Atmospheric ruins. We were at the time of the poppy blossoms. Very beautiful. You need to enter from the side opposite the sea. There's a road there. It is surrounded on other sides by banana plantations. It's impossible to get through there.

An incredible original place, a place of power that has preserved the remains of past civilizations, the era of the Middle Ages. An incredible combination of antiquity among the urban landscape in Alanya's Mahmutlar.

Yes, you won't find a lot of buildings and ancient forks and knives here, but if you want to feel like you're in ancient buildings, or rather what's left of them, then you're here. Unfortunately, only a part of the city has been preserved, but it still exists. Personally, I managed to get into the old days and appreciate how unique the cities were in ancient times. I advise you to look at who is nearby.

It didn't cause any wow effect, but there is definitely power in this place. A contrasting transition from the remaining pieces of walls to modern hotels. All this beauty is also covered by a banana field.
The disadvantage that I noticed is garbage. No respect, broken beer bottles, black bags stuffed in the corners.
Definitely worth checking out at this location.

The most interesting place in Mahmutlar, you can easily visit on foot — the picturesque ruins of the ancient city of Naula (Naula Antik Şehri), an ancient Roman settlement (330-1453 AD) - the end of the Byzantine era. It is located right in the middle of the blocks of Mahmutlar's newest residential real estate and covers an area of 33 hectares. 200 meters from the sea. The whole of Turkey, the one outside the hotels, the big museum of antiquities, just go, watch, enjoy. There are opinions that the city was the seaport of the nearby Ancient city of Learta. The history of the settlement goes back far into the Roman and Byzantine cultures. There are remains of a theater, Christian churches, watchtowers, baths, a columned alley and even pits where wild animals were kept. Walking between the ruins, windows and entrances to former buildings going underground are clearly visible. With all this, the place remains unexplored to this day. There is definitely still a lot of interesting things for specialists under the hills on which the city stands, but for now locals are strolling here, enjoying the aromas of wild herbs and birdsong, and cows and goats are grazing on the ruins (tied so as not to run away or scare passers-by). That's how it is.

I walked around it, but I wasn't very inspired. There is garbage. It is necessary to carry out excavations, which they seem to want to do and equip this place.

A place where you can feel like Indiana Jones, there is a banana jungle around, and the ruins are not gentrified. The most underrated historical place in all of Anatolia.

Nothing unusual. There are new buildings and three ruined buildings around, it's dirty. No one is watching the place. I didn't see anything unusual.

If you walk a little away from the hustle and bustle of the shops, you can see ancient ruins, birds singing, waist-high grass, bugs crawling, fruit trees, nature all around. The ruins themselves are impressive, but there are very few of them, of course, not to compare with the ancient ruins, of which there are many in Turkey.

A lot has changed here in a year. We have excavated many more surrounding areas around. That is, the area of the partially excavated city has grown two or three times. Everyone must go there!

It is interesting, but it is surrounded by hotels, which is a bit strange, literally 15 minutes is enough to get around this place. It's a little bit underdone, there's a lot of garbage.

There's nothing to do here. No one takes care of the ancient city. Everything is overgrown with grass. We arrived after the rain, we didn't even get out of the car, there were knee-deep puddles on the road to the "city" itself, we couldn't get through. It is located in the middle of a residential development. There is no good view. Ordinary ruins, of which there are millions in Turkey. I advise you to go straight to the ancient city of Siedra, it is a 30-minute drive away, there is a great view and the city is being watched.

This is a special place, a must-visit. It's not the first time we've walked there, there are a lot of young people. Downstairs you can go down to the sea to sunbathe and swim.

Very beautiful ruins! Everything is very ancient. I recommend taking rubber shoes with you, as there are blackberry bushes there. The paths are trodden, of course, but it's better to take boots)

In Mahmutlar itself there is an ancient city adjacent to modern multi-storey complexes and surrounded by banana groves, not big, but worth a walk.

There's not much to see, just a few ruined walls. We went there on foot, according to the navigator it was 2.5 km from the hotel

The ancient city is within easy reach, surrounded by modern buildings and banana plantations. The roads are dirty, but... Ancient buildings that you can approach and touch... I think it's wonderful.

Ruins. The most common piles of stones that were once the walls of buildings. He lived in an apartment right next to them. You can go from wherever you want and absolutely for free, because there is nothing to look at)

The safety is so-so. There is more and more interesting in Siedra, then it is much more difficult to get there.
In general, it is interesting when you consider accessibility. And the opportunity to touch the unreported story.
There is no security, admission is free. It is not equipped in any way, it is abandoned, and in places it is very dirty.
