Alanya Müzesi (Alanya Museum)

Alanya Müzesi (Alanya Museum) Review

It's worth dropping by the small Alanya Müzesi, just to see the perfectly preserved Roman bronze statue of a gleaming, muscular Hercules from the 2nd century AD. Other bronze statues feature Hermes and a graceful woman. There is also a large collection of ancient ceramics and interesting limestone ossuaries and heads from the late Roman period, as well as pictures of some of the less famous sites in the area. Note the Ottoman Greek inscriptions in Karamanli—Turkish written with the Greek alphabet.
