Sedir Island, Archaeological site and island in Gulf of Gökova, Turkey

The largest of three islands in the Gulf of Gökova features ancient ruins, including a 2500-seat theater and several basilicas along the coastline.

The settlement of Kedrai on Sedir Island dates back to the 6th century BC and later became part of the Attica-Delos Maritime Union.

The Great Basilica, constructed with ancient materials from the 5th-6th centuries, represents the architectural evolution of religious structures on the island.

Access to the island requires transportation by sea, and the site remains closed during winter months from mid-November until mid-April.

The beach sand consists of perfectly spherical limestone particles, leading to strict governmental protection measures against sand removal.
