- The lack of waves. The resort is located in a closed bay. Two seas are connected here: the Aegean and the Mediterranean.
- Water "holds" well, so Marmaris is the best place for children and people who swim poorly.
- The perfect climate. The city is closed from the winds by the mountains, storms almost never happen, even in the most inclement weather. The air temperature is slightly lower than on the rest of the coast, and in the hot summer months there is no exhausting heat.
- Clean beaches, which are marked by the Blue Flag - an international award awarded every year for coastal areas and moorings, whose water meets high quality standards and is safe for swimming.
- Unique nature. The city is literally buried in incense trees and pines. Forests cover 3/4 of the total area (65 of 86 thousand ha).

And Bar Street - the street of restaurants, bars, discos with incendiary music - is known throughout the world. The admiration for the guests is caused by the 12-kilometer promenade with one of the largest marinas in the world.
