Full Description
Your adventure begins with a comfortable hotel pickup in a modern, fully air-conditioned vehicle. The scenic drive of approximately 2 hours takes you to the charming coastal town of Adrasan, located around 100 km west of Antalya, where your boat is waiting at the harbor.
As the boat sets sail, sit back and enjoy a relaxing 45-minute cruise across the shimmering azure waters of the Mediterranean toward Suluada Island. Along the way, your experienced guide will share fascinating facts about the region's remarkable nature and the protected marine bays you'll visit.
Your first stop is the breathtaking Suluada Island — often called the "Turkish Maldives" for its white sandy beaches and impossibly turquoise water so clear you can see straight to the seabed. Spend time swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing and soaking in the magical surroundings while capturing unforgettable photos.
The tour continues to a series of idyllic hidden bays, each with its own unique character. Some of these bays are specially protected as nesting areas for Caretta sea turtles, meaning the nature here remains completely untouched and pristine — a truly rare experience.
Midway through the day, enjoy a delicious 3-course lunch served fresh on board the boat, with options including chicken or fish, pasta, vegetables, and fresh bread. Drinks are available to purchase on board.
As the afternoon draws to a close, the boat returns to Adrasan Harbor, where your comfortable transfer awaits to take you back to your hotel — leaving you refreshed, sun-kissed, and with wonderful Mediterranean memories to last a lifetime.
