Saklikent National Park

I'd suggest starting your visit around 9 AM. It's less crowded and the weather is cooler for exploring.

If you're planning to walk through the gorge, wear waterproof shoes. Trust me, you'll get wet! Those river crossings can be a splash zone!

grab a cheap lunch from the local cafés nearby. there's nothing like fresh gözleme while enjoying the river views
Karaalioglu Park

Check out the fountains and flower gardens for some awesome photo ops. I thought I'd skip them, but they turned out to be the best part of my visit!

Take a stroll during sunset! I didn't realize how beautiful it would be, and I totally regretted not having my camera ready. The views are amazing, so plan your visit around 6 PM.

Bring a light jacket or sweater, especially if you're staying till evening. The breeze can get chilly, and I wasn't prepared for it at all.

If you want to save some cash, find the public parking lots a little farther from the park. The closer ones charge a lot, and it’s an easy walk from a bit further out.
Falez Park 2

If you enjoy photography, the sunset here is breathtaking. So, plan to stick around in the evening and capture those golden hours!

I suggest trying to visit during weekdays if you can. The weekends can get pretty crowded, and you might miss out on the serene vibes.

My advice is to wear comfortable shoes. The trails can get a bit uneven, and you wouldn't want sore feet ruining your day.

You might want to bring your own snacks and drinks. The cafes there are a bit pricey, and trust me, there's nothing like a picnic with a view.
Ataturk Park
Yavuz Ozcan Park

if you can, go around 6 pm. the sunset views are absolutely stunning and the park is less crowded then!

Keep an eye out for the small paths; I almost missed some hidden spots that were so peaceful and beautiful. Just wander a bit, you'll find gems!

Make sure to have some water with you because there aren’t many places to buy it inside the park. It can get pretty hot, especially around noon!
Alanya Municipality 100th Year Ataturk Park

If you're planning to take photos, visit around sunset. The lighting is stunning, and the crowds thin out, which makes for a peaceful experience. I wish I had aimed for that time!

Head towards the back of the park to find some quieter spots. I stumbled upon a lovely hidden garden area that wasn't crowded, perfect for relaxing away from the hustle and bustle.
Yaka

I suggest packing a picnic. There are lovely spots to relax, and it saves you money compared to the on-site café prices, which can be a bit steep.

Make sure to wear comfortable shoes! The trails can be rocky, and I definitely regretted wearing sandals during my visit. You want to explore without worrying about your feet!

If you’re interested in photography, bring a good camera! The views are stunning, and the golden hour before sunset gives you amazing lighting – trust me, it's worth it!

I recommend visiting Yaka early in the morning around 8 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy the serenity of the park. It really adds to the experience!
Duden Park

i think visiting duden park early in the morning around 8 am is the way to go. the park is less crowded then, and you can enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature before the rush begins.
Ugur Mumcu Park

I suggest visiting around 5 PM when the weather cools down and you can catch a beautiful sunset. Plus, it’s less crowded, so you can really enjoy the peaceful vibe

My advice is to bring some snacks or a picnic. There aren’t many food stalls nearby and you’ll want to savor the lovely atmosphere without needing to leave for food.
Katranсi Bay Nature Park

I think the views are best if you hike up around 5 PM when the sun starts to set. It was absolutely stunning, and the crowds were way thinner compared to midday
I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. The park has some cafes, but trust me, they are a bit overpriced. I saved a nice chunk of change by just packing a picnic!
