When approaching the- harbour, a large hotel can easily be seen in Ta§biiku Koyu from the distance. However, it is very difficult to distinguish the islands from the mainland. At night, it is easy to see the lighthouse located in Orta Ada (FL.10s9M.) but night approaches are not recommended. Care should be taken of the shallow patch, 400 m from the West of Sedir Adasi (This rocky part is marked with a signal tower).
Anchoring is possible either between Scdir Adasi and Orta Ada or in the old harbour between Sedir Adasi and the land. Care .should be taken when approaching these shallow patches, which can easily be recognized. As the bottom is sand and grass, it is a good holding. Tasbiikii may be another alternative to anchor. However, it i,s not a good shelter from the wind.
Sedir Adasi is quire small but very interesting. Many people come to visit this island everyday, either by land or by sea. There is a road from Marmara to Gelibolu. Visitors come to Gelibolu by road and go to visit Sedir Ada.si by sea.

In the East, there is a theater, temple, agora, walls, cistern, harbour, and necropolis. Tnside the island there are underground vaults and a small city. Today there are olive trees inside the ancient theater.
The island became famous due to its beach, "Kleopatra Kumsah" rather than its cultural richness. The sand on the beach is very fine, and ivory in colour. It is an inorganic material, formed by biological and chemical movements of nature. This is very rare sand.
found in only a few places in the world, so it should be protected. There are two stories about the formation of this sand. The first is that this is the natural form of the sand.

The names of Cleopatra and Antonius can be seen on a marble script close to the ancient theater.
