About Marmaris

Marmaris is a Turkish Mediterranean resort around a deep, pine-fringed bay, with a small castle, a yacht harbour and ferries to the Greek island of Rhodes.

Marmaris sits at the head of a long, sheltered bay surrounded by pine-covered mountains, and the harbour is lined with moored yachts and gulets. The small castle above the old quarter was rebuilt by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1522, when he gathered his fleet here before sailing against Rhodes, and it now houses a museum. Whitewashed lanes of the old town lead down to the bazaar.
