Germany If you enjoy swimming or snorkeling in the sea, you shouldn't miss a boat tour to the island of Suluada and the bays near Adrasan (the starting port). The water is truly crystal-clear and turquoise, and snorkeling feels like being in an aquarium. We booked a 7-hour boat tour with three swimming stops (we arrived by rental car). Our expectations weren't particularly high at just under €60 for three people, including lunch, but they were far exceeded. Our boat was mostly filled with local guests, for whom this was obviously just a normal Sunday family outing. The language on board was therefore Turkish, but a young woman from the crew always translated the most important things into English for us. Lunch on board was also surprisingly delicious (turkey steak (or fried fish as an alternative), pasta, potatoes, and fresh salad). You are also welcome to bring your own food and drinks. Alternatively, there is the onboard bar with cold drinks, ice cream, and snacks – all not exactly cheap, but perfectly acceptable considering the otherwise very reasonable price of the tour. In the end, we actually had five swimming stops instead of the three we'd booked, and we were back in Adrasan right on time at 5 p.m. A truly amazing, unforgettable experience!
