Cleopatra Bay (Bathroom Bay)

The bay, where the remains of the baths built in the Ancient Lycian Period are located, is the place where daily boat tours and blue cruise yachts stop most frequently among Göcek bays. In addition to the ruins of a bath, there are also the remains of a Byzantine Monastery in the bay. According to a rumor, the bath, which is said to have been built as a "sea bath" by the king of the city above, has nothing to do with Cleoptra. It was named Cleopatra Bay just because of its beauty.

Pine and olive trees, which make up the unique nature of Göcek bays, can also be found in Cleopatra Bay. The shores of the bay, which can only be reached by boats, are quite deep. Therefore, it is dangerous for children and non-swimmers to go out to the ruins of the baths.

The brown tones of history, the green and blue of nature are so beautifully synthesized in Cleopatra Bay that you will not want to leave here. After a nice swimming break in the sea, you can carefully go ashore and take a short nature walk on the paths between olive and pine trees to reach the ancient city of Lydae.

Cleopatra Bay, which is the most famous of Göcek bays and hosts thousands of tourists every year, is very crowded during the day due to the swimming breaks given by daily boat tours. If you have the opportunity, we recommend you to visit this place in the morning or out of season with a private boat. Don't forget to pack sea goggles and a pair of sea shoes on your way to the bay.

Entry to Cleopatra Bay is free. Transportation is provided by sea only.
