One of the most popular tourist sites in the Aegean region is Sedir Island. Interest is piqued in Mula’s Akyaka area by the ruins, natural wonders, and artifacts that are reminiscent of several local and international travelers. The ancient names Kedrae and Cedrae were also used to refer to the Sedir Island, which has been around since the sixth century BC.
The name of the island, originally known as Cedrae, derives from Cedrus, which is Latin for cedar tree and refers to the bushes, olives, pine, and cedar trees that surround this region. Greek and Helenic influences can be seen on Sedir Island, one of the major centers of Carianism among Anatolian natives. According to legend, the queen of the island, which joined the Attic Delos Union in 454 BC and was home to Cleopatra and the Roman commander Antonius, transported the island’s distinctive golden-colored sand to Egypt.
Actually, the island’s geomorphological rocks are to blame for this. The island has a beach that is not his wife in the world because of these sands, which are the product of the erosion of the rocks produced millennia ago. This island, which is protected by this land, is well-known for Cleopatra Beach in particular.
