The town of Mahmutlar is located 15 kilometres from the lively city of Alanya, its a  lovely little place with green fields and views of the Taurus mountains in the background,  it’s actually becoming very popular with the tourists buying property as investments and as their holiday apartments. Tuesdays and Saturdays  they have large outdoor markets which attract large crowds for both the retail stalls and the fresh fruits and vegetables from the local farms.

Also near Mahmutlar is one of the largest mosques in the district, its large domes and beautiful paintings are wonderful.

Currently (2007-2008) the town has worked hard and fast to renovate and enhance most of the main roads & walks in town.

They have added wonderful wide side walks with wooden benches and matching litter bins all along the walk. The median lighting and landscaping is superb just as they already have in the center of the town and by the “Clock Tower”.

The new walks are Great for your walks and bike rides to the center shops or market!

The little buses run constantly both on the main street and out on the ocean highway and you can be in Oba or Alanya in 10 minutes.
