What to do and see in Marmaris, Turkish Aegean Coast: The Best Multi-day Tours

March 3, 2022 Jana Sager

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.

If you decide to book with Fez in Turkey, ask for Gosuk to be your guide! Gosuk or as many called him G is such an amazing tour guide. G took care of our small group and had exceeded my expectations. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Turkey and with his experience, knows a lot of people in the areas we visited. Due to low tourism, we nearly had all of the sites to ourselves to get our photos and avoid the pesky crowds. Despite covid and the restrictions on our trip, Gosuk had made arrangements to exceed our expectations. From bonus stops and sites to upgrading our stay at the Cave hotel. G also helped arrange a PCR covid test for me at the hotel prior to my departure back home. I am no stranger to travel but this was my first time booking a multiple day guided tour. I had many questions that Fez was able to answer and accommodate prior to my departure. Traveling this year requires some flexibility and willingness to pivot as we navigate through these tough times. All in all, I came to Turkey knowing next to nothing about the country and came out with a notepad full of notes and knowledge that I want to share.

Cabin Charter is a great way to enjoy the beautiful wonders of the Turkish Coast line and the Greek Islands. You may choose to enjoy the cruise on your own, with friends or family and the number of cabins is up to you. You don’t have to get a large a group together to rent a private yacht for a yachting holiday. You have the opportunity to enjoy a “Blue Voyage” together with a group of sea-lovers from all around the globe. It is a wonderful way to meet new friends from all different countries and cultures.

Perfect holiday with a very service minded crew on Northwind. The accommodation was good and the space on deck and in the cabins was enough to feel well. The food was really great but it would be nice with more variety. The route was well planned even though it would have to change because of medical reasons (the crew did an excellent job taking care of the sick person). To develop the concept it would be great with more time sailing and more time ashore. Because the best time onboard is when the engine is turned off and the sails gives a silent journey.

Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy this boat to the fullest due to Covid restrictions and some things not being allowed, such as the foam party. This was part of the reason we booked it for my son - however there wasn't really much children's entertainment either so that was a bit of a disappointment. However, the staff were friendly enough and still had good banter with the kids, especially Jack Sparrow and the guy who was doing the photography. The photos were nice but I think a tad over priced for me personally. But it was a nice momento for my son as it was his first time in Turkey and also out on boats at sea and swimming in the sea. The staff were very encouraging and helped get him in to the way as he was a bit apprehensive about it. We also enjoyed a short shopping trip at a small village, and lunch was lovely.

An excellent private tour by Neon Tours. Our guide, Ozcan (a university professor), was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The pacing was perfect and with the tranfers and lunch provided, this really was the best (and most reasonable) way to see the main sights of Istanbul. I followed previous reviewers and declined the visits to the spice and rug shops. Skip the Grand Bazaar (a most disappointing maze of knock-off merchandise) and shop down the local streets which have many charming quality items you actually do want to buy.
