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 conservation 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. We hope your tour was a memorable one and we look forward to seeing you in the future.
