Cleopatra Beach

Cleopatra Beach stretches over the western part of the peninsula and offers visitors great diving conditions .

On land, on the other hand, you can take part in football, beach volleyball and triathlon games.

If someone still feels unsatisfied with impressions, there is a large Aquapark nearby. The famous Damlataş Cave (Dripping Stone) is located right next to the beach. The name comes from the water flowing from the stalactites, and the interior of the cave resembles a candle surface with solidified wax drops.

The microclimate in the cave is very beneficial for those suffering from asthmatic diseases, which is why it is often visited by people struggling with respiratory problems.
