distance. No excavations have been carried out on the
island yet. Although archaeologicial surveys have been
done. The island is covered by olive groves and brush,
in the small cove to the northwest is a beach where
according to a local story Cleopatra bathed. The strange
large grained sand thought to be composed of the fossils
of tiny creaturesis under conversation order,and watchman
is permanently staioned here to prevent visitors removing
it. The sea bed here is of the same sand and the water
is exceptionally clear. The legend relates that Cleopatra
and Mark Anthony bathed here after the Egyptian Queen
visited her Roman lover at Tarsus. They are supposed
to have sailed here and landed at Cedrae Island. Cleopatra
was so enamoured of he area that Mark Anthony had sand
from North Africa transported here by ship. Reportedly
this variety of sand exists today only in Tunisia. Their
baech is a popular destination of day trippers during
the summer.
