Cikcilli is just a few kilometres inland from Alanya centre, and it’s one of the first areas buyers consider when coastal prices feel too high.
It’s close to everything, the city, hospitals, shopping, but without the noise of the beachfront. Most of the development here is relatively recent, which is why the area feels more modern than many parts of Alanya.
Quick facts

Where Cikcilli sits
Cikcilli is located directly behind central Alanya, around 2–3 kilometres from the coastline.
The area developed later than the seafront, which is why most buildings are newer. As you move uphill, the housing stock becomes more modern, with larger complexes and better facilities.
Nearby Oba is more developed and closer to the coast, while Çıplaklı sits further inland with similar pricing but less established infrastructure.
What you're really buying
Property in Cikcilli is about getting more for your budget.
Compared to the seafront, you typically get:
- newer buildings
- larger apartments
- better facilities for the same price
Most properties are apartments in residential complexes, often with pools, gyms, and security.
For buyers searching for property in Cikcilli, the main appeal is the balance between price and location; close to the centre, but without coastal premiums.
Living in Cikcilli
Cikcilli is one of the more practical areas to live in Alanya.
Shopping centres, supermarkets, and hospitals are all within a short drive, especially in nearby Oba. Daily life is straightforward, and the area is active year-round.
The trade-off is simple: the beach is not within walking distance.
For many buyers, that’s acceptable given the price difference.
Rental and investment reality
Cikcilli is better suited to long-term rental than short-term holiday lets.
Because it’s inland, it doesn’t attract the same level of tourist demand as coastal areas. However, demand from residents is steady, particularly for newer apartments.
This makes it more of a stable, long-term investment rather than a high-yield holiday rental location.
Getting around
Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport is around 30–40 minutes away. Antalya Airport is approximately 2 hours by car.
Alanya centre can be reached in 5–10 minutes, and the nearest beaches are around 10 minutes away.
Who it's for
Cikcilli suits buyers who:
- want modern property at a lower price than the coast
- prefer a quieter, residential environment
- need easy access to the city and services
Who should look elsewhere
If being close to the beach is a priority, or if you’re focused on short-term rental income, areas like Mahmutlar may be a better fit.
Cikcilli works best for buyers who prioritise value, space, and convenience over beachfront living.
