Nestled among rolling hills at the junction of the Aegean and Mediterranean seas, Marmaris is sure to liven up your Turkish yacht charter adventure. This bustling resort town is where the yachting beaux monde come to play. Drop anchor in the inviting harbour overlooked by a castle, and indulge in all that Marmaris has to offer.
Things to Do
Marmaris has always been an important coastal town and trade centre for centuries, due to its location on the intersection point of Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. Now the city is famous for its beautiful beaches and great diving sites. For a change of scenery than that enjoyed on the deck of your private yacht, there are scenic walking trails in the Atatürk Park.
For a touch of history, you can visit the Marmaris Castle, located in the old town. It’s currently a museum, chock-full of rare, well-preserved artefacts, and events and exhibitions are hosted on a regular basis.
Icmeler is a beautiful beach resort only 8 kilometres Marmaris. Discover private beaches where you can laze on sunbeds and swim in the crystal-clear water against the backdrop of magnificent mountains. It’s also particularly well-suited for children due to its soft, gently sloping sand. For a beach slightly more off the beaten track, try Cleopatra Beach on Sedir Island or Kumlubuk Beach.
Gourmet Experience
Step off your luxury yacht for a night of fine dining in Marmaris. The area around the Netsel Marina is known for a calm setting and many luxury dining options. Pineapple Restaurant is one such place, with an elegant atmosphere and a view of the marina.
You can also dine at one of the several luxury hotels in the area. The five-star D-Resort Grand Azur offers both the Steak & Bar Restaurant as well as the Palmiye Restaurant. There’s also a beach bar where you can enjoy a nightcap before heading back to your private yacht for the night.
Nightlife
The nightlife in Marmaris is vibrant and there are plenty of bars, discos and nightclubs to choose from. A chic option is Hix, a premier bar located in the yacht-lined marina. Bar Street, near to the marina, is a party-goers paradise come nightfall, teeming with bars and clubs. For a slightly calmer atmosphere, enjoy a cocktail in the Uzunyali (Long Beach) area, or relax at the Beach Bar at D-Resort Grand Azur.
