Legend
Once upon a time In marmaris, in the souther coast of turkey,lived a young girl ( the daughter of the king ) who fell in love with a fisherman.
However,like all of us know,the love between a fisherman and a princess simply would not get the blessings of her father.
The princess secretly ever night would meet the fisherman.
Sadly it would not be that way for very long the king soon found out that she went out every night.
The king sent his soldiers to spy on her. The fisherman was no longer a secret.
The soldiers reported that she called the fisher man by sending a flashing light to him.
The king decided to set a trap and execute the fisherman.
The next night they caught the princess while she was sending a flashing light to him. The princess managed to escape from the soldiers and ran as fast as she could to warn her lover.She realized though that it would not be possible to reach the fisherman if she were to run along the beach, so she thought she would swim. A miracle happened. Wherever she stepped into the sea, the water turned into sand; and the sand turned back into water whenever the soldiers followed her. But, as she was reaching her lover, a soldier's arrow meant for the fisherman struck her, killing her instantly.
The people of Marmaris say that
when the blood of the princess got mixed with the sea water, it changed the colour of the sand.

It is a legend because the princess has unatural powers and she is famous for her unbelievable love.
Mountains bar the road to heaven, and only the good spirits can reach the Copper Range, whence the way is open to the Silver Mountains and the Hills of Gold. Evil spirits are blinded by the ineffable radiance of heaven. Their dwelling place is the depths of the earth, the entrance to which is at the spring of waters. There tarry the white and the black sheep, into whose wool the evil spirits penetrate, and are so conveyed to their realm on the seventh plane. On the white sheep they return to the earth's surface. Peris and dews are powerful, and both were witnesses of the creation of earth's original inhabitant, the First Man.
He would implant the deadly seed of sin in this favoured creature of the Almighty; and soon the First Man, all unsuspecting, received on his pure body the damnable spittle of the Evil One, who struck him therewith in the region of the stomach. But Allah, the all-merciful, the overcomer of all things, hastened to tear out the contaminated flesh, and flung it to the ground. Thus originated the human navel. The piece of flesh, unclean by reason of the Evil One's spittle having defiled it, obtained new life from the dust, and thus, almost simultaneously with man, was the dog created--half from the human body and half from the Devil's spittle.
