Orhaniye Marmaris

The picturesque Orhaniye Bay is located 30 km from the resort of Marmaris. It adorns Hisaronu Bay with an azure water surface and a long sandy road Maiden's Spit

Orhaniye Bay is a place that every guest of Marmaris should visit. The main natural attraction here is the famous Kiz Kumu spit, or Maiden Sand. According to legend, the girl scattered sand on the water so that her lover could find his way to her. In fact, this spit is a mixture of sand and small red stones that go 800 meters into the sea. This unique natural phenomenon allows you to walk right on the water, creating impressive photographs. However, time is against us - gradually the spit disappears under the water, and in a few years it may disappear completely.

In addition to natural beauty, you can see traces of ancient history here. On the slopes near the bay, the ruins of the ancient city of Bybassos, founded in the 3rd century BC, have been preserved. Orhaniye itself is an ideal place for a secluded holiday. A clean beach stretches along the entire coast, and there are small cafes and shops nearby. Despite the developed infrastructure, peace reigns here. The bay is reliably protected from the wind, so the water always remains smooth, like a mirror, reflecting the dense pine and stone pine forests.

You can get to Orhaniye from Marmaris in different ways, but the most exciting option is a Aegean Islands boat trip in Marmaris. As part of this tour, you will visit not only the Maiden's Spit, but also the islands of rabbits and wild goats, as well as the Aquarium and Semiliye bays. These places are ideal for snorkeling and diving, allowing you to enjoy the crystal clear water and rich underwater world.

Orhaniye is a corner where nature, history and peace come together. You can spend the whole day here enjoying the warm sun, the serene atmosphere and the amazing sea views. Don't miss the opportunity to see this natural wonder while it still exists!
