Best places for having your coffee in Alanya


Even that Turkey is a real "tea-drinkers" country also a lot of coffee is consumed. 

 Especially the younger generations has accepted coffee, and cafe-visits with friends are getting increasingly popular.

 This is no different in Alanya where several of the bigger European coffee chains has established themselves side by side with the local coffee shops.

 We therefor want to provide you with this mini-guide to the best places for having your coffee in Alanya.

 Starbucks at the Atatürk statue on the main street
We of course have to start with Starbucks, who has several coffee shops in Alanya. 
The very first opened is situated close to the Atatürk statue on the main street, in an area where several coffee shops and cafes are found side by side.
Besides the usual selection in freshly brewed coffee drinks also cakes and sandwiches are served - just as we know it from other Starbucks Coffee shops around the word.
May we recommend the simple, black and always freshly brewed filter coffee...

 Robert's Coffee at Damlatas/ Cleopatra beach
With beautiful and nice decor this is one of the absolute top cafes in Alanya. 
If you enjoy sitting enjoying life at a cafe, a visit to Robert's Coffe at Damlatas is a must when visiting Alanya.
Also food, snacks and cakes are served, so Robert's Coffee is always worth a visit, that can easily be combined with beaching or a walk in the nearby park and recreational area.

 Shakespeare Bistro at the Atatürk statue at the main street/ eastern beach
Another popular cafe is Shakespeare Coffee & Bistro, where also music are played during weekends. 
Sit at the street side and watch daily life as it happens, or relax inside in the cozy and appealing cafe area.
And not to forget: The pizza at Shakespeare in Alanya is really, really good and the place is also open for evening dinner.


 Juice and Friends
Located behind Starbucks at the Atatürk statue Juice and Friends is tugged nicely away from the noisy main street. Modern contemporary interior and menu that also offers various and freshly made juices.
The place might not be easy to find but it is surely a great place for both local and foreigners.

 In Turkey coffee will never be as popular as tea. But one thing is for sure. A freshly brewed cup of your favorite coffee drink is always to find in Alanya.

 Tip
A lot of restaurants do not serve real coffee, but instead powder coffee/ instant coffee. 

 Do therefor always remember to ask the waiter how the coffee in the restaurant is made, to avoid the disappointment of having a instant coffee served after a nice meal.

 Instead go to one of real coffee places and get a freshly brewed coffee there...

Size of a Turkish squaremeter

  This time, we will examine something that should seem quite simple: the size of a square meter. First, let's see what Wikipedia has to say on the subject: The square meter is a unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one meter. For those particularly interested in the subject, it is worth noting that one square meter equals 0.000001 square kilometers or 10,000 square centimeters. One question Wikipedia does not answer is the size of a Turkish square meter. Experience has taught us that one European square meter and one Turkish square meter are not equal. This is most obvious when we receive the floor plans for the units we promote. These are often quite exaggerated, and we often see 2-bedroom apartments listed as 150 square meters. However, visiting the apartment in question often reveals a different story. In other words, the 150-square-meter apartment turns out to be just 100 square meters. The main reasons for this are: - In Turkey, info...

Hottest topic of Alanya is about your guests

  Recently the most discussed topics related to real estate in Alanya is without doubt the amendments to the law about short time rental of privately owned property. This has led to several other discussions that are also relevant for owners of private properties that do not rent out their property. Mainly two questions are being discussed.... - When are people that are staying in my property to be considered as commercial rentals? and - Must I register my guests with the local authorities and how is that done?   On social media platforms a fierce discussion has been going on. So far most information available has been 3rd party information such as "according to.... ", "we were told that... ", "local authorities said that... " and so on. In this blog post we will take a slightly different approach. We will take a look at the actual laws and form an opinion based on what the laws and regulations say. Before we start please note this carefully: - This inform...

Get on the bus...

At time it can be hard finding your way around the network of local busses in Alanya. Especially since each municipality has its own busses, and they all service not only their own municipality, but also other areas. So the city buses from Mahmutlar are servicing the Alanya area and the busses from Tosmur also goes to Kestel and so on... Generally speaking the busses operate from around 7 o'clock morning to around midnight. But what are there exact routes? That is not so easy to know :-) For the busses from Alanya municipality there is now a solution for this, since all the lines and routes can now be found  at this map - click to see... We havent been able to find same kind of maps from other municipalities. Lets hope that it will soon come.. In the meantime: Get and the bus and have a happy ride...
