Taxi Near Ataturk Square
About this place
Taking a taxi from near Ataturk Square in Alanya is one of the most convenient transport options in the city centre, but there are a few things worth knowing before you jump in. In our experience, taxis in Alanya can be expensive, and the meter is not always switched on automatically — always ask the driver to run the meter before you set off, or agree on a fixed price in advance. The cars are generally decent and the drivers are usually friendly and pleasant, which is reassuring. The main gap in Alanya's transport options is the absence of a reliable ride-hailing app like Uber or Bolt, which would make pricing more transparent and competitive. For getting around Alanya to attractions like Cleopatra Beach, the Red Tower, or the cable car station, a taxi from this central rank is quick and practical. We'd recommend learning a few key destinations in Turkish to help communication. For longer journeys, such as reaching Mahmutlar or Gazipasha, agreeing a price beforehand is always the sensible approach.
