Yes, we stayed at the Emir http://www.emirhotel.com/ 4 years ago, and had a wonderfully relaxing 2-week break. We then visited the following year for an overnight stay, whilst driving around the area.

It is so laid back and quiet, compared to anywhere else on the coast. You must visit Olympos, and also try one of the local fish restaurants in the mountains. The other highlight is the Chimaera (sp?) although we never made the trip at dusk which is really the only worthwhile time to go. Other than that, there isn't that much to do, but then again, that is part of the charm.

Hope that you enjoy your trip as much as we did.

Thanks for the reply, sounds like our kind of resort, as long as it's not very commercialised, and there's somewhere to go for a meal & drink, we'll be happy. We're staying at the Mithat hotel.

Hi, We have just returned from two weeks at the Mithat hotel we had a great holiday, we have been staying there for six years now! It is very friendly family run hotel, the rooms are very basic but on the whole clean! Set right across the road from the beach with free sun loungers and umbrellas, the restaurant is lovely try the traditional casseroles really good!

Go right to the other end of the resort by the river and there are some beautiful restaurants in the river on platforms,the Paradise and Arikanda are the ones we went to both lovely. Wednesday at Arikanda they do a barbecue and the food was brilliant and so much of it.

Boat trips are really good to Water Island or Olympos, a lovely day out with lunch included of fish or if you don't like fish request chicken when you book.

The whole resort is still very Turkish and when you are there many turkish families will be on their holidays.

Most people I have to say find their first impression of Adrasan a shock but be there one day and you will love it! It is so relaxing and laid back and the people will do anything to make your stay brilliant.

Have a great holiday!

Thanks for the report Lady, glad you had a good time. Looking forward to it even more now, after what you've told us - we love resorts that are not too commercialised, and if the Turks go there for their holidays what more could we ask for!
Not long now, we fly out next Monday, but we're flying to Dalaman, picking a car up, staying in Olu Deniz for the first 5 nights, then setting off for Adrasan where we'll stay for a week, then drive back to Olu Deniz for the last few nights, so should be quite an adventure.

That sounds really good my two favourite places in Turkey even though they are very different! Mind your suspension on the road down the hill to Adrasan very bad!

Love to hear how you get on as something we would like to try.

Enjoy!
