While Selimiye offers several guest houses, most visitors only stop by for an afternoon or a full day of sightseeing. The most enjoyable way to visit is by sea on a boat tour from Marmaris. These aquatic excursions typically stop at the secluded Sig Milan Beach for swimming and snorkeling before continuing to the village. Many also include lunch and hotel pickup and drop-off. Independent travelers may prefer to rent a car or take public transportation from Marmaris or Datca.
Surrounded by rugged terrain, Greek ruins, and lush foliage, Selmiye is also a popular destination for Jeep safari tours from Marmaris, which typically stop at several surrounding villages, as well as the nearby Turgut Waterfall. As with the boat tours stopping in Selimiye, round-trip hotel transportation and a full meal are typically included.
