MARMARIS TOWN IS TWO HOURS AWAY

You can get to Marmaris from Sarigerme via Ortaca town if you decide to take public transport. Please see Transportation page on this site.

Much developed in recent years, Marmaris is now one of Turkey's most popular seaside resorts, boasting a wide range of facilities.

Marmaris is one of Turkey's major yachting ports and the modern Netsel Marina is an extremely popular mooring base which has berths for a large number of yachts. Lovely yachts ,few posh cafees and very expensive clothing shops ect.

An ideal location for shopaholics, Marmaris town centre is traffic free and filled with colourful markets and bazaars. Leather and gold shops abound, as well as stalls selling backgammon sets and evil eye ornaments.

At sunset make your way to the harbour and watch the world go by from one of the many bars and restaurants lining the seafront.

The general quality of restaurants in Marmaris is good, with many being of world-class standard. Most kinds of international cuisine are available, including Chinese, French, Italian and even English fish'n'chips.

Restaurants around the harbour and marina tend to be more VERY expensive than those further from the centre. For the best deal, there are also extremely cheap soup kitchens, which are generally located in the bazaar area.

Nightlife throbs into the early hours of the morning in Bar street, which you will find by going through the cobbled back streets behind the harbour. Here you can dance to the latest chart-topping sounds.

There is one main beach in Marmaris , covered with sun beds and umbrellas which can be rented.For a pleasant, early evening walk, stroll along the coastal pathway from Marmaris towards the neighbouring resort of Icmeler, around 8 kilometers away.

Don't forget that if you decide you have walked far enough, you have only to go to the main road and wait a few minutes for a dolmus back to Marmaris .

You could also catch a dolmus to complete the trip to Icmeler .

Icmeler - Sprawling across the bottom corner of Marmaris bay, Icmeler is steeped in similar and more natural beauty to Marmaris.

A smaller less busy resort, Icmeler offers its visitors the chance to take refuge from the hustle and bustle of Marmaris , as well as providing the opportunity to partake in a variety of water sports, including para sailing over the sea.
