Cruise from Antalya to Suluada Island for clear bays, swimming, sea turtle watching, a fish lunch, and coastal views near Adrasan.
“We weren’t even greeted by any staff upon arrival and were ignored by them all day. We’re never told where we were or how long we were staying at each place. Or that lunch was being served. Only that we see other people eating we realised. Drinks were so over priced. The places we visited were absolutely amazing though.”
Pick a coast, a lagoon or a kind of day.
