Demirtas is a quiet corner of untouched nature, which is located 23 km east of the center of Alanya. The area is framed by a long beach to the south and the Taurus Mountains to the north. New and unexplored, Demirtas is a secluded place where nature remains pristine. There are no noisy crowds of tourists, nightlife or large hotels, which makes it ideal for those who want a peaceful holiday.
Authentic village houses coexist with modern complexes, and villas can be located on the first coastline due to the relative distance from the center. The population of this corner is more than 3,000 people, and here you will find all the necessary amenities - shops, restaurants, a hospital, a clinic and pharmacies.
The Demirtas area has a favorable climate for living and recreation. Summer here is hot and dry, with air temperatures ranging from 30 to 35 degrees Celsius during the day and sea water warming up to 25-28 degrees Celsius. In winter, the temperature is around 15 degrees Celsius during the day, making it suitable for holidays during this period as well. The Demirtas coast delights with its sand and pebble beaches with a gentle entrance to the sea. The sea water is clean and warm, good for swimming and fishing, and beach clubs provide the opportunity to rent sun loungers and umbrellas, providing comfort and convenience to vacationers.
Despite the tranquility of the Demirtas area, there are many interesting activities for tourists of all ages and interests. Let's start with cultural attractions. In the village of Seki, on Mount Asar, covered with centuries-old forests, are the ancient ruins of the city of Syedra (Syedra Antik Kenti), dating back to the 1st century BC. The highest point of this place provides breathtaking views of the Taurus Mountains and the endless Mediterranean Sea. In addition, the area is famous for the Sapadere kanyonu mountain canyon - this is a majestic gorge with a waterfall and wooden walkways for the safety of visitors, about 700 meters long. This unique natural formation captivates with its beauty and freshness, because the water here is always cool with a temperature of about +12°C.
For lovers of active recreation, various sports are available. Also, residents and tourists can enjoy the variety of local cuisine by visiting cafes where dishes that delight with their taste are served with all Turkish hospitality.
When it comes to shopping and necessities, the area has many general stores, small hardware stores, and street stalls where you can purchase everything you need. The weekly farmers' market offers fresh dairy products, fruits and vegetables, and seafood. And for true lovers of shopping, Alanya offers chain supermarkets and shopping and entertainment centers, which can be easily reached from Demirtas by buses that regularly operate from the area to the center and back. For money matters, there are local branches of Akbank, Garanti Bankası and Ziraat Bankası, where you can exchange currency or take out a loan.
And if you have children, the district provides educational institutions, including secondary and primary schools, a lyceum, as well as a private kindergarten with a good pre-school program and a club for the comprehensive development of children.
Thus, Demirtas is not only a secluded place for a relaxing holiday, but also an area with a rich cultural heritage for comfortable living with opportunities for active recreation, proximity to shopping centers, and beautiful natural areas. This is a unique place for those who value peace, nature and tranquility, and that is why it attracts people seeking privacy and comfort on the Mediterranean coast.
