Most services are less frequent outside summer, but buses generally leave hourly for Antalya (€5, two hours, 115km) and eight times daily to Adana (€12, 10 hours, 440km), stopping at a number of towns along the way. Buses to Konya (€9.50, 6½ hours, 320km) take the Akseki–Beyşehir route.

There are services to Girne (Kyrenia) in Northern Cyprus from Alanya harbour, operated by Fergün Denizcilik (511 5565, 511 5358; www.fergun.net; İskele Caddesi 84). Boats leave at noon on Mondays and Thursdays. They return to Alanya at 11am on Wednesdays and Sundays.

You must buy a ticket and present your passport a day before departure so they can handle the immigration formalities. Not included in the €32/64 one-way/return ticket prices is a €6 Alanya harbour tax. Returning from Girne, there is a €9 departure tax.
