The Basics
Adrasan, also called Cavuskoy, is located about 50 kilometers south of Kemer, within the Antalya province. Its crescent-shaped beach stretches for over 2 kilometers, offering golden sand and calm, shallow waters ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The surrounding hills and forests are part of the Olympos Beydaglari Coastal National Park, making Adrasan an excellent spot for hiking, camping, and birdwatching. The area is also famous for its boat tours, which take visitors to hidden coves, sea caves, and the breathtaking Suluada Island, often called the "Turkish Maldives."
Things to Know Before You Go
Adrasan is a peaceful, low-key destination with limited nightlife, so it’s best for those looking to relax. While there are small markets and eateries, it’s a good idea to bring any specific supplies you might need. The village has a variety of accommodations, from boutique hotels to simple guesthouses. Sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable walking shoes are essentials for exploring the beach and nearby trails. Don’t forget your swimsuit and snorkeling gear to make the most of Adrasan’s clear waters.
How to Get There
Reaching Adrasan from Kemer is straightforward and scenic. The most convenient option is by car or taxi, with the journey taking approximately an hour along the D400 highway. If you prefer public transportation, minibusses (dolmuş) operate between Kemer and Adrasan during the summer months. Simply head to the main bus station in Kemer and look for the route heading towards Adrasan. For those who enjoy cycling, the route offers breathtaking coastal views but requires a good level of fitness due to the hilly terrain.
When to Get There
The best time to visit Adrasan is between May and October, when the weather is warm and the sea is perfect for swimming. During this period, the area is lively but still retains its peaceful charm. July and August are the busiest months, so if you prefer fewer crowds, consider visiting in late spring or early autumn. The mild winters in Adrasan also make it an excellent spot for hiking and nature walks, though swimming might be less appealing during the cooler months.
