Alanya Tersane (Seljuk Shipyard)
Alanya Tersanesi
A five-arched dock built in 1228 beneath seaside cliffs. It is the only surviving Seljuk-era shipyard in Turkey.
The shipyard consists of five connected arched stone chambers facing the sea. In the past, it was used to build and repair the warships of the Seljuk fleet. Nearby are a guard tower and a small chapel, and the interior displays ancient shipbuilding tools. By land, it is about 10 minutes on foot from the Red Tower along the city wall path. You can also view it from the sea on a boat tour. Tickets can be combined with the Red Tower. The ground is uneven, so take care to avoid slipping and bring sun protection.
Opening hours
Approx. 8:00–19:00 (shorter hours in winter)
