Marmaris, one of the first Turkish holiday results to be discovered by British holidaymakers, is truly
the Jewel of the Turkish Riviera.Located where the Aegean sea meets the Mediterranean, the beautiful bay is famous for its yachting and cosmopolitan atmosphere.  Originally a fishing village, Marmaris now offers a wide range of accommodation ranging from guest houses to luxurious
5 star hotels.
Many restaurants and bars are along the beautiful harbour where you can relax and take in the spectacular view.  The famous Bar Street is just what it says, a street full of night clubs of every description which are open until the early hours.There are many boutiques, colourful bazaars and markets. You can find excellent leather and suede goods, copper and brassware, jewellery and carved of onyx. Turkish carpets, textiles and embroidery also make good souvenirs and the locally produced pine-scented honey called ‘cambali’ is superb.
The traffic-free promenade stretches from the Netsel marina all the way round the bay to Icmeler. The 5 km beach is mainly gritty sand.The sea is warm, crystal clear and perfect for swimming.All kinds of water sports are available and diving is very popular

GOKOVA
The number of inhabitants amounts in the winter to approximately 1500, in the summer it almost doubles. Its delightful position at the end of the Gokova gulf, bordered in the north by the almost 1000m high Sakartepe, in the south by the wetlands of the Gokova plain (heavens plain) with its multitude of species, particularly water birds, takes the visitor into its spell. Akyaka is one of the most beautiful villages you can sea on the Turkish Turquoise Coast situated right at the tip of magnificent Gokova Bay, on the road between Mugla and Marmaris. Make sure to stop over either to stay a few days, to experience the calm beauty of the pine forests and clean Mediterranean Sea or even a few hours to restaurants on the outskirts by the clear Azmak River, observing ducks and geese which live there year around. You wont regret it.

ICMELER
Icmeler (pronounced Itch-mel-air), just 8 km from Marmaris, is the quieter of the two resorts.Lying in a sheltered bay neighbouring Marmaris, its main attraction is its stunning sandy beach framed by rows of stylish hotels and apartments. There is many bars and restaurants, a few discos and nightclubs, and a good range of shops. Marmaris is only a 15 minute dolmus ride away. The accommodation in Icmeler is of a high standard and there are many restaurants of good quality to choose from at inexpensive prices. The resort of Icmeler is a perfect size and is an ideal setting for families and couples and those who wish to relax and get to know the locals and experience the tranquillity of the area . In the heat of the day Icmeler is quiet when everyone is lapping up the sunshine on the beach or poolside or perhaps on a day tour exploring the wonderful countryside, culture and history.Turkey really does have something for everyone - bars and cafes, traditional music and belly dancing. Beautiful scenery, ancient history, friendly warm locals with interesting culture and life. For the more energetic, a choice of water sports, night life and day tours are available. Or if you prefer try a boat trip to top up your tan.. Turkey – Icmeler - An experience of a lifetime and a place not to be missed!

TURUNC
Turunc fishing village with its coarse sandy beach lies just outside Marmaris bay. It has hotels of all classes and small open restaurants offering fish and chicken dishes.
The easiest and most enjoyable way to reach Turunc is by one of the many small boats plying between here and Marmaris. Alternatively the twisting road from Icmeler over the pine-clad hills offers a super vista just before dropping down 500 meters into the village.
