Marmaris is a wonderful resort on the Aegean coast in Turkey. It is famous for its beautiful beaches, European level of recreation, youth hotels and incendiary night parties. In addition to a great beach holiday in Marmaris, you can get out on numerous excursions.
Without leaving Marmaris, you can find many places to stay. At night, walk along the promenade dotted with lights, it is a romantic place that will never get boring. During the day, you can see a fortress built in the 14th century in the old town. It is located in the very center, but finding the entrance to it can be difficult - you have to walk along the old streets, climbing higher and higher in order to find the fortress wall. But expectations will not disappoint you: inside there is a picturesque garden with flowers and beautiful peacocks, a small museum with antiques. And the most amazing is the view that opens on the bay of Marmaris from the walls of the fortress.
Yacht excursions
From Marmaris, you can go on a day trip by boat or yacht along the bay. During the walk, stops are made in picturesque places of the bay, where the water is clear and resembles ultramarine in color, as in the best photos from travel magazines. During this excursion, tourists will have lunch, as well as a visit to a fish farm. This excursion lasts from 10 am to 17-18 pm. The voucher can be purchased from the hotel guide and on the embankment, or immediately at the pier before the departure of the ship.
The famous excursion from Marmaris goes to Dalyan, the turtle coast. You can get there by yacht and bus, but tourists are usually taken by water. The Delta of the Dalyan River is recognized as a nature reserve, because a large number of rare birds nest there and large turtles caretta-caretta come to reproduce on the coast, of which there are not so many in the world. The clutches of turtles will not be shown to tourists, of course, but the animals themselves can be seen. In addition, on the same excursion, you can enjoy mud baths and sulphurous springs, beautiful views of the river and banks. This excursion will be interesting for both children and adults.
The beauty of antiquity
Lovers of antiquities and thermal springs will definitely like the two-day excursion to Ephesus and Pammukale, although you can take these excursions separately. On the first day, tourists will see the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus, which has remained almost untouched since its founding in the 11th century BC. Here you can see the famous Roman baths, the amphitheater, Hadrian's fountain, the Temple of Artemis and the aqueduct. Ephesus is an amazing city where you can see the very antiquity with your own eyes. And in Pammukale you can enjoy the thermal springs running along the white plateau and forming stalactites of amazing beauty. In this place, you can improve your health a little by wandering barefoot in the water.
The girls will surely enjoy an excursion to the Cleopatra Island, which is a reserved place and heritage of Turkey. According to legend, Mark Antony found this place for Cleopatra and brought there special sand that does not heat up in the sun. Usually beaches in Turkey are rocky, so sand is rare here. There are few tourists in this place, the sea waters are very clean, so a yacht excursion, lunch and swimming will be remembered for a long time.
In Marmaris, be sure to visit the hammam - a traditional Turkish bath, go to the water park, go on a jeep safari through the forest, rafting on the Dalaman River, see the islands of the Aegean Sea, visit the famous bar street where discos and parties do not stop all night long.
