Turgut

Turgut, 9k from Bayır, has just started to develop with tourism. The biggest carpet shops around Marmaris are in Turgut. Carpet shops and gift shops provide liveliness when tourists come to shop. There are many restaurants which offer fresh and tasty food.

Remains of the ancient ages attract the attention in the bay. Remains can be seen on a garden wall at the seashore and further inside on the Temenos wall which is thought to surround the holy Ygeia area. These remains are believed to belong to the city Hygassos.

Bozburun

We started to travel around Marmaris.... I tell you a little about Bozburun. You should see here... Bozburun is a nice part of your long Marmaris Trip...

Bozburun is one of the most secluded places of the region from the view of tourism. This place is recommended for people who are after a peaceful, relaxing vacation. There are not any large tourist facilities, all the facilities are small but good. Bozburun is in one of the bays of the Sömbeki Gulf. The environment can be considered as quite naked compared to other regions of Marmaris. There are small motels, pensions and good fish restaurants in the village. People grow their own vegetables in the gardens of their houses and collect eggs from their own poultry houses. Local people go fishing daily for fish and sea products. Everything within the village is in walking distance. Villagers use bikes to get around. Bozburun is famous for constructing schooners. There are many small shipyards and slipways on the shore forming an interesting view. Saranda district in Söğüt Village, which is only 5km away from Bozbururn, is the best place to watch the Sömbeki Inlet and Simi Island at sunset. The ancient cities of Taşlıca and Phoinix are also worth seeing.

Kumlubük

Kumlubük is located a little bit ahead of Turunç and famous for it’s restaurants beside the beach. You can spare either a morning or an evening for a walk to the ancient city Amos. Amos can be reached in one hour from Turunç and half an hour from Kumlubük by walking. Although Amos was one of the most important cities in ancient times, not much remains today. However, remains of the city walls and the theatre can be seen. The Necropolis is spread towards the slope of the bay

The City where the sea is at your front door

Marmaris is a large tourism resort with a selection of accommodation starting from small, quaint pensions to big holiday villages and 5 star hotels. Restaurants offer all kinds of cuisine from Chinese, French, Hindu and Italian to traditional Turkish cuisine; with many using the blended delicacy of natural herbs grown in the fast changing climate from the Mediterranean shores to the mountains. It is a resort where swimming is possible in the secluded bays as well as in front of the hotels in the city centre owing to the waste treatment systems and environmental controls . The sea is clear even in front of your door. The city has long beaches with fine sand, small bays, small islands, and strange looking rocks shaped by the sea and wind. 300 days of the year, the sun shines and the sea is a clear blue.
