In both Marmaris and Fethiye, hotels ranging from five
star all-inclusive to budget bed and breakfast are located on the seafront but
if you want to be away from all the action, look at staying in the Armutalan
area. Nightlife is mostly active on the well-known bar street by the harbour
and the beach front also has numerous bars and clubs open until the early hours
of the morning.

People who want to stay
in a cosier and traditional environment will benefit from choosing one of the
surrounding resorts of which a few include…
Bozburun is the home of traditional gulet boat building. Credited with constructing the vessels used to sail the Turkish Riviera, this is an ideal choice for people looking for quiet and rustic holiday spots.

Icmeler
is a 20-minute bus drive from Marmaris town centre and is a scenic resort,
fronted by a long sandy beach and backed by green pine tree forests. Water
sports are popular in this area. This is an ideal destination for families with
young children.
Honey, almonds, and fish
are the main attractions of the Datca
Peninsula. Beehives dot the mountainside while locals eagerly anticipate
harvesting time for the almond trees. As a fishing village, it is no surprise
to find fish dishes are top of the menu. Windmills also dot the coastline and
the nearby ancient ruins of Kaunos excite history lovers.

Turunc
has adapted well to foreign visitors because it has not given way to mass
tourism and still stuck to its original beginnings as a small fishing village.
This resort is a two-hour transfer from the nearest airport of Dalaman.
