Adrasan
Adrasan, one of the most beautiful vacation regions in Turkey, has attracted a lot of attention recently. Adrasan, which attracts the attention of both domestic and foreign tourists not only with its sea but also with its history and nature, is surrounded by pine trees. While the beauty of the forests is prominent, it has also become one of the tourist attractions of Antalya. The beach in this region, also known as Çavuşköy, is famous. With a bay length of 2 km, Adrasan is 95 km away from the center of Antalya. Adrasan, which was a town in 1996, can be accessed via Kemer, the nearest district.
In Adrasan, which is connected to the district of Kumluca in Antalya, you can spend unique times among citrus groves, orange trees, lush forests, and bays while experiencing the sea and the blue together. In this city, where the holiday season lasts long, there is an underwater visibility of about 30 meters thanks to the clarity of the water. Opposite this city, which resembles a long beach, is Mount Musa. The Marquis Hill is located at the beginning of the bay. The forests rising on both sides of Adrasan actually make the location of this region more interesting. Those who want to discover historical beauties while hiking can visit Myra, Xantos, Çıralı, Demre, Kaş, and Phaselis.
Adrasan, which is 4 km from Kumluca, is actually called the hidden paradise of the Mediterranean. The name of this city, which has the best location for relaxation, is believed to be of Luwian origin. In other words, it is possible to visit this beautiful city, referred to in history as the land of the Mother Goddess, every month except the winter months.
