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.
