Marmaris is split into two sections, old town, and new town. The old town features the narrowed cobbled street common to this area of the world, with rising plaster-covered buildings. The colors displayed in the old town, the cafes, and the open-air markets can really give you a feel of what Marmaris was like. In the new town, you will encounter everything you would expect from a major city along the Turkish Riviera. There are modern restaurants, shops, and clubs all there to provide you with the best food and entertainment you can find. One difference with Marmaris is the modern side of entertainment isn’t taken to such extremes as can happen in other cities. No matter how modern things get, there is still a feel of history to everything.
There are several Gulet cruises by cabin charters that you can take out of Marmaris.The popular and cheper one is 7 nights Marmaris-Fethiye-Marmaris gulet cruise. If your choice is a private charter, Marmaris is a pioneer city with its private gulet yachts. It is an ideal port to begin a Spring sea tour of the surrounding islands. There are also cultural tours that will take you to the various islands to see the artifacts left by all the cultures that have called the Aegean home. Diving, sailing, fishing, and more are all available from the decks of your Gulet. Many of the ships also go from port to port and bring entertainers on board for a private dinner show too.
