Marmaris guide
With a sheltered bay where pine forests meet the sea and a long waterfront, Marmaris offers one of the Aegean's most natural harbour views. It may be a departure port or stop on AROYA itineraries, easily combining the town centre with a seaside break.
The old streets around the castle, marina and bazaar are close together. More distant bays and excursions require planned transport that allows for your return to port.

The castle area is sloping and paved with stone. Wear comfortable shoes and carry water in hot weather.
