Take advantage of the harbor’s close proximity to Marmaris’ Old Town and combine lunch at a waterfront restaurant with a visit to Marmaris Castle & Museum, which exhibits hundreds of artifacts from excavations across the country. The majority of Marmaris cruises depart from Marmaris Marina; sailing options range from romantic sunset dinner cruises to day trips to the historic Greek city of Rhodes, renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town.
From Dalaman International Airport, Marmaris Marina is a 1.5-hour drive via the D400 highway. Public transport options from the airport are limited so it's best to book a shared or private transfer service to minimize the cost of cabs.
Although Marmaris Marina is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, individual businesses operate different hours. The majority of restaurants are open throughout the day and many of the bars stay open until the early hours of the morning.
Thanks to a prime location on Turkey’s (officially the Republic of Türkiye) Turquoise Coast, Marmaris is a convenient base for explorations. Top day trip destinations include Marmaris National Park, typically explored as part of a horse safari; Cleopatra Island, renowned for its white sands and clear waters; and Dalyan, home to Lycian rock tombs and mud baths.
