Entry note: Boat trip from Göcek or Fethiye; some gulet cruises include a stop.
Hamam Koyu takes its name from sunken Roman bath ruins visible in clear water near the shore. Pine trees come down to a pebble beach, and a warm spring seeps into the bay — locals call it Cleopatra's Bath, though the history is thinner than the marketing. Gulet cruises from Göcek and Fethiye anchor here for lunch and swimming.
“For a gulet-stop cove where history is literally under your feet in the shallows.”
Local tip
Bring mask and snorkel — the bath wall fragments are easiest to see before the afternoon boat crowd stirs silt.
Accessibility
