Turkish Maldives

Turkish Maldives – this is the conditional name of one amazing picturesque place near mainland Turkey, which is an island untouched by mass tourism. However, in recent years, Suluada has begun to rapidly gain popularity, which is why you should definitely visit this distant piece of paradise.

Adrasan Maldives island

Suluada – This is a stunningly beautiful Mediterranean island, which is famous for its white sandy beaches and the clearest azure water. Its exotic name, translated into English, means "water island", since the local waters are fed by rather impressive fresh currents. In the most ancient times, the island was called "Krambusa", and was completely uninhabited. Why is the island of Suluada so called?

Turkish Maldives where is it located?

The Adrasan Maldives is located not too far from mainland Turkey, which is why groups of tourists are so eager to visit this place. It brings an atmosphere of solitude and peace, and moving to it will be quite quick and comfortable – a little less than an hour.

Turkish Maldives boat tour

Suluada boasts a fairly compact and small size – only 1.3 kilometers long and 350 meters wide. Its volcanic origin determines the unusual color of the local land – bright orange. Boarding a boat as part of a trip called Tour Turkish Maldives takes place in the port of Adrasan, where there are many beautiful yachts against the backdrop of a picturesque sea bay.

Suluada Aquarium bay

In addition to the magnificent beaches for a measured island vacation, guests will have the opportunity to dip in two bays near the island – grotto bay and Aquarium. These places are extremely attractive for divers due to the absence of winds and excellent conditions for diving.
