Situated on the coast road between the Alanya town center and Antalya Gazipaşa Airport, the village also has a regular bus service. The buses run every 15 minutes and are available from early morning until late night. The road is dotted with fish restaurants, hotels, and shops. Many of the restaurants along the beach have private sections of the beaches reserved for guests.

There are major development plans for a golf course above Yeşilöz.
The Taurus Mountains behind the village are the source of the river that flows into the sea, and the mountains are covered with trees planted by the Turkish government. The main economic activities are farming and tourism, and the village is in a protected development area which has restricted all developments to single villas.
