Oba (or Obaköy) is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Alanya, Antalya Province, Turkey.[1] Its population is 28,864 (2022).[2] Before the 2013 reorganisation, it was a town (belde).[3][4] It is almost merged to Alanya. It is about 140 kilometres (87 mi) from Antalya.
In the Middle Ages, Oba was the capital of Alaiye Beylik. In 1934, a part of Oba was issued from the main settlement to form the Çıplaklı village. In 1999, Oba was declared a seat of township.[5] The main crops of the town are citrus and dwarf apple. Being very close to Alanya, services to the city are also a part of the town's economy.
