Akyaka Things to Do Tips by Tdiver

Sedir ( Kedrai ) island and Cleopatras' beach

A nice drive down south 30 mins to 1 hour max with the old road on your left in places.Follow the signs to Sedir island,not hard,and then catch the boat.Morning is probably calmer but rough it's not bad even in November with a cold wind as the boats can easily manage.Kedrai means cedar in Greek .The island is dissappointing with only 1 restaurant for services and with really only the beach Cleopatras' beach supposedly brought in on the orders of Marcus Antonius as a wedding gift for his bride and the amphitheatre the main highlights.This was an important port in older times but now not much remains.

River tour

Walk to the harbour and the first couple of boats do the river tour.An Autumn morning was not the best time but still 15 degrees warm and the slow cruise upstream and back for half an hour was all we could spare but worth it.The crystal clear water amongst the reed beds is amazing,you can see everything underwater.Several cafes and restaurants caught our eye also on the left bank.

Directions: The left side of town.
