Cleopatra Beach
Kleopatra Plajı
A fine-sand beach about 2 km long on the west side of the castle peninsula, with clear water and a gentle slope. It has been awarded Blue Flag certification several times and is Alanya's signature beach.
The beach is said to take its name from Cleopatra, who was believed to have bathed here. The sand is fine and soft, the water is clear, and the beach is backed by the castle's rocky cliffs. It has paid sunbeds, showers and changing facilities, and hotels and restaurants line the shore. The east end of the beach is near Damlataş Cave and the lower cable car station, and the paragliding landing area is also nearby. Summer brings big crowds, so going early in the morning or in the evening is more comfortable. Access to the entire beach is free.
