    3. Sedir Island

      We anchor at the island around 10:30 am. Our guests who wish can purchase the entrance ticket to Cleopatra beach, which is offered for sale on our boat. Guests who do not want to go to the beach can spend time on our boat. We stay on the island for two and a half hours. You can visit many ancient city ruins or swim and sunbathe on the magnificent Cleopatra beach. We leave the island around 12:30 - 13:00 and set off again with our boat. One of a trio, this famous islet (also known as Sedir Island) is home to a beach where, according to legend, Egypt’s pharaoh queen, Cleopatra, bathed with her lover Mark Anthony, sometime in the 2nd century BC. The story goes that Anthony ordered the sands from Egypt as a gift to his mistress — a tale perhaps borne out by the present-day sand. Made up of tiny, smooth seashells, it’s of a type that typically only hails from the Red Sea. Swim and snorkel in the crystalline waters, polish your tan, or stroll to the Roman ruins that lie nearby.

    CLEOPATRA & MARC ANTONY SEP-24

    A very well organised trip. Picked up on time from the Hotel with a 30 minute journey to the boat on the other side of the island. Food for the price paid was ok, and free soft/ Hot drinks. Swimming in the clear waters of Cleopatra Island to explore the ruins. You have 2 hours on the island. Not much left standing in terms of buildings, but just ruins. About the only thing left intact was the Amphitheatre & Panoramic views If you enjoy jumping off the boat into the sea, then this is ideal. You get taken to another 3 Islands to swim in the waters, but not to disembark. All round a lovely trip. There are other boat trips available from the main harbour in Marmaris, but we chose this for the Historical element. Peter & Yvonne Sep-24

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind comment :). We are very happy that you were satisfied.

    Romantic day out

    First day of our couple holiday and what a treat! Excellent value for money. Due to staying at the Marmaris Bay Resort (about a 15 min drive from the town), we selected a central hotel for pick up and caught the bus to our point for just under £1. Our guide and minibus were right on time. We were confident of this due to confirmation via WhatsApp the day prior. The boat was stunning with three tiers - the first for shade and the bar (soft drinks free), toilets below deck, and two tiers above with mats laid out for sun bathing. I recommend bringing your own towel as we did, as the plastic gets warm. After a short boat trip to Cleopatra Island, we had two hours to explore. €13 for entry and it was beyond worth it. We loved seeing the chickens and geese, the Roman ruins (especially the theatre), and we saw fish when snorkelling at the beach. It was a nice touch that the sun beds were free. A lunch was provided on return to the boat including tomato spaghetti, breaded chicken, a green salad and a basket of bread. Although simple, it was delicious and delivered in a timely fashion. We had three stops on the way back which provided opportunities to jump from the first tier and swim in the sea. Unfortunately, people ignored this and jumped from the second tier where we had set up camp which was a little off-putting, but no fault of the company. The music at times was often a little too loud, but varied. There were no delays on return to our stop and we were back on the bus to our hotel by 17:00. Highly recommend for a romantic adventure on your holiday. Thank you! We loved it!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind comment :). We are very happy that you were satisfied.

    Great day out

    I would highly recommend this trip. Super value for money, great hosts, ship was lovely, great features on board changing rooms, fresh waterctobwash off the salt water, the staff are so friendly. The island itself is a MUST DO trip, from both an historical view and the sheer beauty of the island. The swims in the bays on the way back were fantastic. Crystal clear, warm waters. We wi be back next year and wi donthisctrip again. I would highly recommend and is also great for families too

    This was a great trip, well worth the money. Cleopatra island is stunning! Definitely worth the visit. Also Arbek travel sorted out an initial problem with consideration and empathy so highly recommend them aswell :)

    Cleopatra Island Boat Trip, Lunch and Soft Drinks include ,from Marmaris: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marmaris.

    How much does Cleopatra Island Boat Trip, Lunch and Soft Drinks include ,from Marmaris cost?

    +

    Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marmaris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cleopatra Island Boat Trip, Lunch and Soft Drinks include ,from Marmaris take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marmaris is not rushed.

    Is Cleopatra Island Boat Trip, Lunch and Soft Drinks include ,from Marmaris worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marmaris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cleopatra Island Boat Trip, Lunch and Soft Drinks include ,from Marmaris?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cleopatra Island Boat Trip, Lunch and Soft Drinks include ,from Marmaris suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cleopatra Island Boat Trip, Lunch and Soft Drinks include ,from Marmaris?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marmaris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marmaris and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cleopatra Island Boat Trip, Lunch and Soft Drinks include ,from Marmaris start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marmaris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Marmaris?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Marmaris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Guided Ephesus Tour From Marmaris with Transfers and Lunch, Full Day Turtle Beach Tour With Lake and Mud Baths From Marmaris, From Marmaris: Pamukkale Hot Springs and Ancient City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Marmaris?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Marmaris?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Cleopatra Island Boat Trip, Lunch and Soft Drinks include ,from Marmaris?

    +

    Included: Soft Drinks Include; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Lunch; and Tour host. Not included: Gratuities; and Cleopatra Island entrence fee ( 12€ per person ). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Is Cleopatra Island Boat Trip, Lunch and Soft Drinks include ,from Marmaris wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
