Additional Information

Embark on a day-long journey to Cleopatra Island with pick-ups from accommodations in both Marmaris and Icmeler. Along the trip to the island, there’ll be opportunities for swimming at Incekum Bay and near Fenerli Island.

Indulge in the warm blue-green waters and breathtaking scenery of Gokova Bay. A sumptuous BBQ lunch is prepared on the boat, featuring chicken or meatballs, spaghetti, salad, and seasonal fruits.

With over three hours of leisure time on Cleopatra Island, guests can unwind on the pristine white sandy beach, enjoy a slow-paced walk amidst olive groves, or explore remnants of the Roman amphitheater and fortifications.

The island boasts extraordinary sands, reputed to have been brought by Mark Anthony as a present to Cleopatra. The exclusive sand grains, minuscule and sparkling, can’t be found elsewhere in the world, leading to the beach being declared a National Conservation Area. Removing sand from the island is strictly prohibited.

Paradise on your doorstep! Beautiful trip and we'll organised - The trip is amazing and the service is outstanding, especially as a solo traveller. I got picked up from my hotel right on time, great communication and just a brilliant say so far. Cleaopatra Island is insanely beautiful and most importantly, I feel safe and looked after. Looking forward to the rest of this 5 star trip!! Highly recommend!! Thank you 😊

Brilliant day trip to Cleopatra's Island - Fantastic excursion to Cleopatra's Island today with 2 very happy teenagers! Not really enough time to do much on the island itself but the 4 swimming stops on the way back really made the trip. Diving into turquoise water is hard to beat! Lovely lunch aswell. Really can't fault anything and the Tourmania team were informative but not over the top.

CLEOPATRA Trip in Marmarice - It was wonderful. The chosen locations was lovely, I liked the cleopatra island itself and blue lagoon but it would be better if it was included in price the entrance ticket to the cleopatra island

Lovely day out at Cleopatra Island and other swimming spots - Enjoyed our visit to beautiful Cleopatra Island and stops at other beautiful spots on the return journey for a swim from the moored boat. All the pick up and drop off arrangements were very smooth and well managed. Gafar was very professional and helpful. We were expecting longer at Cleopatra Island ( the description said 4 hours but on the day we were told we had minimum 2 hours). Although we still had enough time to explore the ruins plus enjoy an unrushed swim at the beach, we suggest the description be updated to make the time period clearer.

Honest review. - Absolutely awful boat trip with many hidden extras. The actual boat is terrible, you have to sit on not very comfy chairs, unless you want to try and get a 'sun lounger' upstairs, they are just mats attached to the floor. The smell from downstairs where the toilets are will turn you sick. The food is mediocre at best, and if you wants chips (which most kids do), that's an extra 150 lira each. The soft drinks are all inclusive, but I hope you like coke, fanta or sprite, and I hope you like full fat, the bar is barely open anyway, and even if you do get one it's basically in a shot glass. There is an added charge to enter Cleopatra Island which is £12 each, this is after paying over £30 each for a ticket, and it's advertised as a Cleopatra Island Tour boat, but you get 2 hours on the island and if you go over your time then you have to find your own way back. The Island itself is absolutely beautiful, and the surroundings are spectacular, but you could swim in the sea for a much cheaper price with a different boat excursion. Save your money and book something else, there are many other boat companies who will take you to just as nice of a beach and sea, for a much cheaper price, and they won't charge you for entering a bit of land that for the most part, you can't even walk on. Stay well away from this absolute con and money grabbing excursion!!!!!
