Cleopatra’s Island, also known as Sedir Adasi sits on the gulf of Gokava in the Marmaris peninsula. A popular destination steeped in urban legends of romance and passion, its name stems from a love affair between two of history’s most prolific people.

Called Kedreae in ancient times, present day myths refer to when the exotic queen of Egypt, Cleopatra spent time in the region. Although the natural landscapes and turquoise-blue sea captivated her, she was missing her homeland.
