Lengendary Kizkumu In Orhaniye Turkey : A Splendid Blue Cruise Anchorage
Once you pass the Orhaniye marina, ahead you will notice that holidaymakers are walking on water. Legend has it that the daughter of King Bybassos, who tried to escape from pirates, not knowing how to swim, fills her skirt up with sand and tries to pass across the cove. When she runs out of sand, she drowns. Kizkumu – “Maiden’s Sand” is name after this legend. As a result of dune movement, a shallow started from the land and divided the bay in two. The 600-meter-long strip is known as Kizkumu.
