Tomb of Sariana

The Tomb of Sariana, Sarıana Türbesi
Turkey, Marmaris
In the 16th century, in the vicinity of present-day Marmaris, there lived the wise righteous woman Sarian, or, as she was also called, the White-skinned Mother, widely known for her prophecies.
Before the military campaign on Rhodes, Sultan Suleiman I turned to Sarian with a question regarding the outcome of the upcoming battle for the island. Having received a favorable answer, he ordered the siege of Rhodes. History mentions that during the siege, numerous jugs of milk were delivered to the hungry troops of the Sultan for breakfast, which was given by the famous soothsayer cow. As a result, the prediction of Sarian came true, and the crusaders were driven to Malta.
Sariana's tomb is located on the northeast hill of the city, behind the newly erected mosque. Even today, local women can be seen here coming to the tomb for advice.

I really wanted to visit this place, despite the fact that it is far from the tourist trails. I'm not sure how the name of this soothsayer is translated correctly (Blonde-faced or Fair-haired - different information everywhere), but I knew one thing - she made good predictions! And I so need a good parting word! And we went looking. The marks on the maps are not correct - they show that this place is on the territory of a military base. But, in fact - a tomb on the territory of the mosque. No money is taken here, but please be polite - don't dress for the beach.
