Hello travel lovers! In today’s post we dive into the unique beauty of Adrasan and its boat tours. Earlier we told you about the Suluada Boat Tour; this time we’ll cover every detail of the Adrasan Boat Tour, from its 2025 prices to the routes. Let’s start with a little historical and cultural context.
Nestled right beside Olympos, Adrasan remained an undiscovered paradise for many years. Why the recent surge in popularity? Thanks to technology and social media, Adrasan now reaches a wider audience and sits high on many travelers’ bucket lists.
Boat tours play a big role in this popularity. Especially in summer, boats depart daily for both Suluada and the stunning coves around Adrasan.
We joined one of these tours to share our experience with you. Cruising Adrasan’s deep‑blue waters and pristine coves was truly unforgettable.
This article tells you everything you need to know about the Adrasan Boat Tour. We hope it helps with your holiday plans, and if you find yourself in Adrasan, we highly recommend the experience. Safe travels!

About Adrasan
Adrasan is one of Antalya’s hidden gems. Sitting right next to Olympos, its peaceful shoreline welcomes you with calm turquoise water. Being so close to Olympos’s ancient ruins makes Adrasan a must‑see for both nature and history fans.
One highlight is its wide, 3‑kilometre‑long beach of golden sand, offering both relaxation and fun. In summer the sea shows off a thousand shades of blue.
The pier running along the beach is a launch point for daily boats to Suluada or to nearby coves.
Behind the beach you’ll find a riverside area perfect for chilling amid nature—enjoy the sound of flowing water along with tasty meals and cold drinks.
In short, Adrasan enchants visitors with natural beauty and a tranquil vibe. Pack your bags and head for its warm sands!
Adrasan Weather
Weather matters on every tour, and the Adrasan Boat Tour is no exception. Check conditions one day ahead—we’ve embedded a 5‑day Adrasan forecast above for you.
Note: Forecast data comes live from the Turkish State Meteorological Service.
Weather can make or break activities, but on a boat it’s even more critical. We’re usually carefree about forecasts on land, yet at sea conditions change quickly.
A calm day lets you swim, feel the breeze, and soak up the sun—but rough seas can bring motion sickness or anxiety, blocking you from enjoying the scenery.
If you’re not used to waves, even gentle rocking can turn a relaxing cruise into a stressful one. So plan with the forecast in mind; you don’t want nature to hijack special moments.
Ideally you want calm seas and clear skies—then every minute on board is pure joy. As you map out your route, keep one eye on the sky and the other on the water!
How to Join the Adrasan Boat Tour
If you’re staying in Olympos or Çıralı, your hotel can arrange the tour for an extra fee—convenient but slightly pricier.
Prefer to go straight to Adrasan? Arrive at the pier early, compare different boats and prices, and choose the option that best fits your budget.
How to reach Adrasan? A private car is the easiest. Cycling in summer heat can be exhausting, especially after a full day at sea, and there’s no direct public bus from Olympos. So consider driving or taking a taxi.
Driving is simple—follow the Adrasan sign right after leaving Olympos. Still, we suggest using your hotel’s shuttle: they pick you up around 10 a.m. after breakfast and drop you back in time for dinner.
Speaking of breakfast—eat well before you go! A busy, fun‑filled day awaits, and the shuttle returns you to your hotel by evening.
How Long Does the Adrasan Boat Tour Last?
The tour starts at 11 a.m. and ends around 6–7 p.m.—short on paper, but plenty of time for adventure.
The first cove is about 30 minutes away. You’ll spend 1–1.5 hours at each stop, with a similar break for lunch and swimming.
Including round‑trip transfers from Olympos, the total experience lasts roughly nine hours—packed with sea, nature, and fun.
Adrasan Boat Tour Price 2025
For 2025, the Adrasan Boat Tour costs between 900 and 1,500 TL per person, depending on your bargaining skills and peak‑season demand.
Given the experience, it’s great value—you’ll feel the price is well worth it.
Extras such as drinks or snacks on board are reasonably priced.
Unlike our pricey Ölüdeniz tour, nothing here will break the bank, so enjoy without worrying about your budget.
What’s Included in the Price?
The boats are 12–15 m long, run by friendly Adrasan locals—making for a cosy, generous tour.
Included services:
- Transport: Round‑trip shuttles from Olympos or Çıralı.
- Lunch: Included—details below.
- Fruit: Complimentary fruit on the return leg.
- Tea: Classic Turkish tea and biscuits mid‑afternoon.
- Warm hospitality: A family vibe money can’t buy.
- Guiding: Locals share fascinating facts at every cove.
Lunch & Treats on Board
Lunch is served around 12:30‑13:30. To avoid crowded Genoese Cove, Captain Mehmet chose the quieter Sazak Cove—perfect for a peaceful meal.
The usual menu: fresh fish with salad and pasta—one of the tastiest fish dishes we’ve had! Drinks are extra.
Later, there’s a tea break at Genoese Cove, and chilled watermelon or melon on the way back. Please keep the environment clean—don’t throw rinds into the sea unless the crew advises.
Boats Operating the Tour
About 10–15 captains run tours daily. Here are a few:
- Captain Engin’s Boat >>>
- Captain Ramazan’s Boat >>>
- Captain Yusuf’s Boat >>>
- Carpediem >>>
We sailed with Carpediem and loved it—so much that we joined their Suluada tour the next day. Highly recommended!
Boats are 12–16 m long. After the tour captains often hold friendly speed races—completely safe. All have toilets and fresh‑water showers. Our favorite spot? The lower aft deck—great views and easy water access.
Want a private trip? Contact Captain Beyhan Atalay (0539 488 13 03), skipper of Yakamoz, for custom routes.
Which Coves Will You See?
You’ll visit several coves. Wondering which ones? Let’s take a look:
- First stop after departure: Akseki Cove—an uninhabited spot where you can collect giant seashells.
- Next up is Sazak Cove, where you’ll stay about two hours for lunch and swimming, followed by the must‑see Genoese Cove.
- You’ll fall in love with Genoese Cove’s greenery and blue waters. After tea here, the next target is Pirate Cove.
Pirate Cove has refreshingly cool water you’ll adore. After leaving, the crew serves melon or watermelon—yum!
Before finishing, the boat stops at a sea cave reachable only by swimming; life vests are provided for non‑swimmers.
And that’s the end! One tip: at Genoese Cove you can try a mud bath—though Captain Beyhan warned us that wild boars use the area in winter, so decide for yourself
