5I’ve been itching to visit this island for ages, and the pics I’ve seen on Insta have always caught my eye. Even though the bus journey was super long, I had a great time and finally got to make my dream come true!

4You get to see some stunning scenery on the way, with the whole coast of Antalya and Kemer in view. The bus trip is great, and the boat trip is also interesting. The beaches on Suluada Island are particularly beautiful. But if you don’t like long journeys, this trip might not be for you. It’s a very long way to go – 200 kilometres one way, and the same amount back. It’s definitely worth thinking twice about travelling that far for a boat trip.
