About Gazipaşa

About Gazipaşa

Gazipaşa is the small town that GZP airport is named after — banana plantations, Iotape Roman ruins, Sapadere Canyon. Cheapest Gazipaşa transfer in Antalya — only €40.

The "real Turkey" district — banana farmers, fishermen, weekly market shoppers. Russian and German pensioners overwintering in long-stay apartments. Almost no resort hotels.

Best season
Year-round mild — Gazipaşa rarely drops below 12 °C even in January. April-May for canyon walks, October-November for banana harvest tours.
Hidden gem · Iotape ruins at low tide
The Roman harbour at Iotape is half-submerged — at low tide (twice a day) you can walk on the original Roman dock stones. Pelagic fish school in the harbour channel.

GZP — the secondary airport
Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) — closer to Alanya and the eastern coast than AYT. €40 transfer to the town centre.
🍌
Banana plantations
Turkey's largest banana-growing region — the entire coastal strip is covered in plastic-roofed plantations producing the small, sweet Turkish dwarf banana.
🏛
Iotape Roman ruins
A 2nd-century Roman fortress on a clifftop above the sea — almost no tourists, 5-min walk from the GZP road.
💧
Sapadere Canyon
A 700 m walkway hugging a turquoise river through a sheer-sided canyon — 35 min inland from Gazipaşa.
🐢
Wild turtle beaches
Long unguarded coastal stretches where loggerhead turtles nest — strictly no-light rule May-October.

Friday country market
The biggest weekly food market between Alanya and Anamur — fresh fish, bananas by the crate, hand-made cheese.
