Obakoy Alanya Travel Guide
Obakoy, Alanya
Obakoy is a coastal district of Alanya in Turkey's Mediterranean Region. On the eastern side of the city, directly on the Mediterranean Sea, it forms part of Alanya's continuous urban beachfront. The area lies about 3-5 km east of central Alanya and has a flatter layout than the castle hill zone, making it easier to get around on foot during a holiday.
Obakoy is known more for modern hotels, apartments, and residential blocks than for historic architecture. Visitors come for beach access, swimming, sunbathing, and walks along the seafront promenade. It also works well as a practical base for a holiday that combines time by the sea with short trips to central Alanya, the harbor, the castle area, Alanyum Shopping Mall, and nearby Dimcayi.
Obakoy is easy to reach by road, with the D400 coastal highway providing strong access along the Alanya coast. Local buses, dolmus minibuses, and taxis connect the district with central Alanya and neighboring areas. Gazipasa-Alanya Airport is the nearest airport for many visitors staying in this part of Alanya.

Main areas in Obakoy
The main places to spend time in Obakoy are the seafront and beach, where visitors come for swimming, sunbathing, and promenade walks. Alanyum Shopping Mall is a practical stop in the wider Oba-Cikcilli side of Alanya for those staying here. Nearby Dimcayi is also a common excursion from the district, especially in hot weather, making these some of the main places to visit around Obakoy.
Obakoy is flatter than central Alanya's castle hill area, which makes walking easier on local streets and along the seafront. The district has a mixed urban character of modern hotels, apartments, and residential blocks, functioning both as a tourist accommodation area and a year-round residential district. Its position on the Mediterranean gives it a practical beachfront setting on the eastern side of Alanya.
Restaurants and cafes are spread along the beachfront and the main streets behind it, giving visitors straightforward dining options within the district. For shopping, many visitors use Alanyum as a practical retail point during their stay. Evenings are generally calmer than in central Alanya's main nightlife areas, which suits visitors who want beach access and urban convenience without staying in the busiest streets.
