Batık Hamam Bay, also known as Cleopatra Hamam Bay, is a breathtaking bay located in Göcek Town of Muğla province. Cleopatra’s admiration for the bays of Muğla is seen in many points of this province. This area, which is thought to be from the Lycian period, is known to be a bay used by Cleopatra as a resting area. This historical bath built for Cleopatra during the Lycian Period was flooded over time. According to legend, Cleopatra swam here with Antony after King Caesar died. This bath was built for Cleopatra because she thought that these waters made her beautiful. In reality, it is thought to be good for many skin diseases due to the mixing of the elements in the volcano on the top of the bay with the water.
This bay is located off Göcek Island and the 12 Islands. Surrounded by pine and olive trees, you can dive into the deep waters of history. You can also visit the ancient city of Arymaxa on the hill. In the inscriptions thought to belong to Arymaxa, which is known as a right of the Lydai community, this people is mentioned only in this region. There are tombs, sarcophagi and rock tombs in this area, which is estimated to belong to the Byzantine Period. There is a small castle and a late period wall near the land connection connecting the mainland and the peninsula. When you climb this hill, you can enjoy the unique view of Gökgemile and Hamam Bays at the same time.
