The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Marmaris, Turkish Aegean Coast

October 1, 2021 Toi Mattera

A gorgeous backdrop of pine-clad mountains looms behind the seaside resort of Marmaris in southwest Turkey. Popular as a cruise ship and yacht port and with the British budget holiday crowd, Marmaris offers an abundance of fast food restaurants, the restored castle of Suleyman the Magnificent and an appealing cobblestoned old quarter. Outside the busy town, coves and bays of the Datça Peninsula make lovely daytrip destinations for those traveling by boat.

Marmaris Castle

Reviewed By DavidB880 - Manchester, United Kingdom

Worth a visit and not expensive, about 14TL (£2). Advice is go early in day before the heat kicks in. Whilst in the area, can also have a wander through the old town which is at the back of the castle and then onto the marina area.

This is a lovely little museum and only a few lira to go in, while worth it even if it is just for the views at the top. Really enjoyed seeing all the artifacts and definately recommend at trip

A fabulous day out in the surrounding mountains of Marmaris! The views are stunning, and then you can drop down to the coast line with beautiful scenery . Highly recommend taking a trip out of Marmaris, our guide Seppo Kanerva was excellent.
