Detailed itinerary

The symbol of Orhaniye beyond the borders of Turkey is Kızkumu beach reaching out to the sea from the land on a shallow path with its reddish color.
This shallow path that is formed by the division of the bay starting from the land as a result of dune movements is approximately 600 m long.
Kızkumu beach has lately become a popular spot for touristic Jeep Safari tours.
There are various legends of Kızkumu told among local people.
It is believed that this beautiful young girl’s grave is at the end of Kızkumu. This place is known as Kızkumu (meaning ‘the sand of the girl’ in Turkish) from then on.
When walking along this 600-meter long path in the sea, locals and visitors make a wish and believe that their wishes will come true…

The Selale is between Bayir and Turgut. Travel 5 kilometers from Bayir towards Turgut and you’ll see a sign ‘Selale’ by the road. Take a turn here and you’ll reach the ‘Selale’ by moving just 200 meters from the main road. This is not the largest or the tallest of the waterfalls you’d have ever seen. But it is pretty attractive and provides one a cool resting place. The Marmaris Waterfall is just over 4 meters tall and narrow as well. The area around the waterfall is a wide valley with forests and lush vegetation. This valley is cooler than the places around it and an exciting place to visit, especially during a hot summer’s day. The Marmaris Waterfall has ice-cold waters and you can enjoy swimming in the small lake below the waterfall. A 300 years old watermill near the waterfalls is an interesting one to pay a visit.

Bayir village is famous for its historical plane tree, ancient City of Syrna remnants and its Mosque. It is very exciting to take a break and have your coffee, tea or ayran (yoghurt drink) under the huge plane tree in the village square.
There is a historical plane tree of 2300 years of age in the village. Old Plane Tree is very popular for the travelers. Take a photo with the plane tree and drink ayran.
According to the legend, if you walk once around the old plane tree, it prolongs life. This is also written on the identity disc of the plane tree.
