During a hunting trip, the king's sick dog entered the clear waters of Şifne. Seeing that the dog that came out of the water got rid of the parasites on his face, the king immediately thought of his daughter and wanted to bring his daughter here with hope. The girl who entered the clear waters of Şifne was instantly healed. Later, the people who heard this changed from mouth to mouth saying healing mud and came to our day as Şifne.
