One of the important tourism centers in the Hisarönü Gulf is Orhaniye. Boats visiting the Hisarönü Gulf often spend the night in Orhaniye. The sea is always very still here. The shade of the pine forest falls on the sea painting the sea a very special color. People apparently walking in the middle of the sea attract attention. As a result of the sand movements, a high strip of sand is formed beginning from the land, which divides the bay in two. The strip around 600m long is called Kızkumu. There is a story about it. “A girl who wanted to meet her lover filled her skirt with sand. She walked in the sea filling the sea with the sand from her skirt. She drowned there because of insufficient sand in her skirt”.
There is an island in the middle of the bay with some castle remains. This castle is said to belong to the ancient city of Bybassos.

Wonderful Sea of Marmaris / Turkey
When you come to Marmaris you will see may be the most beautiful sea in the World.
Marmaris is on the interface of Mediterranean Sea and Aegean Sea.
Marmaris has a lot of bays. Every bay has different specifications. Some of them has beaches with lovely sand, some of them have rocks along the coast and some of them have seasides covered with little stones.
When you start to travel around on the sea by boat you can see little caves in the rock that mad by Mediterranean Sea
If you come to Marmaris by your own boat be sure that you did the write thing. Because Marmaris has plenty of bays that they are both little and big bays for yatch tourism. You will be able to have your own bay and it will not be so far away from the city center. Marmaris presents you many alternatives to access to bays. You can go to bays by boat, by your own yatch, by car or by options of mass transportation. You can reach bays easily then you can enjoy sea, sun and beach. Every beach has a style. Some of them are full of action, entertainment tools and party. You can choose whatever you are searching for. Be sure I will help you in time to make your choice.
You will lay on your chaise lounge and feel happiness. Sun is shining, sea smells wonderful and you can smell sun cream of your neighbour chaise lounge too. :-)
In many beaches you can easily find drink and food. Kind beach boys will serve you whatever you want. All you should do is lay down, swim and sunbath. In this point I have an advice that you should certainly eat fruits and corn that sold on beach. It is very delicious. And do not forget beer and fries.
If you like swimming too much Marmaris gives you many choices that includes beaches, boat trips, diving trips. I will give details in following posts.
