Marmaris Flights and Travel Guide

One of the larger vacation resorts, Marmaris is probably the most European of the Turkish resort towns on the Mediterranean coast, and a bustling cosmopolitan tourist center in the summer months. Marmaris also marks the start of the Turquoise Coast along the Mediterranean Sea. Built around an extensive natural bay at the foot of forested mountain slopes, the town is the best base for some of the finest sailing on the Mediterranean, with a modern marina catering for private yachts and the Blue Voyage cruise business. According to legend the town got its name when, not finding the castle he had commissioned on the hill to his liking, Süleyman the Magnificent muttered "Mimari as" ("Hang the architect!").

Marmaris Insider Information

• The bazaar is definitely worth going to.  Even if you can’t take a carpet back home, sit and drink apple tea while you think about it. 
• Marmaris was a thriving center for sponge-diving years ago.  Not surprisingly the scuba diving is good, and this could be the place to take the five day PADI qualification. There is a sandy beach and many trips to other beaches nearby.
• Visit another country. The Greek island of Rhodes is easy to reach by ferry, and you land in the capital which is a bustling town, busier than Marmaris.
