Marmaris is considered to be one of the most popular resorts on the entire Turkish coast. The city stands at the confluence of two seas: the Aegean and the Mediterranean in a picturesque bay, surrounded on all sides by hills and mountains covered with dense vegetation. Until the eighties of the last century in its place was a small fishing village. But everything changed when French tourists sailed here from neighboring Rhodes. They were struck by nature and climate, so they found it an ideal place to relax. Soon, the first hotel was built in Marmaris. And then the resort began to develop rapidly.
general information
