This cache is a ULTRA MINI MULTI alongside a part of the old wall with magnificent vieuws on Darphane..
As partime citizens of Alanya we like to show geocachers more than the usual touristic places. Only a few meters away from the main road you will find the most beautiful views, historical and culture places and nature spots..
DARPHANE
You can make a combination with our cache SULEYMANIYE VE EHMEDEK GC3CQXX
This are buildings on Cilvarda Bay that has bluffs, nearly 400 meters long and there are at the end of the peninsula. Although known as "the Minting House"in public,(Darphane in Turkish)those buildings made of stone blocks have never been used for issuing money. One of the stone buildings of the 11th century is a little church and the others were possibly used as monasteries. The dome of the little church has remained standing. There's a cistern on the rocks. Although there's a passage of steps carved in the rocks from İçkale to Cilvarda Bay, it can't be used today. As for sea transport it is difficult and dangerous. It looks magnificent when looked at it from İçkale. .
The coordinates above are at the startingpoint..
From there you go to the cache: N 36.31.825 E 31.59.407.
