Sedir Island

Cleopatra Island, otherwise known as Sedir Island is about 18 kms north of Marmaris. Cleopatra Island gets its name because it is said that Mark Anthony ordered special sand to be brought to create a beach for his Egyptian lover, Cleopatra. Certainly, the fine sand is altogether different from any other in the vicinity. It is said to have come from North Africa and is certainly similar to that found in Egypt. The ruins of the ancient city of Cedrae are on the island. They include the city walls and ancient theatre. The ruins on the eastern side of the island date back to the Romans and the theatre section is in particularly fine condition. On one side you will see the Agora where athletics festivals were organised to honour of Apollo.


Sedir Island is located near Marmaris (Turkey) 36° 59' 38.2380" N , 28° 12' 10.9512" E
