Alanya Becomes a Direct Winter Getaway from Denmark
A new seasonal flight route has been introduced between Copenhagen and Alanya, providing a nonstop air link to Gazipaşa Airport on Turkey’s southern coast. The connection is planned for the winter months and allows passengers to avoid transfers in larger European hubs. With fewer flight segments involved, the journey becomes more straightforward, offering an additional option for those interested in travelling between Denmark and the Mediterranean region.
The service is scheduled during a period when many northern European travelers consider warmer destinations. By offering a direct route, it may simplify planning for short holidays or spontaneous trips. Instead of coordinating multiple tickets or layovers, passengers can now reach the Turkish coast more efficiently. The change may be of interest to travelers who value time-saving options or want to avoid congested international airports during the high season.
If you have time before flying out, Copenhagen has plenty to offer with its blend of old and new corners worth seeing. Kastellet, a well-preserved star-shaped fortress from the 18th century, sits just north of the city center and offers walking paths with views of moats and old military structures. Just around the corner, Refshaleøen feels like a different world, where old shipyards now host food stalls, pop-up art, and quirky spaces that mix the past with a bold creative vibe.
Once in Alanya, travelers will find a mix of historical and natural sites within easy reach of the city center. Sitting high above the city on a rugged hill, Alanya Castle gives you wide-open views of the sea and bits of old stone walls left from the time of the Seljuks. A short distance away, Damlataş Cave offers a quieter experience, with humid air and geological formations that have attracted attention from both scientists and casual visitors.
More and more flights across Europe are being designed to cut out the hassle of big airports, and this new connection fits right into that shift toward simpler, faster travel between smaller cities. For travelers, it introduces a seasonal route that reduces complexity and allows more flexibility when organizing trips. Whether for leisure, family visits or brief breaks, the simplified itinerary may encourage more people to consider Alanya as a viable winter destination from the Danish capital.
