Marmaris is one of Turkey' s premier vacation resorts, built around a sweeping natural
bay at the foot of steep pine covered mountain slopes.
Marmaris is a port city and a tourist destination on the Mediterranean coast, located
in southwest Turkey, in the Muğla Province.
Marmaris' main source of income is tourism. Despite a construction boom in the 1980s,
Marmaris still retains its charm due to the exceptional natural beauty of its location.
The district's population is 18 000 (2005) and estimated to reach 300,000–400,000
people during the tourism season.
It is also a major centre for sailing, possessing two major and several smaller
marinas. It is a popular wintering location for hundreds of cruising boaters. There
are regular ferry services to the Greek island of Rhodes, and large cruise ships
call at the port.
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.
