In Balıkesir's Burhaniye district, the harbor remains of the ancient city of Adramyttium became visible after the Aegean Sea receded by approximately 40 meters following the recent series of strong northerly winds.

As the sea receded, small islets formed along the shore, and local residents noticed the newly exposed harbor remains.

Experts stated that a strong northerly wind had formed over the Aegean Sea and its surroundings after Feb. 4, causing the sea level to gradually drop, and emphasized that there was no cause for concern. They also noted that the receding waters were not connected to the seismic storm in Santorini, as some claims suggested.
