Icmeler Cleopatra Island Boat Trip: Crystal Waters & Coastal Delights
Escape to the enchanting Cleopatra Island, where pristine beaches meet ancient wonders. Experience the magic of a legendary getaway with turquoise waters, golden sands, and fascinating history.

The journey itself is an experience, offering a chance to relax on deck and admire the natural beauty of the region.

This golden treasure is said to have been brought from North Africa by Mark Antony for Cleopatra, making it a geological and romantic marvel. You can stroll along the soft sands, admire their unusual texture, or simply bask in the sun while listening to the gentle sound of waves.
The island isn’t just about its beach; it’s also steeped in history. You’ll have the chance to explore ancient ruins, including an amphitheater, cisterns, and remnants of a Roman temple. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply curious, this is a chance to connect with the island’s rich cultural heritage.
Cleopatra Island offers a haven for swimmers. The island’s surrounding waters are calm, clear, and inviting, perfect for a refreshing dip. Whether you prefer floating lazily, snorkeling to explore the underwater world, or simply relaxing at the water’s edge, this is the perfect spot to unwind. The serene environment and breathtaking scenery make every moment feel like a dream come true.
The boat trip isn’t just about Cleopatra Island—it’s also about the journey. As you return, you can enjoy lunch onboard or nearby, savoring freshly prepared dishes with local flavors. The leisurely pace of the day, combined with the hospitality of the crew, creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, ensuring you feel pampered and relaxed throughout the tour.

I recommend this tour to anyone wanting a day away from Marmaris. They offer hotel pickup and drop-off, then a short drive to Camli village to board the boat. After 20 minutes, you reach beautiful Cleopatra Island with free sunbeds and a small café. Lunch and unlimited soft drinks are served on the boat, which stops at three clear water bays. After the trip, you’re returned to Marmaris. I really enjoyed it and will book again next time.
