History and General Information / Local Legends and Folklore
Ayas Beach and the coastal promenade, stretching between the historical Ayas Castle and Kız Kalesi in the heart of Yumurtalık, is a unique coastline that combines the atmosphere of the ancient harbor with the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean. These shores, where Genoese and Venetian trade galleys anchored in the 13th century, are the legendary lands where the traveler Marco Polo set foot. It is said in the region that the warm breeze blowing from the sea in the evenings makes the sea water between the castles shine like a mirror and whispers the knightly stories of the past.
