Alanya Pirate Boat — 7-Hour Party Cruise with 3 Swim Stops
The Alanya Pirate Boat departs from Alanya harbour directly beneath the castle walls — a better starting point than Antalya and the reason the photos from this cruise look the way they do. The route covers three of the coast's headline swim spots: Kleopatra Beach (the bay where Cleopatra supposedly swam, famous for its sand), Lover's Cave (a sea cave accessible by swimming through a narrow entrance), and Pirate's Cave (a larger cavern with natural light coming through from above). Seven hours on the water with all three stops. The boat has a full animation team running activities through the day and a foam party that runs for about 20 minutes mid-cruise. Unlimited soft drinks and water are included; the bar sells alcohol separately. A hot buffet lunch is included. The atmosphere is energetic and the crowd is typically a mix of young adults and family groups. Pickup from Antalya hotels is earlier than the standard pirate boat — around 7:30 to 8:00 AM — because Alanya is 130 km from central Antalya. Total day is approximately 11 hours from hotel pickup to hotel drop-off. Best booked 2–3 days ahead in July and August.

15 Aug 2025Absolutely incredible jeep safari experience! Our guide spoke perfect English and the mountain views were breathtaking. They picked us up right from our hotel lobby — so convenient!

10 Jul 2025Best tour of our entire trip to Turkey! The jeep convoy through the Taurus Mountains was such a rush. Our kids (8 and 11) absolutely loved the waterfall stop and the village lunch. The guides were super attentive and made sure everyone was safe.

3 Sept 2025The Old City and Düden Waterfall tour was simply stunning. Hadrian's Gate and the Kaleiçi streets were unlike anything I'd seen. Our driver was friendly and the tour was perfectly organised from start to finish.
