Tours to Alanya from Dnipro — Last-Minute Deals
Sitting at the eastern end of the Antalya coast, Alanya ranks among Turkey's warmest resorts, with sandy beaches, a clifftop fortress and sea bathing well into November. Dnipro's airport is out of action, so locals travel via Chisinau, reached through Odesa or on a direct bus. Those who prefer not to fly can take a coach tour that sets off from Kharkiv and collects passengers in Dnipro.
Air packages bundle return flights between Chisinau and Antalya, transfers, your hotel with the chosen meal plan and insurance; getting to Moldova is extra. Coach packages include the ride, the hotel, meals and medical cover. Compare every operator's prices for a given date in the tour search; our managers are happy to suggest the right part of Alanya.
Getting from Dnipro to Alanya
| Option | Route | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Via Odesa | Train to Odesa, then a 4.5–5 h ride from the Starosinna terminal to Chisinau airport | Morning buses start very early, so an overnight stay in Odesa makes sense |
| Direct bus to Chisinau | Around half a day | No changes, but you spend the whole day travelling |
| Via Kyiv | Intercity to the capital, then the overnight Bessarabia train | The slowest option, but sleeper berths are available |
| Coach tour | Approximately 38–40 h: Kharkiv – Dnipro – Odesa – Antalya airport | Then the same hotel transfer that air passengers get; ask a manager about the boarding point in Dnipro |
Flying time from Chisinau is about two hours. From Antalya airport the transfer runs along the coast, taking roughly 90 minutes to the western villages and up to three hours to the eastern ones. Gazipaşa airport lies just 40 minutes from central Alanya, yet Moldovan charters seldom use it. For departures from Moldova, parking and the road to the airport, read tours to Turkey from Chisinau.
Alanya Beyond the Beach
- Paragliding over Cleopatra Beach. Tandem flights take off from the mountain above the town and land right on the sand, with the fortress and the whole bay in view from above.
- The fortress at sunset. A cable car takes you up the peninsula, and it is pleasant to walk down past old houses and gardens.
- Tropical fruit. Most of Turkey's avocados and local bananas are grown around Alanya, and markets sell them straight from the plantations.
- For children. Water slides at the hotels, a water park in Okurcalar and a dolphinarium in town.
- The Taurus Mountains. Jeep safaris through villages and summer pastures, the yayla, where even in July it is noticeably cooler than by the sea.

Alanya's Weather Month by Month
- May – June. Sea at +21 to +25 °C, the heat is still bearable and prices sit below summer levels.
- July – August. The warmest water, +28…+29 °C, with daytime highs of +33…+35 °C; tough going with toddlers.
- September – October. The sea stays summer-warm while the beaches empty out.
- November. In mild years swimming continues until mid-month, after which the season winds down.
- December – March. Daytime highs of +16…+20 °C, too cool for the beach, yet many Europeans winter here.
Hotels and Prices
Alanya undercuts Belek and Antalya on price: two people pay from about UAH 25,500 for a full week on all-inclusive terms, flying via Chisinau, and coach tours cost even less. The centre has plenty of inexpensive city hotels near Cleopatra Beach, big resort hotels featuring slides and pools are mostly found in the western villages of Konaklı, Avsallar and Okurcalar, and in the east, in Mahmutlar and Kargıcak, hotels on the rocky shore with pontoons are more common.
Documents
- Passport. It needs more than six months of validity from the day you land. ID cards are accepted for entering Moldova, but boarding the plane requires a passport.
- Coach tours need a biometric passport: the bus crosses the EU, and at its first border your fingerprints and photo are recorded for EES.
- Tour papers. Booking documents (voucher, tickets, insurance) reach your inbox after payment.
- Exit rules. Martial law means the conditions for men and minors leaving the country can change, so confirm them in advance.
