Cosmopolitan charms of Marmaris, that used to be a fishing
village less than 20 years ago, will surprise anyone with a
choice of accommodation and entertainment. Marmaris is a
Turkish Rivera. Once you set your foot here you will join
its true vacation atmosphere! The old quarter of the town
with its bustling bazaars and restaurants are well worth a
visit. During the day, people head for the beach to do
catamaran trips, parasailing, water skiing, sailing, scuba
diving and the list goes on! Yet in Marmaris you are not
confined to the town beach. Icmeler and its beach is 8 km
down the road. Alternatively take advantage of one of the
boats that chug away in the morning from the marina to
scores of sandy beaches like Cleopatra's Island and the
Turtle Beach.
Once a little fishing port, Marmaris has developed into one
of Turkey’s busiest and most Anglicized resorts. Its port
welcomes luxury cruise liners, which disgorge passengers
keen to sample the town’s extensive facilities and visit the
archaeological sites nearby, just to name a few - the
ancient city of Efes, (the second biggest city of Roman
Empire, after Rome); another sightseeing place not to be
missed is Pamukkale, that is considered to be the 8th world
wonder. And much more! Marmaris also is South Aegean's
prettiest resort for scuba diving. There are several dive
centers in Marmaris that arrange guided diving trips,
excursions and even provide diving lessons for the
inexperienced individuals, eager to try out this underwater
sport. Shopping is a delight in Marmaris. Some truly shop
till they drop in this shopping Mecca! Leather goods of all
kinds, natural sponges and the local blue glass beads (the
Boncuk) are among the bargains to be found in the friendly
little shops along the downtown bazaar. Charming boutiques
at the end of the promenade offer kilims, carpets, sandals
and embroidery as well as original fashions.
