Cennet Island (Paradise Island)
Pine-covered island at the mouth of Marmaris bay, a regular swim stop on boat trips.
Cennet Island (Paradise Island) sits across the entrance of Marmaris bay and is joined to the shore by a narrow strip. Its pine-covered slopes drop into clear, calm water, with small coves on both sides.
Almost every Marmaris boat trip stops here for a swim, and the nearby caves and coves around the bay mouth are part of the standard daily route.
- →A good first stop for groups with non-swimmers — sheltered, calm water.
- →Bring water shoes: entry is rocky in places.
