The harbour of Marmaris

MARMARIS

The location of Marmaris, near the airport at Dalaman, makes it another ideal starting point for your cruise. Marmaris, originally ancient Physicus was on the Anatolia-Rhodes-Egypt trading route in olden times and became a large and prosperous city because of it. Today it is a mixture of the old town with very modern hotels lining the beaches.

Locals and holiday makers alike take a turn along the promenade to look at all the classical wooden Gulettes moored up to the town quay.

The beaches in this area are beautiful white sand and make an impressive white barrier between the crystal clear blue sea and the lush greenery of the pine forests that reach down to the waters edge. The mountains behind Marmaris make a wonderful back drop to this picturesque little town.

Marmaris has excellent marinas and the diverse shopping opportunities make it a good choice for either starting or ending your cruise.
