An entire army of tourists from different countries comes to the Turkish resort of Marmaris every year to spend an unforgettable vacation in an atmosphere of unrestrained fun. Leisure here is very diverse. Apparently, it was for this that travelers chose this small town on the Aegean coast. The tourist season in Marmaris is much shorter than, for example, in Antalya.

Therefore, some resort hotels receive guests year-round.
