Marmaris is originally a Greek word meaning bright and sunny and this is a very apt description. Today, it offers plenty of accommodation ranging from small pensions (guest houses) to luxury 5-star hotels. Hundreds of restaurants, shops, hiking and other entertainment ensure that you are never bored.
The beaches are not the largest in the world, but are more than adequate for children and adults alike. The sand is mostly black sand and a little gritty. The beaches are not very wide and the upper half is covered in hammocks and parasols that can rent for a nominal fee if the hotel / restaurant does not offer. Many hotels have closed beaches and some even ship in very good sand from other areas. The sea is warm, very clear and perfect for swimming. There are some fabulous beaches within half an hour by car, so if the beaches are your thing, visit the island of Cleopatra, where the sand is said to be the best in the world
The famous Bar Street is just what it says, a street chock full of night clubs of all kinds that are open until 4 am
The beautiful harbour waters off hosts numerous restaurants and bars where you can relax and take in the spectacular sight. Netsel Marina is a major sports centre full of romantic restaurants, shops and boutiques. A look at the yachts in the harbor will tell you that Marmaris is an elegant and cosmopolitan appeal. The traffic-free promenade stretching from the marina all the way around the bay of Icmeler. It has a sophisticated ‘Riviera’ feel to it, vaguely reminiscent of St.Tropez.
There are many beautiful islands and villages to visit. Gulets are premises used boats to travel by boat and provide food and drink and a wonderful day. All kinds of water sports are available on the beaches, diving is very popular, make sure the dive company have the proper qualifications.
