Adrasan, Kumluca

Instanbulites who left the city to vacation at coastal towns during the nine-day-long Eid al-Adha holiday are now heading back as the holiday ends, creating traffic congestion on some highways.

Tour boats that take thousands of holidaymakers on a cruise every year are getting ready to meet with the sea in Adrasan, which fascinates one with its turquoise blue color and unique beauty in the Kumluca district of the southern province of Antalya.

Turkish travel writers have listed the most 10 beautiful coves one can visit during a blue voyage in the Aegean and the Mediterranean Seas, with the Cove of Bedri Rahmi topping the list.

The cove in the southwestern province of Muğla's Göcek neighborhood is named after famous Turkish poet, writer, and painter Bedri Rahmi Eyüpoğlu, who died in 1975 at the age of 64.

With the sun rising over the sky, casting a reddish hue over the magnificent Mediterranean, the resort town of Adrasan in southern Antalya province is one of the best spots in Turkey to catch the sunrise.
