Eating and Drinking

In Alanya there are innumerable restaurants and naturally also both inevitable American fast-food restaurant chains. However, here in comparison to the other - and mostly better - restaurant the prices are competitive in keinster way.

And how are the prices? How everywhere in the tourist areas of this world - from Norderney to New Zealand - is considered(applies): the most expensive restaurants are in the harbour....

A small type: pay attention to whether at the tables many Turkish families sit. As a rule you receive good dinner for approx. 3 - 7 Eur, depending on if what they would like to eat. Most expensively is fish (exception: trout) they Inquire with the fish absolutely before after the price, because in the ticket(map) usually only the information stands " after weight(importance) "or" current price " and one is already hit about the ear if one does not pay attention.

For 2-3 Eur one receives a good breakfast, approx. 1,5 Eur costs a Döner kebab or a Turkish pizza in order to take.

For night owl still a small recommendation: before you finish the night, you should drink a " soup " (in the Turkish one one says so). In a lot of bars there is "Paca", one adds a strong, bound broth with a lot of mutton - garlic and lemon after taste himself. In addition there is a sort of Aioli and toasted white bread. Particularly well she tastes in the Sefin Yeri, 24 hours(lessons) open restaurant in the Atatürk Caddesi, opposite the various beach bars direction Mahmutlar. .

The special tip:

.1. RAVZA
at the end the "Fressgasse", in 2nd line in parallel to the coast line behind the harbour, opposite the bank(bench) TC Ziraat, are found 2 good restaurants. The first one is direct(straight) in the street and calls SÖLEN where one receives good pizza. Directly behind it you find the 3-storey RAVZA. This restaurant is a class for itself: always fully, even in winter, since the 50iger years opened and in family estate. For religious reasons no alcoholic beverages are offered, from the same reason one pays attention to excellente quality of dinner and to friendly, obliging office workers. A waiter which bother tourists or only accosts, has bad tickets(maps). The prices are for the offered quality very much moderately. Try a "Mevlana", a Turkish pizza with meat and cheese (the peculiarity: one can also order(appoint) half, anderthalbe or double portions) or a grill plate. True to style Ayran is drunk in addition, the popular beverage of yoghurt.

2. KAPTAN´S GRAND FILIKA
This bar has opened the last summer again and bars send a boom in into Italian or Mexican style released. In the Kleopatrastrand directly in the first beach line lain, the position already puts out a big part of the special atmosphere. The equipment(arrangement) does their(her) rest one: the terrace is put on with Terracottafliesen and a boat in the middle so that one itself, really, in a chic bathing resort in the Italian Riviera imagines .... a "box seat" to observe in the evening if " with Capri *hm* Alanya the red sun sinks into the sea ". Dinner is Italian as well " modern ", also the prices have a corresponding level like in Germany with the noble Italian.

3. ADANA OCAKBASI
This restaurant does optically and from the position not a lot here, because it lies in the middle of crowd of the Dolmus railway station, on the corner where the penalty remove direction Manavgat. The equipment is Spartan. Trotzemist the visit one MUST - this bar has cult status with natives and Alanyakennern equally: here one can gormandize traditionally Turkish with Raki and all around and in it. If they try once CÖP SIS, poor-long metal spits at whose top small pieces are speared by really nice mutton. The whole is served with a cast-iron little pot, in the glowing chars lies and from a fresh-baked pancake bread covered. In addition the whole pallet is served in lettuces(salads), goat's cheese with walnuts, homemade Yoghurt and so on. You identify yourselves as an authority if they tear off small pieces of the pancake bread and strip with it the meat from the spit. The whole is eaten with the hand. In addition one drinks Raki, water and Salgam, a dark red liquid which reminds of cherry juice and how pickled cabbage juice tastes. It is produced from red patches and a special radish what is fermented (no alcohol!). The light yellow liquid which becomes on request dazugekippt, is sharp burning. All beverages are ordered by the bottle. For 4 adults who order(appoint) the whole pallet food and drink, one must count about completely about 50 Euros.
