Adrasan is the bay the whole day turns on. It sits on the west Antalya coast in the Kumluca district, a deep notch in the shoreline with pine-clad cliffs standing over the water — and it is where every Suluada cruise physically begins, whichever hotel you were collected from.
That is the single most useful thing to understand about this tour. Your pickup point changes the road leg and nothing else. From Side, from Antalya, from Kemer — all roads end at the same quay in Adrasan, at the same boat, at the same 09:40 departure.
The Side departure runs every day; the Antalya departure runs Tuesday and Thursday all year, plus Saturday from April to October. Both cost the same: €40 per adult, €30 per child aged 4–10, infants 0–3 free.
Below: what the bay is, what happens before the boat leaves, and what to do if Adrasan itself is where you are staying.
The Bay Itself
Adrasan lies west of Antalya, well past Kemer, on the stretch of coast it shares with Olympos and Çıralı. The mountains come down close to the sea here, the pines run almost to the waterline, and the bay sits sheltered between them.
It is a quieter kind of place than the resort strips further east — which is part of why the boats work from here. The island is close enough for a real day on the water rather than a long transit, and the harbour is small and simple to find. From the quay it is a short run out past the headlands, with the sheltered cove of Domuz Bay on the route and Suluada itself ahead.
Breakfast in Adrasan Before the Boat
Guests on the Side departure arrive with time to spare. Pickup falls in the 05:30–06:00 window, the drive west takes the early morning, and the boat does not sail until 09:40 — so there is an optional breakfast stop at Adrasan at around 08:30.
It is optional in the real sense: it is not part of your ticket and it is paid directly at the local restaurant. We do not mark it up, package it or require it. Some guests eat, some walk down to the water, some sit with a tea and watch the boats. If you would rather not spend anything before boarding, bring something from your hotel — there is no shop on the island, and lunch on board does not come until the middle of the day.
If You Are Staying in Adrasan
Then you are already there — and we will be honest about what that means. We do not run a hotel transfer product on this part of the coast. Guests staying in Adrasan, Olympos, Çıralı, Finike, Demre or Kaş meet the boat at Adrasan harbour by their own arrangement, in good time before the 09:40 departure.
We quote the same flat rate for the boat day — €40 per adult, €30 per child aged 4–10 — and we confirm it with you directly before you book, along with the meeting details for your date. The contact page has every channel, and the local starting point is covered on our boat tour from Adrasan page.
From the Bay to the Island
The boat leaves Adrasan at 09:40 and docks back at 16:00. In between there are swimming breaks at Suluada and the surrounding bays, and lunch is cooked and served on board: grilled fish or chicken with pasta or rice, Turkish mezes, seasonal salad, then fruit and Turkish tea. Drinks from the bar are paid separately.
Door to door the day runs about ten hours from the Side region and closer to twelve from Antalya, Kemer and Beldibi. In rough sea the harbour authority can stop departures; if that happens you are rebooked or refunded, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure. Booking is free online and you pay on the tour day — see the prices page.
