Adrasan

Adrasan- the Calm Heart of The Mediterranean

Adrasan is a peaceful coastal village embraced by pine-covered mountains and a long crescent bay of turquoise water. Unlike crowded resorts, it keeps a quiet, authentic charm, where fishermen still sail at dawn and evenings end with the scent of jasmine in the air. Known for its calm sea, natural beauty, and friendly local life, Adrasan is a place to slow down, swim for hours, and feel deeply connected to nature.

The area lies close to ancient cities like Olympos and Phaselis, reflecting the spirit of the Lycian civilization. Today, it’s known not for ruins, but for its authentic local life, natural harmony, and timeless simplicity that continues to inspire travelers seeking balance and beauty.
