TL;DR
From Sarpi, the easier bus route to Alanya is usually via Trabzon: take a local bus to Trabzon first, then a long-distance coach to Alanya Otogar, as there are more departures than from Rize. If you are already in Okurcalar, Alanya is about 30 km away and the local bus ride takes around 1 hour.

One option from Sarpi is to travel via Rize: first take a bus to Rize, then change at the bus station to a long-distance coach to Alanya. This route tends to have only about two departures per day, so connections are less convenient.
