Marmaris
Turkey
The port
city of Marmaris is located in the south west of Turkey on the Mediterranean
coast. Marmaris grew substantially during the 1980's and is one of Turkey's
most popular tourist destinations. The town is set in an area of great
natural beauty, has good beaches and two large marinas which make it
one of the Mediterranean's top sailing centres. Blessed with the weather
that Turkey is famed for you are guaranteed long hot days on the beach
between May and October. Marmaris is one of Turkeys largest coastal
towns and is dominated by more modern development than a lot of its
neighbours, as the origins of Marmaris date back to before the 6 century
B.C. there are however some sites of archaeological importance such
as Marmaris Castle.
Night life
in Marmaris is lively and a fantastic range of bars, restaurants and
clubs for partying late into the night can be found along the main palm
lined promenade. Take a stroll around the maze of narrow streets in
Marmaris Old Quarter for a change of atmosphere, lined with old traditional
Turkish houses, small shops and quieter bars where you can enjoy a cool
drink after looking around the Bazaar. The near by Netsel Marina is
well worth a look as it is home to many visiting luxury yachts, there
is also a number of sophisticated waterside restaurants.
As spending
your days soaking up the sun on the beach many other activities are

diving centres to horse riding, jeep safaris and walking trips in the
beautiful wooded hillsides behind the town.
