ANTALYA, TÜRKİYE - JULY 16, 2025: King’s Bay, set amid the ruins of the ancient city of Antiochia ad Cragum, draws both local and foreign visitors with its stunning scenery.

Located approximately 65 km from Alanya and 25 km from Gazipasa districts, the bay can be reached by passing through the historic site.

Surrounded by rocky cliffs, the site features a natural sea arch wide enough for boats to pass through, adding to its visual appeal.

According to legend, a ruler named Antiochos I once swam in these waters during the ancient period, giving the bay its name.

The area is also known as the “Hole Sea,” named after the striking rock formation with a large hole at its center that sits in the middle of the bay.
