Günnücek, Fake Strait and Paradise Island (Nimara)

It would be a nice change to give a break to the hot summer and spend a day in the forest on the seashore. You can go to Günnücek Picnic Area passing by Netsel Marina. There is a brook in that area, which supplies a special oil named sweetgum oil which is used in perfumery.

The natural headland which looks like a strait when viewed from Marmaris is named as the ‘fake strait’ by the local people. This headland connects the Nimara Peninsula ( Paradise Island or the Star Island) to the main land. This headland is being used as a yacht port today. The Paradise Island ( Nimara Peninsula) is alongside the Marmaris coast. The peninsula, together with the small Bedir Island is a stopping point for daily tour boats.

But if you wish, you can take a bus or your private vehicle to go to the ‘Fake strait’ which is 8 km from the town centre and walk to the Paradise Island. The footpaths on the Island form an ideal walking course

In nature , away from the town crowd, the views are beautiful. There are harbour restaurants and cafes around the wharf which is visited by boats coming from Marmaris. Do not forget the impressive caves of Paradise Island. A discovery tour following the footpaths will take you to the caves.
