Mahmutlar stretches along about 5 km of coastline, roughly 10 km east of Alanya’s city centre, with banana plantations and the Taurus foothills behind it. It is an international neighbourhood where everyday needs are easy to reach. This guide covers what Mahmutlar is like, how to get around and what to check before you buy, with our current apartments for sale in Mahmutlar further down.
Why Mahmutlar?
A long seafront
About 5 km of beach and promenade for morning runs, cycling and evening walks, right by the sea.
Close to the airport
Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport is about 30 km away; the airport’s own distance table lists 40 km for Alanya city centre.
An international setting
Residents come from many countries, so you will hear many languages in everyday life.
Daily life within reach
Shopping centres, weekly markets, cafés and restaurants cover everyday needs.
Where is Mahmutlar?
Mahmutlar lies about 10 km east of Alanya’s city centre, between Kestel and Kargıcak along the D400 coastal road. The Mediterranean is on one side and Taurus foothills covered in banana plantations on the other. Until 2013 it was a separate town (belde); today it is a neighbourhood of Alanya with a population of about 53,000 (TÜİK, 2022) and is among the larger ones in the district.
From the sea to the hillside
Mahmutlar sits between the beach and the slopes of the Taurus. Complexes close to the shore put the sea within walking distance, while those higher up the slope can offer wider views but are further from the water.
Because the distance to the sea and to the main avenue varies from project to project, we recommend checking the exact location of any apartment you are considering.
Daily life in Mahmutlar
Much of daily life is covered locally: supermarkets, cafés and restaurants, markets held on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and shopping centres such as Akdeniz Park, which opened in spring 2024. The seafront promenade is used for running, cycling and evening walks.
Getting around
Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport is about 30 km from Mahmutlar; the airport’s distance table lists 30 km for Mahmutlar and 40 km for Alanya city centre. Minibuses (dolmuş) and buses connect Mahmutlar with Alanya. Antalya Airport is around 140 km away.
What is nearby?
The ancient city of Leartes lies within Mahmutlar, and the ancient city of Syedra, the Dim river and Dim Cave are a short drive away.
Who chooses Mahmutlar?
Some buyers plan to live in Mahmutlar all year round; others look for a holiday home by the sea. Because many residents come from abroad, the neighbourhood has an international feel. Many projects offer shared facilities such as a pool and leisure areas.
