Cleopatra Hamam Bay is where the historical ruins coexist with the sunken baths in blue and green. According to the story, during Egyptian Queen Cleopatra’s visit to the Mediterranean coasts, her close friends decided to prepare this bath for her and give it to her as a gift, since they found out that there is a hot water spring in this bay. The hot water is said to be good for skin diseases and the beauty of Cleopatra is said to have its origins here. In the early hours of the morning you can see the sand moving at the bottom of the wreck. This shows them that there is hot water there.

Kleopatra Hamam BAY
The Bay of Cleopatra's Baths is just one of the must-see spots on Turkey's turquoise Mediterranean coast. Under the clear turquoise waters you can still see the remains of the ancient baths that Marc Antony placed there as a wedding present for Cleopatra. Spend some time snorkeling over the spot where Cleopatra herself once bathed. The once majestic baths were built in this particular bay because of the thermal waters that come out of a volcanic crater north of the bay. Here the water is clean and fresh and legend has it that bathing in it made the old queen so beautiful. Whether that's true or not, you're sure to love swimming in this stunning location.
