Adrasan is committed to Antalya’s town Kumluca
and it became a municipality in 1996. It has an interesting bay covered by
pines. Adrasan takes opposite wind by land to sea and thus in years when the
wind power was dominant, sailing boats couldn't enter this bay and they
established civilization on Olympos, Phaselis and other Antalya harbors.

The name of Adrasan comes from Greek and the
town is also known as Cavus village. Bay’s ground, leaning its back to the
Bey Mountains is sandy and its sea is shallow and there aren't any highway
in the surrounding. It is full of interesting and natural excellences. For
those who are interested in water sports, this place is also a unique
circuit. The temperature of sea water is high and season lasts for too long.
Its see meets the requirements of underwater photographer with a clear
underwater visibility range of 29 meters.

Adrasan's closed bay has a vast and long
beach. You can get into sea from wherever you want. Opposite the bay, Eliğ
of the Musa Mountain attracts attention with its silhouette resembling a
camel. Markis hill is situated at the entrance of the bay. If you climb up
through the forest from the either side of the bay, you will see how
aesthetic is the bay. If you are interested in environmental trips, you
should also visit Olympos, the antique city, Yanartaş, fire never burning
out in the mythological mountain and the nearest touristical sights: Çıralı,
Kaş, Demre, Myra, Patara, Xantos, Phaselis and Antalya.
With its bay, river and surrounding,

sea parallel to Adrasan River on your left. If the ones who set off in the
morning reaches the town after it gets dark, this is even more interesting.
