This short break allows guests to relax, enjoy the fresh countryside air, and receive important information about the tour, off-road routes, and safety rules. Hisarönü also offers great panoramic views, making it a perfect introduction to the day.

Kızkumu Beach (Walking on Water Experience)

Next, we visit the world-famous Kızkumu Beach, located in Orhaniye. This natural phenomenon is known for its sandbank stretching into the sea, allowing visitors to walk almost to the middle of the bay while the water stays at ankle level.
According to local legends, Kızkumu is associated with romantic stories, making it one of the most photographed spots in the region.
