Marmaris flights and travel guide

About two million British tourists visit Turkey each year, many of them seeking flights to Marmaris on the Mediterranean coast. Marmaris is one of Turkey's most Westernised cities - its nightlife is lively, many of the bars and clubs on Bar Street stay open until 4am - but it boasts some traditional Turkish features such as bath houses.

Marmaris is a port city and boasts Turkey’s largest yacht marina. It's a great base for scuba diving too. Its beach is wide and sandy and a promenade stretches around the bay. Along the walkway are cafes, restaurants and pubs.

Several traditional fishing villages are nearby, their wooden houses notable for their traditional Ottoman construction.

Marmaris is a popular stopping-off point for cruise ships, and from there, regular ferries depart to the Greek island of Rhodes.

Marmaris insider information

• The bazaar is definitely worth going to. Even if you can’t take a carpet back home, sit and drink apple tea while you think about it.
• Marmaris was a thriving centre for sponge-diving years ago. Not surprisingly the scuba diving is good, and this could be the place to take the five-day PADI qualification. There is a sandy beach and many trips to other beaches nearby.
• Visit another country. The Greek island of Rhodes is easy to reach by ferry, and you land in the capital which is a bustling town, busier than Marmaris.
