A new route for every day in Adrasan.
Turquoise coves, ancient cities, coastal trails and Lycia's eternal flames are all within reach of Araz.
Between sea, nature and history.
Suluada and Adrasan Boat Tour
Daily boats departing from Adrasan stop for swimming around Suluada's clear coves and sea caves, often adding Akseki, Sazak or Genoese Bay depending on the route. Schedules can change with sea conditions.
Adrasan Beach
This long, mountain-framed bay is the easiest choice for calm morning swims, kayaking, sunset walks and an unhurried day around the beachfront restaurants.
The Lycian Way
The waymarked route stretches for more than 500 kilometres between Fethiye and Antalya and passes through Adrasan, offering everything from short scenic walks to demanding stages towards Gelidonya.
Ancient Olympos
One of the Lycian League's important harbour cities, Olympos brings together theatre, bath, basilica and sarcophagus remains along a forested route on both banks of its river.
Yanartaş (Chimaera)
Flames fed by natural gas vents have burned on this rocky slope for millennia and inspired the Chimera legend. They are clearest after dark; sturdy shoes and a light are useful for the stepped climb.
Korsan Bay
This small sheltered bay near Karaöz on the Lycian Way offers clear water and a pine-framed shore for a quiet swim. An early start is helpful during the summer season.
Gelidonya Lighthouse
One of the Lycian Way's most memorable sea views opens from this historic lighthouse overlooking the Five Islands. The exposed trail can be demanding, so choose cool hours and carry water and proper hiking gear.
Çıralı Beach
The broad pebble beach beyond Olympos is ideal for combining a relaxed day by the sea with an evening visit to Yanartaş. Respect local conservation rules and marked nesting areas.
Ancient Phaselis
This ancient trading city with three harbours combines aqueducts, a theatre, baths and a paved main street with pine forest and small bays. Check current hours and ticket information on the official museum website.
An Adrasan day at your own pace.
Beach, pool and sunset
Swim at Adrasan Beach in the morning, unwind by the Araz pool in the afternoon, then finish with a sunset walk along the shore.
Suluada and hidden coves
Join a full-day boat trip from Adrasan. Confirm the current route, weather and meeting time with a local operator such as Kuzey Yıldızı.

Explore the ruins and beach at Olympos by day, then complete the route at the Yanartaş flames, which are clearest after dark.
Before you set out
Boat routes depend on sea and weather conditions, while archaeological-site hours change seasonally. Carry water, sun protection and suitable footwear for the Lycian Way and Gelidonya trails. Confirm current conditions with the official source or operator.
