Bath Cove

Manastır Bay, also known as Cleopatra Hamam or Sunken Hamam Bay in the region due to an old Turkish bath with ruins in the water in the southwest of the bay, has tectonic coastal formations like many other bays in the bay.

When the slope of the hill just behind the bay is carefully examined, this tectonic structure and the channels on the hill that brought the waters of a crater lake that were active in the past to the shore can be clearly seen.

Monastery Bay is covered with pine trees and carob trees from coast to hill. An ancient wall structure running parallel to the coast in the northeast direction and other small ruins remind you that you are not far from the ancient city of Lydae in Lycia. You can reach Lydae from the Ağ Harbour, as well as from the Manastır Bay with a walk of approximately 1.5 hours. The Manastır Bay is a beauty that must be included in your itinerary for daily visits and overnight stays.
