About this place
Cleopatra Beach is 2 km from Alanya town centre — walkable for hotel guests in Alanya, but for visitors from Side, Belek, Antalya, or Kemer the 60–185 km journey requires a confirmed return transfer, not a dolmuş that ends at Alanya otogar 4 km from the sand.
Cleopatra Beach (Kleopatra Plajı) stretches 2.5 km along the western flank of the Alanya peninsula, backed by Atatürk Boulevard and the coastal promenade. The beach carries the name from a historical tradition that in 41 BC Mark Antony gifted Alanya and its surrounding lands to Cleopatra — with legend adding a secret tunnel from Alanya Castle to the sand below. Whether history or story, the name has stuck. The beach itself is notable for its coarse golden sand that does not cling to skin after swimming, Blue Flag water quality, and the dramatic backdrop of Alanya Castle on the cliff above. Damlatas Cave, with stalactites over 15,000 years old, sits at the eastern end. The promenade is lined with cafés, bars, and shops.
The beach is free to enter, open at all times, and serviced by lifeguards from April to November. Sunbeds and parasols are available from approximately €3–5. Water sports — jet ski, parasailing, banana boats — operate from the sand. The combination of the castle backdrop, the distinctive sand, and the promenade makes Cleopatra Beach the defining beach destination in the eastern Antalya region. For guests based outside Alanya who want to reach it for a full beach day, the dolmuş from other resort zones terminates at Alanya otogar — 4 km short of the beach itself.
| Region | Duration | Distance |
|---|---|---|
| Antalya City Centre | 90–105 minutes | 125 km |
| Lara / Kundu | 80–95 minutes | 115 km |
| Belek | 100–115 minutes | 155 km |
| Side / Manavgat | 45–55 minutes | 60 km |
| Kemer | 120–135 minutes | 185 km |
| Alanya | 10–20 minutes | 3 km |
Approximate durations under normal traffic conditions. Alanya is the closest region — the beach is 2 km from town. July–August afternoons on the D400 approaching Alanya can add 15–20 minutes from Side, Belek, and Antalya.
4 key benefits
Benefit 1
All intercity buses from Antalya, Belek, Side, and Kemer terminate at Alanya otogar, which is 3–4 km east of Cleopatra Beach. From the otogar you still need a dolmuş or taxi to reach the sand. Dolmuş lines 1, 40, and 50 run along Atatürk Boulevard and serve the beach — but navigating bus changes after a 60–185 km journey with beach bags is not an efficient day. A MovXtra private transfer delivers you directly to the beach promenade.
Benefit 2
Paid parking near Cleopatra Beach fills by mid-morning in July and August. Visitors arriving by car regularly spend 20–30 minutes circling before they even reach the sand, then face a walk from wherever they eventually park. Private transfer eliminates the parking problem entirely — your driver handles the vehicle, and you step off the promenade directly onto the beach.
Benefit 3
Alanya's coastal strip is busy, but late afternoon — when beach crowds thin and everyone wants to return to their hotels simultaneously — creates a reliable taxi shortage. For guests from Side (60 km) and Belek (155 km) whose return journey is long, discovering no available taxis at 17:00 is a significant problem. A MovXtra return is confirmed for the time you choose, regardless of peak afternoon demand.
Benefit 4
For guests staying within Alanya itself, Cleopatra Beach is genuinely walkable — 2 km from the town centre, served by dolmuş lines along the boulevard, and easy to reach independently. The dolmuş option works for Alanya hotel guests. For everyone else, the calculus changes.
From Side and Manavgat (60 km), the intercity bus is available but involves Alanya otogar plus a local connection — roughly 90 minutes of transit for a 45-minute direct journey. A rental car solves the travel time but introduces the parking problem at the other end. A private transfer is the single-step solution: door-to-beach, confirmed return, no parking to manage.
From Belek (155 km), Antalya (125 km), and Kemer (185 km), Cleopatra Beach requires a committed day trip. Tour operators sell Alanya day packages from these regions that include Cleopatra Beach as a stop alongside Alanya Castle and Damlatas Cave — valid if you want the archaeology and the beach together. If the beach is the specific goal, a private transfer takes you there directly without a group itinerary and returns you when the beach day ends, not when the tour schedule says.
The return from Cleopatra Beach is the part that catches day-trippers off guard. Late afternoon on the Alanya coastal strip — when beach crowds head back to hotels simultaneously — creates a predictable taxi shortage. For guests from Side (60 km), Belek (155 km), or Antalya (125 km) who have made a specific trip for the beach, discovering no available taxis at 17:00 and a dolmuş that drops at Alanya otogar is not an acceptable end to the day. Your MovXtra driver is confirmed and waiting at the promenade at the time you specify — whether that is 14:00 after a morning swim or 18:00 after a long afternoon on the sand.

From Side/Manavgat hotels the journey takes approximately 45–55 minutes for the 60 km eastbound on the D400. Side is the closest major resort zone outside Alanya itself, making Cleopatra Beach a practical half-day trip from most Side hotels.
Allow 4 hours for a full beach day — the standard MovXtra waiting time. This covers swimming, sunbathing, a promenade lunch, and the promenade walk. If you want to add Damlatas Cave or Alanya Castle, extra waiting time can be arranged at booking.
Next step
Fixed price to Alanya's legendary golden sand — driver waits 4 hours so the beach day ends when you choose.
From Side/Manavgat, Cleopatra Beach is 60 km east — close enough to make a half-day beach trip worthwhile, but too far for a standard taxi to wait. A dolmuş requires a change at Alanya otogar and leaves you 4 km from the beach. A MovXtra transfer covers the 60 km direct, waits 4 hours, and brings you back — all at a fixed price confirmed before you leave the hotel.
