View of Marmaris Bay & Marina.

Icmeler:

With a stunning backdrop of mountains overlooking the bay, Icmeler has to be one of the prettiest resorts in Turkey. Surrounded by natural mineral springs. Icmeler's name comes appropriately from the Turkish verb "icmek" which means to drink. Icmeler offers a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere and nightlife is centred around the cafes, bars and restaurants along the waterfront and the streets behind. A short stroll will bring you to the Old Village of Icmeler and a step into traditional life.

Marmaris & Icmeler.

Marmaris:

Once a tiny fishing village, Marmaris has developed into a lively cosmopolitan resort with plenty to see and do. Marmaris Castle, constructed by Suleyman the Magnificent in 1522 and is reported to have given the name to the resort. Arriving from Rhodes he found the castle to be smaller than desired and ordered his men to "mimari as" which literally means - hang the architect !

One of the larger vacation resorts, Marmaris is probably the most European of the Turkish resort towns on the Mediterranean coast, and a bustling tourist centre in the summer months. Marmaris also marks the start of the Turquoise Coast along the Mediterranean Sea. Built around an extensive natural bay at the foot of forested mountain slopes.
