CLEOPATRA ISLAND, GOKOVA - TURKEY
( Sedir Island )
It is known as Cleopatra's Island, a unique paradise with
its garden sands on Roman ruins, located in the Gulf of
Gokova. The area is enveloped in green hills and is
presently protected by a conversation order thus keeping the
remains from any damage. To reach the island from Marmaris
or Icmeler there is a 12 km drive through pinewoods and
farmland to the shores of a small bay where you will be met
by Turkish wooden fishing boats that provide the 20-minute
boat ride out to the island. You will spend dreamy hours
swimming in crystal clear turquoise water or take a walk
inland to discover the small Roman amphitheater, towers and
a church. People say that the soft white sand was brought
all the way from Egypt for Anthony and Cleopatra's honeymoon
pleasures. This special carbon based sand is very precious
and must be conserved so please shake out your pockets and
shoes before leaving the beautiful beach. |
