What Makes Alanya Cay Bahcesi Special?

Whether you’re looking for a refreshing çay (tea), a frothy coffee, or a quick bite at unbeatable prices, this spot has it all—plus a welcoming atmosphere that makes it the perfect place to escape the heat and enjoy the Mediterranean breeze.

A Fresh, Modern Look with Stunning Views

Gone are the days of outdated municipal tea gardens! The Alanya Municipality has completely revitalised this space, offering a sleek, contemporary design while keeping its cosy charm. With plenty of shaded seating, you can relax and take in panoramic views of the harbour and the sparkling sea.

Smart, Self-Service System (No Long Waits!)

The new efficient ordering system ensures you spend more time relaxing and less time waiting in line. You check the menü over the kitchen bar and cash register.

1. Ordering:

   • Food & drinks? Head to the cash register. You will get a receipt and an electronic beeping device.

   • Only drinks & desserts? Use the touchscreen kiosk near the kitchen bar to skip the queue.

2. Pickup:

   • Drinks (tea, milkshakes, soft drinks etc.) → Left side of the bar.

   • Coffee → Far end of the bar (separate station to avoid crowding).

   • Food & dessets→ Kitchen bar – Your buzzer will alert you when it’s ready.

3. Keep Your Receipt!

Garden Bar Option

You can pick up your drinks from the garden bar if the main bar is bussy. It also provides a second touchscreen for ordering drinks, desserts or ice cream. Though you’ll have to keep in mind that in the garden bar you will get a cartoon cup instead of a glass.
