Adrasan Boat Trips & Excursions
Adrasan is a small bay 80km south of Antalya, sitting between Olympos and the Gelidonya Cape. The village has no high-rise hotels, no nightclubs, no beach bars playing music at full volume. What it has is one of the cleanest bays on the Turkish coast, a working fishing harbour, and direct access to the Lycian Way walking trail.
Suluada island is the main reason people come to Adrasan by boat. The island sits 2 hours offshore and has no permanent inhabitants, no facilities, just volcanic rock beaches and water that runs turquoise to 15 meters depth. The mineral springs beneath the seabed keep the water unusually clear. Boat trips run daily from Adrasan harbour from May to October.
The coastline between Adrasan and Olympos is part of the protected Olympos-Beydağları National Park. The boat route passes Genoese Bay — a deep inlet with no road access, reachable only by sea. Snorkeling here reveals sea grass meadows and rocky reefs with good visibility most of the season.
All Adrasan excursions include hotel pickup from your accommodation in the Adrasan and Kemer areas. Boat trips include lunch onboard, snorkeling equipment, and return transfer. No upfront payment — you pay on the day of the tour.
Planning Your Adrasan Trip
- Best time to visit: May through October. Boat trips run daily during season. June and September are ideal — warm water, fewer tourists than July and August. Adrasan village stays quiet even at peak season compared to Kemer or Antalya.
- Getting there: Adrasan is 80km south of Antalya — about 1.5 hours by road. The last 15km is a mountain road through pine forest. Hotel pickup is included from Adrasan, Kemer, and surrounding areas.
- Suluada boat trip: The most popular excursion from Adrasan. The island has no shade — bring a hat and strong sunscreen. Water shoes are useful on the volcanic rock beach. The boat departs early morning and returns late afternoon.
- Lycian Way: The long-distance walking trail passes through Adrasan. Day sections are accessible without full equipment — the stretch toward Gelidonya lighthouse takes 3-4 hours and offers coastal views with no other tourists.
- What to bring: Swimwear and towel, sunscreen and hat, water shoes for rocky beaches, snorkeling mask if you have one (provided on tours but personal masks are more comfortable). Cash for lunch extras and village restaurants.
- Payment: No upfront payment required for any Adrasan tour. Reserve your spot online, pay in cash on the day — EUR, USD, GBP, or Turkish Lira accepted.
