Holidays in Mahmutlar

Mahmutlar is situated between Alanya district and Gazipasa, in the province of Antalya, a mountainous area in south-west Anatolia stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Taurus Mountains. In summer visitors flock here to enjoy the warm sunshine or spend time in the mountains. The town is also a popular base for visiting Turkish towns and cities such as Cappadocia, Pamukkale or Anamur.

The best time for Mahmutlar holidays

The town sees an influx of tourists between June and September. During this period, it is necessary to book accommodation in advance. If you are looking for a cheap and affordable holiday plan your Mahmutlar holidays anywhere from November through April, which is the quiet season. The time zone is GMT+2 and the nearest airport is Antalya International. Several buses and minibuses service the area, but some visitors prefer hiring a car.

Things to do during your Mahmutlar holidays

Mahmutlar holidays offer plenty to do, even for those spoilt by the neighbouring city of Alanya. Take a picnic and head out to the forest to enjoy the smell of fresh pine and the chirping of birds. Just behind the town are the Taurus mountains, which offer trekking in summer and sledging and skiing in winter. Fishing aficionados should try angling for sea bass, sea trout and red coral fish or take a boat for some dolphin watching.

To liven up Mahmutlar holidays, travellers can go on a jeep safari to spot wild animals in the forest or head out to the aqua parks to enjoy some family fun. The ultimate highlight of Mahmutlar holidays is being able to spend time at the beach. The sandy beach is free to access and, if the sun gets too intense, you can escape to one of the many beach bars. Nightlife is never dull, as the Mahmutlar has many clubs towards the east side of the town which attract a young crowd.
