Kleopatra Beach

Kleopatra Beach is a beautiful natural reserve located on the other side of Ayvalik. The beach is known for its interesting rock formations and the presence of a salty lake nearby which is home to flamingos. The water at the beach can be quite cold, even in June. The beach is not typically crowded, providing a serene environment for visitors. The beach is more suited for caravans and campers who travel with all their necessities as there are no man-made shelters or shade trees. The track leading to the beach is muddy, and visitors may also get to see wildlife if they visit during bird migration seasons. There are hills behind the beach that offer spectacular views, possibly even of the Greek islands. However, getting into the water can be a bit challenging due to the wild nature of the beach. Once in the water, the experience is akin to diving in an aquarium. Visitors are encouraged to respect the natural environment by not littering or lighting fires due to the presence of dry grass. Portable toilets are recommended for those planning to spend a significant amount of time at the beach.
