If you’re seeking a day filled with unique experiences, then this option is perfect for you. The exquisite white sandy beaches on Suluada Island are a rare gem in Turkey, making you feel as though you’ve ventured to more exotic destinations. This day trip promises complete relaxation and satisfaction as you explore the beauty of this island located just off the coast.
Suluada Island earns its name from the fresh water that springs up from underground, nurturing lush greenery across the island. It serves as a sanctuary for various plant and animal species, offering picturesque scenes perfect for capturing those Instagram-worthy photos. With two pristine beaches suitable for swimming, both adorned with the cleanest, finest, whitest sands imaginable, the island’s beauty is unparalleled. Combining the white sands with the transparent azure of the warm Mediterranean waters, you might mistake yourself for being in the Caribbean or even the Maldives rather than Turkey!
The boat departs from the ancient harbor of Adrasan, just outside of Antalya, and the journey lasts just under an hour. You’ll enjoy ample swimming stops during the excursion, with opportunities for some of the best snorkeling experiences available. A visit to the refreshing waters of Lover’s Cave will provide relief from the summer heat, allowing you to return to the boat and watch the coastline drift by as you relax.
