Cleopatra Island – Marmaris's Most Glamorous Spot
Cleopatra Island is a unique place where you'll have the chance to be active, have fun, and explore ancient history. Fresh air, clear turquoise waters, beautiful golden landscapes, and fascinating historical sites guarantee an unforgettable holiday.
Cleopatra, or Sedir Island, is known for its huge golden beach and the charming ancient city of Sedre. The most popular and frequently visited spots on this beautiful island are the ruins of the ancient theater and the charming secluded beach in a small cove on the island's northwest side.
It's believed that Queen Cleopatra once bathed here, and that the pale pink sand on this wonderful beach was brought by ships from North Africa to please her. This type of sand can only be found in Egypt, and Mark Antony sent it to Sedir because his beloved Cleopatra was feeling homesick. On the eastern part of the island lies the Agora, where, according to inscriptions, sporting festivals were traditionally held.
The golden hue of the sand on this island's beautiful beaches is the result of a long process of shell dissolution. This is extremely rare, which is why the beach is under government protection, and visitors aren't allowed to take sand with them or lay towels on the beach, as the sand will stick to them.
