Kizilkum Bay is a paradise on earth in the Adakoy region of Marmaris. This is a unique experience as this gem of a bay can only be reached by boat. We will enlighten you about some interesting facts about Kizilkum Bay which has been a favourite place for many famous people in ancient times including Cleopatra who loved this area. To give you the best feeling of this Bay and history here is one of the legends about it.
According to ancient scriptures, a King’s daughter fell in love with a local Fisherman in Kizilkum bay. She was not allowed to marry him as the relationship was not approved by the Royal Court. The princess met her lover in secret at Kizilkum bay where she spent days and nights with him. The King caught his daughter on this beach with her fisherman love and ordered his men to fight him.
Deciding to fight him a boat set off to the bay and the fisherman seeing the light thought it was his love and came close to the beach. The Kings daughter on board fought with the soldiers and escaped. But she couldn’t get to him because of the bug stretch of water and then a miracle happened at that point when she jumped into the sea it turned to sand. She escaped to her fisherman love but the soldiers who followed her were sunk in the waters. The young fisherman was shot by an archer but survived.
Our tour then takes us from Kizilkum Bay towards the Dalyan delta to Iztuzu Beach. You have an opportunity to swim here in the crystal clear waters where if you are lucky you will see a turtle. This area is home to the famous loggerhead turtles locally known as Caretta Caretta Turtles. At this fabulous 7 km stretch of the Iztuzu beach, the view is just incredible beyond belief. Golden sands and a protected area.
A famous lady Kaptan June Haimoff has fought to keep this beach as natural and unspoiled as possible to preserve the beautiful animals. A breeding ground and nesting place for thousands of these incredible turtles. There is a University Hospital here for Turtles near this beach where the water is divided between freshwater and the salty Mediterranean waters.
