The Relationship between the History of Piracy and Alanya

The presence of pirates in the eastern Mediterranean during the Hellenistic and Ancient Greek eras was substantial. In the Hellenistic period, pirates, who dominated only the coasts with small boats, took the entire eastern Mediterranean under their protection over time.

There were two reasons why pirates lived around Alanya.

• Being very close to maritime trade routes.
• The fact that Alanya is a sheltered and suitable place to live in terms of its geographical features.

The pirates could easily observe the distant sea over the peninsula where the Alanya Castle is located. They could see both possible future attacks and merchant ships.

The steep slopes of the Alanya castle peninsula provided their protection. In addition, the steep Taurus mountains in the west of Alanya prevents the dangers that could come from the land.

Alanya was a sheltered place in every way, where they could watch commercial ships and was suitable for living. In short, Alanya was an indispensable shelter for pirates.

Although there is no certain information, it is thought that they stow the loot they obtained in the caves around the Alanya castle peninsula. The pirates cave in Alanya got its name from here.
