Finike Andrea Doria Bay

Andrea Doria Bay

Andrea Doria Bay lies on the Lycian coast of Antalya, between Finike and Adrasan. It is a peaceful bay known for its spectacular natural setting.

History of the Name

The bay takes its name from Andrea Doria, the famous Genoese admiral of the 16th century. He was the great rival of the Ottoman admiral Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha, which gives the bay a special place in Mediterranean history.

Local stories say that Genoese ships once sheltered in the coves of this coast.
