Bringing you
the best of



Marmaris, Turkey

The huge bay of Marmaris stretches for miles with the busy resort town of the same name at its centre. Because of the popularity of this area it is no surprise that over the years other villages around the bay have grown to become holiday resorts in their own right, and we are pleased to bring you two of our favourites. The first is the delightfully quiet resort of Icmeler which is an easy 8km from Marmaris, whilst a little further over the pine clad mountains is the even quieter and ever so pretty village of Turunc.
Marmaris was one of the first Turkish holiday resorts discovered by British holidaymakers and remains a lively, cosmopolitan, historical and cultural centre. The large crescent shaped sandy beach stretches for about 5km with sunbeds, umbrellas and watersports for all.
In the evenings Marmaris boasts over a thousand bars and restaurants ranging from Burger King to the more traditional and classy alfresco restaurants. Bar Street offers just that with a great choice of clubs and bars where you can revel right through to the early hours. However for a really special evening put on your best and visit the modern Nestel marina for a meal at one of the sophisticated restaurants overlooking the elegant yachts, or laugh yourself hoarse at one of the great cabaret or karaoke shows (ask our Rep).


Sightseeing & Activities
Travel between all these resorts is simple, either by road with a dolmus taxi or by water taxi. For example a water taxi from Turunc to Marmaris takes about 45 minutes and the dolmus about 30 minutes. Everyone loves a bargain so try shopping at the covered bazaar market in Marmaris for your souvenirs, leather goods and clothes. Otherwise visit the outdoor market in Icmeler (Tuesdays) and Turunc (Mondays). Excursions and day trips from these resorts include a visit to Ephesus, one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in the world. Also worth a visit is Pamukkale, one of nature's phenomena where hot mineral waters flow down the mountain and have solidified to form snowy white pools - don't forget your camera.
