General presentation
Marmaris
Marmaris occupies a bay framed by mountains, with a very active port and a castle overlooking the ancient core. İçmeler extends the stay towards a handle bordered by pines, while Amos retains ancient remains near Turunç. The contrast between the seafront and the coastal reliefs gives this destination its consistency.
The discovery of Marmaris is structured around Castle and Museum of Marmaris, Old center and port of Marmaris and Bay of Čçmeler. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the coast, forests and heritage, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: Amos and Turunç are out of the center; check any forest restrictions. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Museum
Château et musée de Marmaris
The castle dominates the ancient core of Marmaris and houses a museum. His history is linked in particular to Ottoman preparations for the expedition against Rhodes, which illuminates the city's place in maritime traffic.
Walk
Vieux centre et port de Marmaris
Marmaris developed in a bay framed by mountains, around a port that became important for pleasure. The centre and its docks allow to read this evolution, in addition to the castle and coastal excursions.
Nature
Baie d’İçmeler
In the southwest of Marmaris, Îçmeler occupies a bay surrounded by reliefs and pine forests. The area combines seaside stay and walks, with possibilities of walking in height that depend on the chosen route.
Heritage
Site antique d’Amos
Amos is an ancient Caribbean settlement near Turunç, south of Marmaris. Its remains are located in a coastal relief area, separate from the city centre and the Marmaris castle.
