Marmaris is a vibrant Turkish resort with a cosmopolitan atmosphere. It is ideal for holidaymakers looking to experience the modern and the traditional, under the blazing Mediterranean sun.

Home to the largest yachting marina in the country, it has a distinctly Western feel. On the other hand, the resort’s old town retains a typically Turkish charm.

The resort is a non-stop hive of activity. By day, Marmaris’ soft sands are awash with sun-worshippers and watersports enthusiasts. The winding streets of the old town will also be busy during the day – bargain hunters can negotiate cheap deals with local market traders.

Sightseers should take in the traditional Turkish baths at Armutalan, while nature lovers might be lucky enough to spot loggerhead turtles at the beach.

Come evening, the bars and cafes of the sparkling promenade fill up with tourists looking for a place to enjoy the spectacular coastal views. Further inland, the aptly named Bar Street is where much of the night time revelry will take place on a Marmaris holiday.
