Alanya (/əˈlɑːnjə/; Turkish pronunciation: [anja]), formerly Alaiye, is a beach resort town and district of Antalya Province on the south coast of Turkey, nationally within the Mediterranean region, 133 kilometers (83 miles) east of the city of Antalya.

In Alanya, the air warms up more than in Antalya, since the resort is surrounded by the Taurus Mountains, which prevent cold air masses from entering the city. Yes, indeed, the temperature of Alanya is slightly different from the nearest cities, but this is due to the fact that the valley in which the city is located is surrounded by the Taurus Mountains. They impede the movement of air from the east and north. Cold air masses almost do not penetrate the city.
