REGIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT MARMARIS

Marmaris is another resort city along the coast. The nature has been generous to Marmaris and environs. Mountains, pine woods and Turquoise waters meet in this region. However, the first minute you get to the city center, you will see the the usual architecture of any modern (less than 50 years old) town in Turkey: no character with concrete blocks. Unlike Bodrum which has a typical architectural character which is also enforced by the municipality and city laws. When you reach the sea shore you get a much better view of the town. Palm trees, Mediterreanean sun. Parks. Mountains covered with pine woods. Beautiful green. And the blue.

By looking from town center to the sea you may feel you see a lake. Unilke other towns along the Mediterranean, Marmaris bay is almost a closed one with a small passage to the Agean. The place is also considered the meeting point of the Agean and the Mediterranean seas. The town has a lot of bars, discos and cafes which are open April through November. The clientele is mostly European tourists, mainly package holidaygoers from UK and Scandinavia. Some Turkish tourists along with the locals crowd these places.
