Alanya Atatürk Evi Müzesi

About Alanya Atatürk Evi Müzesi

Alanya Atatürk Evi Müzesi is the house where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk stayed for a time during his visit to Alanya on 18 February 1935. It stands in a garden on Azaklar Sokak in the Şekerhane neighbourhood and is run by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The building is a traditional three-storey Alanya mansion of timber and masonry that reflects nineteenth-century Turkish architecture. Its exact construction date is not known, though its builder is said to have been a master craftsman called Beyri Usta. The owner, Tevfik Azakoğlu, donated the house to the Ministry, and after repairs it opened as the Atatürk House Museum on 30 April 1987. Restoration and new displays begun in 2010 were completed, and the museum was officially reopened on 18 February 2011, the anniversary of Atatürk's 1935 visit. The main floor shows personal belongings of Atatürk brought from the Anıtkabir Museum, photographs, and the telegram he sent to the people of Alanya, along with other historical documents. The other rooms are arranged as a traditional Alanya home, with displays on local weddings, Alanya food and children's games, examples of regional embroidery, and ethnographic items such as clothing, jewellery and weapons. The Ministry's museum page lists hours of 08:30 to 19:00 every day, with the ticket office closing at 18:30, and free entry. When checked in November 2026 the same page marked the museum as closed, so confirm before visiting. Telephone +90 242 513 32 54.
