Places to Visit in Marmaris
"We only have one day, so this is the perfect Marmaris yacht charter for you. Which of the places to visit in Marmaris should we prioritize?" All the Marmaris residents we asked gave the same answer: Turunç! Turunç, where history, nature, and the sea intertwine, is arguably the most beautiful corner of Marmaris Bay. The road leading to the town, located approximately 21 km from the city center, offers such stunning views that renting a car in Marmaris is a must. Turunç Village and its surrounding area, which offers swimming seven months a year, are also excellent for nature walks and water sports. However, the natural beauty isn't the only reason this region is a major tourist destination. Amos, a Carian city, is one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions. This open-air museum, perched on a hill, will captivate you with its magnificent views as well as its ruins.
After visiting Amos, you can head to Kumlubük, one of Turunç's most beautiful bays. After getting close to nature and history, you can reward yourself with Kumlubük's magnificent sea.
Enjoy an Evening in Marmaris
This magnificent day spent first in Turunç and then in Selimiye deserves a wonderful dinner. The endless variety of dinner options can make it difficult to choose. For dinner, you can choose a place that offers a magnificent view, the sound of the waves, and delicious flavors. Try the sea bass, stuffed zucchini flowers, fried calamari, stuffed mullet, sour fish, or charcoal-grilled marinated sea bass. You can also try the famous octopus pilaf for dinner. If you prefer red meat for dinner, you can choose stuffed breast or the çökertme kebab.
