Setting Sail from Antalya

The allure of the Mediterranean Sea has always been irresistible to me, and the Suluada Boat Tour was the perfect opportunity to indulge in its beauty. As a marine biologist, the chance to explore the turquoise waters and white sands of Suluada Island was a dream come true. The day began with a comfortable pick-up from my hotel, a seamless start to what promised to be an unforgettable adventure.

The journey to Adrasan Sahili was filled with anticipation. The drive itself was a scenic delight, with the lush landscapes of Antalya unfolding before my eyes. Upon arrival at the port, the sight of the spacious boat waiting to whisk us away was exhilarating. The crew, including the ever-friendly Raul and Maqsood, welcomed us aboard with warm smiles, setting the tone for a day of relaxation and exploration.

Discovering Suluada Island

As we sailed towards Suluada Island, the azure waters of the Mediterranean stretched endlessly around us, a serene backdrop that was both calming and invigorating. The island itself was a sight to behold, with its exotic appearance and inviting beaches. The moment we anchored, I couldn’t resist diving into the crystal-clear waters, feeling the cool embrace of the sea wash over me.

Swimming at Suluada was a highlight of the tour. The water was refreshing, and the vibrant marine life beneath the surface was a delight to observe. With a life jacket for support, I felt at ease, allowing me to fully enjoy the experience. The camaraderie among fellow travelers added to the joy, as we shared stories and laughter, forming connections that transcended the day’s adventure.

A Culinary Delight at Sea

After a morning of swimming and exploration, we were treated to a delightful lunch on board. The meal, a delicious combination of chicken, pasta, and salad, was a testament to the local flavors and hospitality. It was the perfect way to refuel and recharge, preparing us for the next leg of our journey.

The tour continued with a visit to the Love Cave at Akseki Bay, a spot steeped in local legend and natural beauty. The cool waters of the cave provided a refreshing contrast to the warm sun, and the myth of the teardrops added a touch of romance to the experience. As the day drew to a close, we sailed back to the port, the sun setting on a day filled with memories and new friendships.

The Suluada Boat Tour was more than just a day at sea; it was a celebration of nature, culture, and connection. For anyone visiting Antalya, this tour is a must-do, offering a unique glimpse into the beauty and charm of the Mediterranean.
