Marmaris holidays whip together a bunch of great getaway ingredients. The result's a belting blend of beaches, ancient architecture and boat trips.
Up-tempo vibe
Marmaris doesn’t know the meaning of half-pace, and the atmosphere here’s got a constant buzz. Restaurants and bars are ladled on thick by the waterfront, and the palm-poked sands switch from sun-kissed to neon-lit when evening rolls around. Dedicated partygoers know all about Bar Street, which has clubs that are as bold and to-the-point as its name.
Throwback town
Tune out the local nightspots, and there’s a wealth of historic sites to work your way through. Marmaris Castle is the name on most people’s lists. This turret-topped heavyweight dates back nearly 500 years, and the lofty ramparts deliver tip-top sea views. The city’s elder statesmen also include the Hafsan Sultan Caravanserai – an Ottoman inn that’s only a smidge younger than the aforementioned castle. Take a break from sightseeing by getting a scrub down at one of the city’s highly rated Turkish baths.
