Why do people call Suluada the Turkish Maldives?
It is all about the water. It is shallow, very clear and bright turquoise above white sand and light-coloured rock, a shade closer to the Indian Ocean than to the Mediterranean. Nobody lives on the island and only boats can reach it, so it has stayed unspoilt.
How long does it take to reach Suluada from Antalya?
The coastal drive from Antalya to Adrasan is roughly two to two and a half hours, and from there you go on by boat. The day is long, but the transfer is included and the views on the way are part of the trip.

When should you visit Suluada?
Boats run through the warm season, from late spring until autumn. The water is warmest in July and August, when the boats are also busiest; June and September are quieter and still warm enough for long swims. Every trip depends on the sea conditions.
Can children come along?
Yes. Families love the shallow, clear water around the island. Pack swim aids for small children and sun protection for the whole group.
What should you pack?
Swimwear and a towel, sunscreen with a high SPF, sunglasses and a hat, water shoes for the rocky spots where you get in, a waterproof pouch for your phone, a snorkelling mask of your own if you want to use one, and cash for drinks on the boat.
