Marmaris Holidays - Resort Guide
Lively & Sophisticated Dalaman Region Resort
Marmaris is a resort on the southwest coast of Turkey. It is situated in the Dalaman region, about 60 miles from the airport. Holidays in Marmaris offer a lively, sophisticated resort with an attractive beachfront promenade that runs alongside the dark volcanic sand of Uzan Yali beach. There are plenty of opportunities for trying out a few water sports on Marmaris holidays, including jet skiing, diving and snorkeling.
Behind the palm tree lined promenade a selection of bars, restaurants and cafés provide a place to sit down and enjoy the picturesque sea views. The Old Town area of Marmaris is a fascinating place to explore, with its winding streets filled with shops and bars and attractive old buildings.
A 16th century castle stands on the hill overlooking the town and the coastline. Marmaris is built around a large natural bay at the foot of forested mountain slopes and has become a popular base for sailing enthusiasts thanks to its two large marinas. Marmaris Holidays are also famed for their vibrant nightlife, particularly on the very appropriately named ‘Bar Street’ where you can find a huge selection of bars, cafés and nightclubs, catering for a range of interests from music and sports bars to live shows.
To take a break from all the action, a leisurely stroll in the beautiful surrounding countryside or a relaxing traditional Turkish bath prove popular with many visitors to magnificent Marmaris. Hotels in Marmaris range from very affordable smaller accommodation to grand 5-star hotels. Self catering apartments are also common.
