Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) in Alanya: What to Know Locally

In antiquity the town was Coracesium, later Kalonoros, and the Seljuk sultan Alaeddin Keykubad gave it the name Alaiye, which became Alanya. Tourist tip: climb to Alanya Castle, see the Red Tower and Damlatas Cave, and shop the bazaar for souvenirs and leather. Cleopatra Beach is good for swimming, with diving, jet-skiing and paragliding on offer.
