distance between Antalya Airport and Okurcalar is approximately 90–95 km.

Shared airport transfers can take longer because of stops at other hotels. With a private transfer, you travel directly from Antalya Airport to your hotel or specified accommodation in Okurcalar.

WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN YOU SELECT YOUR OKURCALAR HOTEL ON TOURSUA?

TOURSUA does not simply provide general information saying that a particular tour is available from Okurcalar.

When you select your hotel in Okurcalar, you see the tours available from that specific hotel. The actual operating calendar is built into the system, so dates on which a tour does not operate cannot be selected.

If a tour has two or more sessions on the same day, each available session is shown separately. If the hotel pickup time changes according to the selected date or session, TOURSUA displays the pickup time for that specific session and hotel.

The aim is for a visitor staying in Okurcalar to find not only tours but also different local services they may need during their holiday in their own language.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

IS OKURCALAR PART OF ALANYA?

Yes. Okurcalar is part of the Alanya district in Antalya. Its location west of Alanya also places it closer to the Manavgat and Side direction than many other Alanya resort areas.

CAN I JOIN TOURS FROM MY HOTEL IN OKURCALAR?

Yes. When you select your hotel in Okurcalar on TOURSUA, you see the tours available from your hotel. After selecting the tour date and, where applicable, the session, the system displays your hotel pickup time and pickup point.

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH DAYS A TOUR OPERATES?

You do not need to rely on a fixed list such as “Monday, Wednesday and Friday.” The actual operating dates are shown in the TOURSUA booking calendar. Dates when the tour does not operate cannot be selected.

WHAT IF THE SAME TOUR HAS MORE THAN ONE SESSION PER DAY?

Each session can have its own hotel pickup schedule. When you select your tour and session, TOURSUA shows the pickup time for your selected hotel in Okurcalar for that specific session.

WHY CAN THE SAME TOUR COST MORE AT A HOTEL OR WITH A LARGE TOUR OPERATOR?

The same or similarly named excursions can be sold at different prices by hotels, large tour operators and local tourism platforms because they use different sales and operating models.

When comparing excursion prices in Okurcalar, look beyond the tour name and compare what is actually included, such as hotel transfer, meals, entrance tickets, activities and other services. Two tours sold under the same or a similar name do not necessarily include exactly the same programme or services.
