Marmaris is a popular resort town located in the southwest coast of Turkey, South of the province of Mugla, where the Aegean and the Mediterranean Sea meet. Surrounded by Gokova Bay in the North the Mediterranean in the South, Datca in the West and Koycegiz in the East, typical with its long shore-line, Marmaris is a natural harbour. It has become a tourist's paradise with the large number of bays and antique cities in its vicinity, its natural beauty, it's famous Blue-voyage, it's yacht harbour for 800 vessels along with the possibility of engaging in all types of water-sports.
Marmaris is one of Turkey' s premier holiday resorts, built around a sweeping natural bay at the foot of steep pine covered mountain slopes. The old town is a maze of twisting little streets and alleys with whitewashed houses in the Turkish style amid an excellent shopping bazaar. The resort is ideal for water sports, sailing, relaxing in the sun, or strolling along the palm lined "Riviera" style promenade, or why not visit one of the numerous night spot or restaurants of the town.
The old part of town is a residential area around the castle. The old houses, all under preservation order and the narrow streets leading to them are a delight to explore: there are some classic examples of Mugla architecture on display. Marmaris later began to spread out around the castle hill and along the shore, but the growth of tourism resulted in housing being prohibited along the shoreline and planning permission granted only to tourist hotels. Marmaris is a year-round home for many foreigners, a large number of whom have yachts in the modern 700-berth marina. The population rises from 15 000 in winter to around 75 000 in summer due to available hotel accommodation.
