Adrasan Antalya Cavus Bay - Çavuşköy Türkiye This region is a paradise for local walking and longer coastal trekking is especially good early or late in the year. Adrasan Bungalow Hotel on the Lycian Way Beach Holiday - Walking - Trekking At the beach Located in the protected natural pine in the scenic Turkish mediterranean bay forested and mountainous region of of Adrasan Kumluca to the Çavuşköy "Cavus-Bay" South of Antalya and East of Finike Dayco Bungalow Hotel - Adrasan Do you want to escape the package-tour massive concrete all-inclusives? It is still possible in the small beach-side village of Adrasan just to the South of the ancient ruins of Olympos City in the Antalya region of Turkey. This coast must be one of the most beautiful regions in the Mediterranean and Adrasan is one of the best small resorts for your vacation with a super bay and beach surrounded by pine forested mountains and no huge hotels. Dayco Hotel is different. Not a large concrete block of rooms but individual detached timber chalet cabin bungalows surrounding a small garden and on the seafront. Here you can relax and enjoy your holiday in a quiet peaceful setting. Chill out on the small restaurant bar veranda viewing great mountain and sea scenery and enjoy the company of passers-by popping in for a quick chat. Dayco Bungalows are well established since the early 1990's and the accommodation is continually upgraded to a good quality with thermal insulation, air-conditioning, hot powerful showers and w.c. all included. A water-main brings good quality water from an inland city supply. Stunning Adrasan Cavus-Bay (Çavuşköy) is a paradise for nature lovers attracting walking and hiking enthusiasts in the cooler months and families enjoying laid-back fun holidays in the summer without the hectic over-organised activities of larger resorts. A destination for relaxing - not a place for busy night-life. Hüseyin views his Bungalow Hotel – DAYCO – from the summit of Moses Mountain In the main season May though October you can enjoy a full day boat trip with one of the local Kaptans visiting natural uninhabited coves, beaches and islands. A freshly cooked lunch of either fish or chicken is included together with afternoon Turkish tea and fresh watermelon when in season. Also a bar on-board if you need a beer! Other attractions include smaller boats taking around 4 holidaymakers for private trips or fishing trips, canoe and pedalo hire, an excellent PADI dive school, tandem paragliding from the mountain behind Adrasan bay with well established professional company 'Kemer Paragliding'. In the heat of the day a relaxing lunch can be taken at a selection of restaurants on seating platforms set in a cooling river surrounded by ducks, geese, terrapins and occasionally a passing kingfisher. Along the coast are the historical sites of Olympos and Phaselis and there is even a cable car ride to the top of Tahtali Dag Mountain where on a clear day you can view the coastline for many miles. Adrasan is to some extent off the 'beaten track' but well worth the extra effort to get here especially if you want to get away for a complete change! Even if you do not stay at Dayco Bungalow Hotel you are welcome to call in and relax in the bar restaurant and pass the time of day with the owner Hüseyin who speaks good english. Private airport transfer from Antalya can be arranged and typically takes 1 hour 45 minutes by road mostly along the coastal highway through fantastic mountain scenary. This transfer cost is £50-£70 per vehicle (depending on party size and exchange rate) and is best arranged for you by Dayco Hotel. The driver will meet you at the Arrivals Door of Antalya Airport and display a name-sign. It is necessary to know which Terminal - normally Thomas Cook land at Terminal 1 and Thomson at Terminal 2. Internal flights in Turkey use the Domestic Terminal. During daylight hours a frequent bus service operates from all airport terminals to Antalya City Bus Station (Otogar) - this is Service 600 and can be found outside the Departures Entrance of Terminal 2 and the Domestic Terminal. Very frequent service coaches link Antalya Bus Station (Otogar) and also from Kaş to the Adrasan junction on the coastal highway but local minibus connections to Adrasan are only available in the summer season approximately every hour during daytime. Bus travel in Turkey is inexpensive but expect to more than double the time taken compared to a private transfer. The peak summer months of July/August are usually very busy for all hotels so book a bungalow well in advance. If you prefer come in the milder seasons of May/June and September/October.The weather is good and sea warm. Walking and Trekking around Adrasan Local seaside and hill track walking plus longer coastal trekking along the famous waymarked Lycian Way hiking route are popular early or late in the year, even in March April and November. During the holiday season of May-October when daily boat tours are operating it is often possible to arrange a one-way transfer to, for example, Sazak Bay to combine with one-way walking - 3hr trek to/from Sazak. Hüseyin the owner of Dayco is licensed to guide walks and treks. If you are new to the area and would like an introduction to the local tracks or the more demanding treks along the Lycian Way Route between Olympos - Adrasan - Gelidonya Point then guided walking is possible in the less busy Springtime and Autumn months. At these times of year a one-way vehicle transfer is a good idea to save covering the same ground twice and also the longer Lycian Way treks can take up to around 6 hours. Exploring in this way by using Adrasan as a base is more convenient and comfortable than carrying large heavy backpacks from one town to the next. Dayco Bungalow Hotel www.daycobungalow.com DAYCO BUNGALOW HOTEL ROOMS Dayco Hotel - 12 varnished pine panelled At the entrance to the garden is Dayco Restaurant & Bar timber bungalows set around a small garden. overlooking the beach and bay of Adrasan.

Adrasan Walking Guide Adrasan - a great holiday location for scenic local walking and as a base for trekking the 'Lycian Way' Walking Trekking around Adrasan - Antalya Türkiye Walking Trekking guide for Adrasan (also known as Çavuşköy Cavus-Bay) NORTH COVE and on to SAZAK BAY The walking route to "North Cove" (see map) is started at the very North end of Adrasan Cavus-Bay beach (North side of the river) by following the rising rough road passing Felix Bar climbing immediately above/behind the river hotels and restaurants. If the river is in flood use the road bridge adjacent 'River Hotel'. Walk along this rough road back towards the beach before meeting the rising road from Felix Bar. This rising road soon meets the Sazak Bay rough road heading back towards the coastline but higher. Kargıcak After about 15 minutes walking along the Sazak Bay rough road a narrower track heads down to Adrasan North Cove - KARGICAK Halfway down this track peters out at the head of a dried river gulley near a disused mine entrance. Look out for well trodden tracks sometimes waymarked with stones either side of the gulley down to the cove beach. Back on the Sazak Bay rough road the route continues to : SAZAK BAY (Length: Trekking from Adrasan Bay takes about three hours each way at a reasonable pace so take supplies with you. Also it is probably too hot to take from June thro' Sept'.) For Sazak just keep following the rough road ignoring the minor tracks that branch off. About half way along the North side of Adrasan Bay the road heads inland and crosses over the peninsular through a disused meadow area then heads down to Sazak alongside a river (bed).

Kemer is on the Gulf of Antalya, 53 km (33 mi) of sea coast with the skirts of the western Taurus Mountains behind. The coast has the typical Mediterranean hot, dry weather and warm sea. Until the early 1980s this was a quiet rural district but today the town of Kemer and coastal villages in the district play a very important part in tourism in Turkey. Tourism in Kemer One of the major attractions of Kemer is its natural beauty; sea, mountains and pine forest combine in harmony. The shore from Beldibi to Tekirova consists of unspoilt beaches in bays of various sizes, mostly stony rather than sand. With easy transportation, good communication and other municipal services Kemer has a large proportion of the hotel bed capacity of the Antalya region, and is a comfortable and peaceful holiday coast with internationally accepted reputation, attracting large numbers of visitors from countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and in recent years predominantly families from Russia.

  • Western Lycian Way – Group Guided
    Western Lycian Way – Group Guided Summary This Small Group Guided Itinerary cherry picks the best walks of the Western End of the Lycian Way and adds some stunning high mountain walks that will also give you the chance to meet and enjoy the company of the Nomadic Yörük people. We will walk on the coast, across grazing lands and through orchards and above the tree-line close to the snow- capped mountains (Ak Dağ) near Gömbe. This really is the best walking, history and culture that Western Lycia has to offer. The itinerary has a good deal of historical content and includes a boat trip over the sunken city of Kekova. We will also visit the three cities that at different times were the capital of the Lycian League. These are Xanthos the first capital, Patara the home of the Lycian Parliament building and Myra the bishopric of Saint Nicholas the source of much of the santa Claus legends. If nature is your “thing” then you will love the crystal blue waters where we can often see turtles in Kekova and Dalyan, the wetlands that are home to resident and migrating birds, the coast and coastal towns which host hundreds of storks and the rugged, mountainous terrain where eagles and buzzards soar. You will almost certainly find myriad lizards, the ubiquitous wild tortoises and occasional snakes. The wild flowers, particularly in spring are absolutely stunning. Turkey has over 9,000 species of flora of which 40% is endemic. If your idea of a great walking holiday is a good solid walking programme steeped in history, culture and nature, then you need look no further.

  • Eastern Lycian Way – Self-Guided
    Eastern Lycian Way – Self-Guided Summary Eastern Lycia is truly a land of ancient legends. There’s the Chimera, a fire-breathing beast laid to rest where its eternal flames burn to this day. Here you will walk amongst the legends of Homer’s Iliad, through the ancient city of Olympos. A city named after the mountain that was believed to be the home of Zeus and the gods and where Bellerophon stole a thunderbolt and rode the winged horse Pegasus to slay the Chimera. Legends of Homer’s Iliad Icon of The Lycian Way Moon Over Çirali from Chimera Flames The Gelidonya Lighthouse In the latter part of the itinerary we move to Üçağız. The name means three mouths and refers to the entrances into the Kekova Lagoon. The lagoon is home to a city that dates back to 400 B.C. and which, due to a massive earthquake in 144 A.D., sank and the waters rushed in to cover the vast majority of the city. The area surrounding the ancient city is dotted with remains from the Hellenic and Roman eras as well as some from early Christianity and the middle-ages. Our walks take us through a landscape that although modern by comparison has changed little for hundreds of years. Shepherds still tend their flocks and fishermen still tend their nets and life continues at a gentle pace. As well as walking you will have the chance to take a boat ride over the sunken city, to visit the hilltop castle of Simena, to swim and snorkel in the crystal clear waters around the islands in the lagoon.
