Cleopatra's Beach
Sedir Island, Turkey



Sedir Island is the site of an ancient Roman resort town (existing ruins include an enormous amphitheater and old city wall). But its Cleopatra Beach is purportedly made up of rare ooids (round calcium carbonate particles) from Egypt. According to legend, Cleopatra refused to step on any land other than Egypt, so Mark Antony imported Egyptian sands to Turkey so she could visit.
