A Guide to Medical Services in Alanya for Tourists

Emergency numbers, pharmacies, clinics, online doctors and tests: what medical services in Alanya look like for visitors.

September 28, 2026 · By E-rx.online Team

Whether you are staying around the castle area, Cleopatra Beach, Oba and Mahmutlar, it helps to know which medical services are available before you need them. Here is a simple overview for visitors to Alanya.

Emergency Care

The emergency number is 112, not 999, 000, 111 or 911. Ambulances and hospital emergency departments handle serious injuries and sudden illness.

Hospitals and Clinics

Private hospitals and clinics operate in Alanya, and many have English-speaking staff. Some see patients without an appointment, but fees and waiting times vary, so ask about the cost first and keep your invoice for your insurer.

Pharmacies

Look for the red E sign. Pharmacists can advise on minor problems, and the on-duty pharmacy (nobetci eczane) stays open at night and on Sundays.

English-Speaking Doctor and E-Prescription

An English-speaking doctor is available 24/7 by video anywhere in Alanya, so there is no language barrier. The e-prescription can be used at a local pharmacy.

Hotel and Home Visits

In selected areas a doctor can visit your hotel, villa or apartment. Message us on WhatsApp to check your location.

Labs and Imaging

Blood and other samples can be taken where you are and tested in a laboratory, and X-ray or other imaging can be arranged when your doctor advises a scan.

Specialists and Refills

Appointments with a paediatrician, internal medicine doctor or gynaecologist can be arranged, and routine prescriptions can be renewed if you lose or run out of your medicine.

What Visitors to Alanya Usually Need Help with

Doctors in Alanya often see problems linked to sun, boat trips and busy nightlife. Carry water, sunscreen and rehydration sachets, and keep your travel insurance details to hand.

Shopping in Alanya

Alanya is known for leather and textile shops, jewellery, local honey, bananas and souvenirs. The weekly markets, including a large Friday market, sell fresh fruit, vegetables, spices and clothes, so go early before it gets hot.

Things to Do in Alanya and How to Stay Healthy

A cable car or walk up to Alanya Castle. The climb is steep and exposed, so wear sturdy shoes, take water and avoid midday.

Boat trips to caves and bays, and a visit to Dim Cave. Cave floors are slippery and the water is cool, so wear shoes with grip and cover up after swimming.

Taurus jeep and quad safaris, rafting and canyon visits. Dust, bumps and sun are the main risks, so wear sunglasses, closed shoes and sunscreen and follow your guide’s instructions.
