Marmaris is one of the most popular holiday resorts in Turkey. Marmaris, with its population increasing to 100,000 in the summer months, is now a huge holiday resort city. The bed capacity of the hotels has surpassed 60,000 and it is possible to find hotels that will suit all types of budget. | |
The ancient name of Marmaris was Pyhskos, and the city was developed as a port of Caria. If you become overwhelmed by the heat of Marmaris go past the Netsel Marina, through the Yalancı Bogaz (Liar Straight) and then to the picnic ground of Gunnucek. The walking paths are ideal for a stroll amongst nature and away from crowds. The view is very picturesque. | |
