Description Slip Sliding Away: Alanya

The facilities at this home in Antalya are superb. Cool off from the Turkish sun in the in-pool sun loungers or head down the slide into the smaller pool. Other communal features here include a sauna, gym and fantastic kids’ club.

Back at your apartment, have a glass of Raki on your private balcony with its views over the district, then rustle up some koftas in the modern kitchen.

If you prefer to eat out, there are plenty of options nearby. Or for a day by the sea, this home is within walking distance of two beaches, Mahmutlar and Kargicak. Alternatively, explore Alanya, a lovely town on the Turkish Riviera. Here, you’ll find Cleopatra Beach, where the Egyptian queen was said to have bathed, along with Alanya Castle, a fort which is now an open-air museum, and the iconic Red Tower.
