MARMARIS  

In winter it is a small fishing town. But in summer Marmaris is an attractively organized tourist resort. It is situated on the Aegean coast at the center of a scenically beautiful area of southern Turkey. The town lying at the head of a sparkling fjord is surrounded by pine covered hills with a backdrop of mountains.

Old Marmaris is clustered around an 11C AD Ottoman castle and many houses which have been restored to their original appearances.

The appeal of Marmaris is not the works of man but those of nature. Nature has endowed Marmaris with a wonderful harbor. There are regular ferry boat services to Rhodes from Marmaris. Marmaris is the best place to charter a Blue Cruise heading east along the Lycian coast.
