Hisarönü

At the 22nd km of the Datça road there is a turn off to Bozburun on the left. This road leads to Hisarönü which is only 1km away from the turn off. Hisarönü Village is at the furthest point of the bay which is named Hisarönü Bay. The village is a small distance from the main road. The sea is shallow here and the sand is a terracotta color. Hisarönü is another good choice for those who want to have a relaxing vacation far from the crowds of Marmaris. The weather is always windy and of low humidity. Combined with the clean water of Hisarönü, it is especially good for those who suffer from asthma. It is the best place for windsurfing around Marmaris. There is also a horse riding f acility. Boarding houses are also widespread. There are remains of a holy area named Kastabos between the village and the inlet. These remains belong to the Hemithea Temple.

In many beaches you can easily find drink and food. Kind beach boys will serve you whatever you want. All you should do is lay down, swim and sunbath.

MARMARIS CASTLE

According to historian Herodotusthere has been a castle in Marmaris since 3000 B.C. Long after this, during the Hellenistic Age, Alexander the Great invaded Caria and the castle was besieged. The 600 inhabitants of the town realized that they had no chance against the invading army and burned their valuables in the castle before escaping to the hills with their women and children.

The invaders realized the strategic value of the castle and repaired several of the destroyed sections to house a few hundred soldiers before the main army returned home. The 17th century writer Evliya Celebi mntions the castle, which was rebuilt by Kanuni Sultan Suleyman in 1522 when he invaded Rhodes. Since 1979 restoration work has been continuing at the castle in order to restore it near its original condition. Under the auspice of the Ministry of Culture the castle has been converted into a museum. There are 7 galleries, the largest of which is used as an exhibition hall and the courtyard is decorated with seasonal flowers. In addition to the permanent displays, cultural and artistic activities are offered.

For a visit of the Ottoman Marmaris remains start at the Caravanserai, an inn built in 1545, which includes seven small rooms and one large room. From Caravanserai walk up the stairs to the castle of Suleyman the Magnificent and visit the many galleries within, including a gallery of archeological findings. Enjoy Marmaris Bay views from one of the castle walls before making your way down the narrow winding streets of "Tepe Mahalesi" (Hill District) to view traditional local architecture
