Kleopatra beach

Kleopatra Beach extends for about 2 kilometers with golden sand and clear Mediterranean waters in Antalya Province. Rocky cliffs frame the bay on both sides, creating a natural amphitheater-like setting for the shoreline.

The name comes from Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt, who reportedly chose this location for swimming during her time with Mark Antony. The area later became an important Mediterranean port under various rulers throughout the centuries.

The beach sits near ancient Alanya Castle, and visitors can see how local fishing traditions continue through family-run restaurants lining the shore where fresh catches are prepared daily.

The water here is generally calm and shallow, making it safe for families and beginners. Sunbeds and umbrellas are widely available, and facilities like showers and changing rooms operate throughout the peak summer season.

The sand here contains special minerals that help it stay cool even on the hottest summer days. Visitors often notice they can walk barefoot during the day without burning their feet, which sets this beach apart from others in the region.
