Belkıs Tombolo (connecting the Kapıdağ Peninsula to the Anatolia mainland) is to the west, the Kapıdağ Peninsula is to the north and the Marmara coast of Anatolia is to the south. The Mola group of islands is to the northwest of the gulf. The main settlement of the bay is Bandırma, an industrial city and a port .[1]
