- The location is correct, if you arrive early you can turn at the end of the stabilized road and park your car.
- 200 meters down a path, follow it to the left. There are no steps, it's difficult with slippers, and it's also difficult to go back up.
- There are no showers as it is a protected area, there are lots of people who leave their garbage, there are 3 small flats and the early bird gets the place.
- It was quiet until 10 o'clock, but it got crowded after that, even though it was a weekday.
- The rocks in the bay are sharp, sea shoes are recommended. (Our feet were scratched and cut)
- Since there is no shower, 5lt of water can wash off the salt on the way back, there are also fountains on the way back by car.
- In conclusion, it is a very beautiful area, but it is about to lose its virginity. If a facility were built, it would be plundered, if not, it would be full of garbage... The place is full of torn slippers and sandals. At least take them and throw them away when you return, so we don't pollute the environment.

Gazipaşa Hole Sea King Bay / Antalya
Its natural structure, which resembles a lagoon formed by leaking from a door opening to the sea, and its deep blue water are called Antiocheia ad Cragum, or the Hole Sea.
The bay known as the "Hole Sea" is also known as King's Bay. It was formerly known as the Southern Castle. It is believed that King Antiochus bathed here, so it remained known as King's Bay for many years. The majestic walls you'll see on the hill, just as you raise your head, belong to the castle.
"The road down here is somewhat challenging, but not too challenging. It's up to you to carefully descend and experience this natural wonder. You can reach it by first driving, then getting out and walking. Unfortunately, there's no proper road down to the bay. You have to walk down a steep, dirt road. This walk takes about 5-10 minutes."
"King's Bay has no beach or sandy area; everything is rocky and stone. However, King's Bay attracts visitors with its indoor pool-like appearance."
"There are no toilets or showers, and no food or drink is sold. You need to come prepared."
If possible, go downstairs with shoes, not slippers.

Antiochia Ad Cragum
"While you're here, you can also visit the ancient city. There are still surviving structures from the Roman and Byzantine periods. You can see the city's agora, colonnaded street, church, and bathhouse."
There is no entrance fee.

We arrived early on a weekday morning. Around 8:30 a.m., there was no one else. We thoroughly enjoyed the sea. Around 9:30, local and foreign tourists started arriving. There's only one flat area where anyone staying the night can camp and light a fire. The rest is rock. After noon, the sun shines everywhere. I recommend arriving first and grabbing a spot under a zephyr tree or bringing an umbrella. There's no phone signal. You can take food with you. I really liked it and recommend it. It's early. It's suitable for family and friends. It's generally clean. I think this review will be helpful to many. Maps show the correct location. Those interested can contact enesf58. Amateur swimmers may not be satisfied. I recommend goggles.

Delikdeniz Kral Bay. Located in Gazipaşa, this unique bay takes its name from the natural arch between the cliffs. This unique structure, created by the sea breaking through the rock, both surprises and fascinates visitors. The sea here is turquoise like nowhere else. The only thing that breaks the silence is the sound of waves crashing against the rock walls. No sand, no noise, no rows of sun loungers… Just nature, the water, and you. And that's precisely where the allure of Kral Bay begins: everything is just as it should be.

It's a beautiful place, but there's no access by car. You'll have to navigate dangerous paths and steep slopes. Don't expect a beach, cabins, or showers when you reach the end, but it does offer a stunning view and a unique experience. ☺️

Important Warning: Not suitable for children. Families with small children should think twice, or even three times, before coming here. We made this mistake, but we won't repeat it. The consequences of even the smallest mistake can be dire. There's no phone signal. You can't call for help, and getting anywhere from there requires climbing narrow, steep slopes.
