Apartment for sale in Oba: Alanya close to town, everything on foot

In the morning coffee in one of the cafés on Oba’s main street, then a walk to the beach. In the evening you stroll the 20 minutes to the harbour, eat fish under the castle hill and walk home without a car. In winter the shopping centre, five minutes away, is where people meet.
