Marmaris is the do-it-all Turkish resort. A long bay backed by pine-clad mountains, a smart marina, a lively bazaar and a beach strip packed with bars, restaurants and all-inclusive resorts. It's big, it's busy and it's brilliant value.

Families love the water parks and beach, couples love the marina and the old town, and groups love the nightlife. Whatever you're after, Marmaris has a stretch of it, and your money goes a long way.

Things to Do

Unmissable Marmaris.

✦

Bargain at Marmaris Bazaar

Leather, jewellery, spices and rugs. Bargaining is expected and part of the fun. Start at half the asking price.

✦

Stroll the marina

Yachts, waterfront cafes and the old castle. The smart end of town, perfect for an evening walk.

✦

Boat trip to Turunc

A lazy day on the water, swimming in coves and lunch on board, ending at a quiet village beach.

✦

Jeep safari in the mountains

A dusty, splashy day trip into the pine forests behind the resort. Great fun for families and groups.
