PARADISE ISLAND IN TURKEY! SULUADA ADRASAN & OLYMPOS
hello everyone once again here from Turkey so in this video we're going on a bit of a road trip so the last video was in cash a beautiful beach town and we just rented a car from there so the car is 45 Euros a day but then we have to pay an extra fee because we're gonna leave it in Antalya we're not taking it back to the same place and that's pretty expensive so the drop-off fee is uh 60 Euros so drop it off there but yeah that's what we're gonna do so we're just driving along the coast now really a beautiful drive before it was mountainous but yeah right now it's a coastal one and every now and again a little beach appears and this part is pretty empty because we're kind of in the middle of nowhere so yeah kind of empty beaches really nice empty beaches so right now we're heading to a spot called Olympus and then after that we're gonna go to a place called adrasan which is where staying and from there we're going to be doing a boat tour tomorrow to an amazing Island that's the main reason that we've come here so from cash it's about a two hour drive but a two-hour beautiful drive oh foreign so we've arrived in Olympus now looks really cool really different so we're kind of surrounded by Forest everywhere cool Cliff similar kind of clips that we saw in like all of Denise so this place also has uh hostels it's more of like a hippie Backpacker place from what we saw you can definitely see that from the appearance of the the guest houses and uh restaurants it's hard to even know uh what's what gets all covered in trees yeah that's a restaurant I wanted to stay in one of the glamping places there are many options here but since it's so hot I thought it wouldn't be a good idea at least not in this time of the year it's a lot big summer yeah so we just had to pay 25 liters to pack and this is also an archaeological site Olympus so we got these tickets here for 90. so it's cool you get two in one it's a archaeological site and if you keep walking you arrive at the beach so I'm gonna get Beach and uh history all in one yeah so this place is an ancient Greek and Roman City from around the third Century BC now the ruins are still standing pretty well some sites that we go through are just a bunch of rocks on the ground right yeah but it's nice when we find the ones like this that are a bit more it says here that it was a church church number one so probably going to be seeing a lot of churches and it says that it only collapsed in 1969 because of a flood there is a river behind here right now it's dry foreign there's still a bit of water down there there's no water at all I don't know if this comes in from the sea got some ruins on that side too so the water at this pot is still flowing this looks like a man-made River because there's rocks on either side doesn't look natural yeah oh yeah over there he goes up to the top oh yeah all the way to the top I wonder if that would have been like a fortress or a castle okay it gets bigger and bigger than yeah definitely so in this building is the tomb of a leader that was called Marcos Aurelius from Olympus from this city and he served as the head of the lithian league I said his family is also in here so yeah there's like two tombs can't really tell which one this is maybe that one so here we have a sarcophagus which is exactly the same kind that we saw in cash we saw in quite a few spots pretty much identical so I did mention Lithia in uh some of the other videos so that that was this region at the time I think it's from like Dalian to modern day and Talia that was all called Alicia and this was one of the six major cities in the lysian league at the time oh that is extra nice and cool I like it yeah this thing seems to never end you go exploring more and more in the woods and other buildings up here like this one thank you so now we're bathing like the ancient Greeks and the Romans the water is very very cold it's ice cold yeah it's not just cold because something you know I have something so swollen yeah swollen like a big lump is that how you call it yeah big one and yeah I just needed a knife some kind of eyes to make it less um golden and this is this is what I have right now yeah this is definitely how they cool down back in the day because if it's like this in the summer I can't imagine how cold it must be in the winter so we come to a much nicer part now so this is one of the ruins with the tombs cows falling all over the place you okay with that cow yeah just get just get right in like me no too cold I just wanna put my legs should I go in well it's okay it's gonna be all numb yeah just go you won't feel anything it is ice cold swim house foreign look at this for a cool entrance to the beach so you have the river here incredible backdrops there and here we go the beach so we only decided to come here last minute because Carol saw a picture of the beach mainly because of that backdrop she saw a picture kind of like this this was the picture so we checked it out and then we found out that there were some ancient ruins there as well uh the water on this beach is super beautiful though really transparent water you can see it's a huge beach though so even though it's super packed here it looks a lot emptier down there looks like some boat tours come here as well because uh yeah there's a boat there maybe that's from where we're going to be staying yeah probably oh that is quite the view though foreign on the beach so we got a nice spot in the shade here so those are the castle ruins that we could see before it's either Castle or some sort of Fort my guess is a castle we saw a gate but it was closed you're not allowed up there anymore would have been cool to check that out foreign foreign which is about 20 minutes away driving from Olympus and this is where we stayed so as you can see it's a completely undeveloped area you still get the same like mountainous views just like Olympus and right now we're just heading to the beach because we're gonna do a boat tour which is the reason that we came to this region and the deal that we got is 250 per person which is good because it's a full day tour and that also includes lunch so yeah pretty good price and here's some of the glamping spots can do glamping around here pretty common and this right here is the main beach in adrasan so it doesn't look as nice as the one in Olympus but we still got the amazing mountainous view Carol said that almost looks like a volcano yeah yeah it really does look like a volcano also the good part of this beach is that it is Sandy oh yeah it was a family beach so this one is ending it's not white today but still is better to to swim and to lay down yeah to walk yeah I didn't I didn't notice that it is all Sandy so maybe yeah you would prefer this I think the water's still the same and the boat that we're going on is just over here somewhere so we've stopped at our first spot took about 50 minutes to get here and we're going to be staying here for about an hour and a half two hours from what the guy said it's like two little rocky beaches and we have no idea what's included in this store do we know there are a few stops before that and yeah but it's funny that we don't see any foreigners yeah I think this is still like a bit of a Hidden Gem for foreigners anyway obviously the Turkish know about it quite a lot of boats there thank you so the guy said we're only staying here so long because of the conditions very wavy right now I think we're supposed to go to some other place a cave or something because that's why we're staying here all this time but yeah I'm not complaining good spot to hang out for two hours definitely it's Beverly beaches hurt don't they yeah yeah some of the rocks are painful to walk on yeah we definitely like the sandy beaches more now it is food time so the food is pretty similar on all of the tours that we've been on to either get the fish or meat option this is just the chicken here and it's pretty much been the same isn't it like sometimes rice instead of pasta yeah we got loads of veggies too and bread and flies thank you all right now we're at beach number two this is a big beach hold this wobbly plank so they call this beach American Beach unusual name so the guy in the boat said it's because many years ago some American warships ended up on this beach they came to so ever since then the locals call the American Beach and he also mentioned that there's fresh water coming out of this rock that green area you can just see there's a green area all dry Rock then just this little green area that's funny they have like the pipe yeah the pipe and then the water's coming out with that as well all right freezing isn't it it is safe you can drink it so this is the first time that we're gonna have tea and biscuits on the beach I like the biscuits Carol mm-hmm tasty biscuits thank you foreign thank you so this is the island that we mainly did the tour for it's called suluwada and that kind of translates to water Island because there's supposed to be a fresh water source on this island didn't realize that we'd be stopping in the cave though so the guy said this spot is exclusive for him we're going to be here for an hour and then later on we're gonna go to one of the beaches there's like two main beaches around here he's just waiting for more boats to leave so it's more relaxed yeah the blue is so intense here isn't it yeah awesome yeah the guy said that the rock around here is kind of white on the floor so yeah that's why it's a different color oh yeah I'm not doing that I don't even know how he climbed over there that's some impressive rock climbing foreign pool you can see like light rays yeah I saw that once in a Cenote yeah I just reminded that to let me in Mexico yeah it's like we're in the Cenote here almost and now we have arrived at what I think is the last stop of the day and they saved the best till last I think yeah wow look at this place so we had tea on the left Beach and on this beach we got some fruit I think watermelon is one of the best fruit for beaches I've been using it every day here in Turkey yeah all the breakfast they have at home very good so the Island's very different to the mainland it's like orange kind of brown over there you got some weird color it's like a greeny gray a bizarre Island foreign so I'll put the contact info on the screen of this guy's door not doing a partnership with him or anything but it's just a really good tour his whole objective is to try and avoid the other boats since it's such a popular place like this place now when we arrived he said in 10 minutes all the other boats would be gone and yeah that's what's happened now so we're the only boat here and if it wasn't so wavy at the start he would have gone to some other areas where all the other boats didn't go yeah so it's a good tour to do if you want to avoid all the other people foreign so we live in address and now we're on our way to Antalya which is where the next video should be I really enjoyed our time here if we knew it was this cool and laid back and probably spent less time in cash and more time here really enjoyed it and one thing that's amazed us so far is just the mountainous scenery I know we've commented on that but we just really didn't expect it to be so much I mean basically after we left boardroom it's just this constant mountainous scenery until now and that's like seven hours over here driving so it's like seven hours of just epic mountains and maybe even going towards antaly is still going to be like that it looks like it so far so if you like this video just drop a like as usual to support us subscribe if you like to see more follow us on Instagram and Facebook and we'll see in the next one thank you
