Kuyanlık

Kuyanlık lies in the country drained by the Great Kuyalnik toward the Black Sea. The river ends in the long Kuyalnik Liman, a saline lagoon north of Khadzhibey. The name has been connected by some writers with a Turkic word for thick or concentrated water. In the seventeenth century the French engineer Guillaume de Beauplan described the liman as a lake separated from the sea and rich in fish.
