The translucent and deep waters of the Gulf on the southern shore of the Bodrum Peninsula vary from the darkest blue to the palest turquoise, and the coastline is thickly wooded with
every hue of green. In the evening, the sea reflects the mountains silhouetted against the setting sun, while at night in shimmers with phosphorescence. After delicious lunch and a cruise

woman he was in love with. This legend caused the inlet to be called the "Cleopatra Beach" famous for its golden sands that are believed to be healing. Late in the afternoon, we leave the Island to anchor in Karacasogut. This small
