Adrasan is committed to Antalya’s town Kumluca
and it became a municipality in 1996. It has an interesting bay covered by
pines. Adrasan takes opposite wind by land to sea and thus in years when the
wind power was dominant, sailing boats couldn't enter this bay and they
established civilization on Olympos, Phaselis and other Antalya harbours.
The name of Adrasan
comes from Greek and the town is also known as Çavuş village. Bay’s ground,
leaning its back to the Bey Mountains is sandy and its sea is shallow and
there aren't any highway in the surrounding. It is full of interesting and
natural excellences. For those who are interested in water sports, this
place is also a unique circuit.The temperature of sea water is high and
season lasts for too long. Its see meets the requirements of underwater
photographer with a clear underwater visibility range of 29 meters

Adrasan's closed bay has a
vast and long beach. You can get into sea from whereever you
want. Opposite the bay, Eliğ of the Musa Mountain attracts
attention with its silhouette resembling a camel. Markis hill is
situated at the entrance of the bay. If you climb up through the
forest from the either side of the bay, you will see how
aesthetic is the bay. If you are interested in environmental
trips, you should also visit Olympos, the antique city,
Yanartaş,fire never burning out in the mythological mountain and
the nearest touristical sights: Çıralı, Kaş, Demre, Myra,
Patara, Xantos, Phaselis and Antalya.
ADRASAN BAY, RIVER AND AROUND
Exit the Antalya-Kaş
highway and drive down for 22 km to reach Adrasan. Even if the
plane tree at the entrance of the municipality does not attract
our attention, you will enter a quite different world while
drawing near to the sea parallel to Adrasan River on your left.
If the ones who set off in the morning reaches the town after it
gets dark, this is even more interesting.

While the
river side is used for vehicle traffic, car parking facility; you pass
to the other side where our premise is located via the chain bridge
which is similar to the İstanbul Bosphorus Bridge system . Strip bulbs
lined up to show the design of both the bridge and the facility creates
a different atmosphere.
Special lodge terasses built in the
Adrasan river, flowing to the sea ambiguously and insatiable
ducks swimming around are surprisingly beautiful.
Thanks to the special stream of air,
weather acts like a natural air conditioner and humidity is
diffused. So you don’t feel the melting heat of Antalya along
the river. In January and February, the water level of the river
increases due to rains. Throughout the rest of the year, Turkish
and foreign tourists who want to spend a hot winter, enjoy the
variable and energic fresh air. Vacationists encamping under the
shadows of monumental plane trees, spend most of their time in
garden, terasse, the famous beach of Adrasan and sea. Along the
2 km beach of Adrasan, a district of Kumluca Town, the left side
of the bay is called Dere Mevkii. This river whose estuary is in
the Tahtalı Mountains shelters fishes such as sea basses, grey
mullets and trouts.
The hotels and
pensions are located in the right side of the bay, this is also
the point where the second street joins. There are trekking
tracks for those, interested in environment and walking. Between
Mavikent and Gelidonya, you can see the charming Oturak Bay and
its shore and beach, famous for being the calmest harbour even
when the sea is stormy.
If you go further from
Karaöz you will find the Papaz İskelesi Bay, serving as for the
day picnic area with pine trees. On the other side, the beach
that reaches Finike with a length of 25 km in Mavikent, the
largest shoreline of Antalya with , has a bright future.
Among the activities organised in Adrasan, the students and the
tourists who are enrolled in diving school can attend the diving
courses. Groups dive into a depth of 25-30m everyday in the
Üçadalar, Pırasalı Island and Sulu Island locations and students
are awarded with a diving sertificate at the end of courses.
While, the vessels
aproaching the Papaz Bay, delivers the fishes they have caught
to Reis Fisheries Firm, other amateur fishers can catch bigger
fishes with their fishing lines or harpoons in the rocky
locations.
