Sea walk

Within a half an hour a morning shuttle will take participants from the hotel to the starting point of the journey, where they will be accommodated on a comfortable two-deck boat. During this fascinating sea walk you can sunbathe or relax in the shade. There are several stops for swimming – they will be both before and after visiting Sedir. Incredibly beautiful coves with picturesque views and water, bizarrely fluttering with different colours are chosen to enjoy swimming.

Cleopatra Island

This part of the tour takes 3 hours. In fact, its official name is Sedir Island. It is located in the most beautiful Turkish bay called Gekóva. It has clean coastal waters, unique nature and secluded atmosphere. The combination of the blue sky and the sea creates a feeling of infinity where the mountains and pine forests frame this incredible picture.

The beach is notable for its golden sand. Unofficially, the island is often named after the most famous queen. According to the legend, Mark Anthony brought here tons of Egyptian pearl sand for her. In such a way, the passionate lover earned the favour of the moody queen.

Regardless of the sand origin, it made the beach unique and is considered a national treasure. Unfortunately, the coverage is decreasing every year, although it is being preserved. For this purpose, tourists are not allowed to be on precious sand in shoes, to take it with them as a souvenir or to use a towel. No smoking on the beach is allowed.

Not only unique sand, but also incredible marine landscapes deserve attention. As you move away from the shore, the water changes its colour, creating beautiful blue-green-light blue streams.

Sedir

The ruins of this ancient city are a local landmark. The city wall is still visible on the island. Massive stone blocks stand out clearly on the shore. Although part of the construction has already gone under water.

In antiquity, this was the Temple of Apollo. Now it is notable for the fragments of columns resembling a cutaway heart. You can make a wish around this landmark.

The ancient city also resembles itself with the ruins of the necropolis and amphitheatre. Time and devastating earthquakes have not spared local constructions.
