Marmaris
is stunning in a natural fjord like bay surrounded by mountains
thickly covered with pine forest has, how ever, made Marmaris into
one of the largest and most developed resort in Turkey. It's newly
expanded yatch marina. Turkey's largest, makes it also the main
base for most of the yatch charter organisations operating on the
Turquoise coast and stopover for most of the gulet cruises.

Within
the Old Town behind the harbour there is a maze of narrow bazaar like
streets packed with shops and restaurants. The Kaleiçi district, the
warren of cobbled streets at the base of the castle, is particularly
attractive with its old style houses and tiny traditional bars and
provides a complete contrast to the chic European loking marina and
waterfront. The Palm lined promenade leads from the Old Town a long
the lenght of the narrow greyish-black sand and shingle beach of Uzun
Yali which is overlooked by a jostling line of restaurants, cafes,
bars and night-clubs. |

Marmaris
is situated in southwestern Turkey at a point where the Mediterranean
joins the Aegean sea. 60 kilometers away is Mugla, while to the
west lies Datca. Travelling eastward will bring one to Köycegiz,
and directly north is the Gulf of Gökova. Dalaman international
Airports is only an hour's drive away.
