are two other annual events that attract sports lovers to Alanya: the Turkish National Triathlon, held on July 31st, and an international beach volleyball competition which is held between 24-26 July. Besides triathlons and beach volleyball, Alanya's most popular sport is most definitely @rafting.@ @Dim Stream,@ which flows out of the foothills of Taurus Mountains through a lush green valley and into the Mediterranean, is one of the few real rafting sites in the Antalya region.
