Marmaris Netsel Marina

Situated on a bay, backed by rugged pine-clad mountains,Marmaris is one of the most attractive maritime parklands,ideal for water sports and sailing. It makes an excellent starting point for the "Blue Voyage" tour of the Aegean coastline. In May, the Marmaris Yacht Charter Show provides an opportunity to meet the yachts captains and crews. With plenty of provisions aboard you set sail in the craft of your choice and languidly explore the spectacular beauty of southern Turkey.

Near Marmaris at Icmeler, the hazy mountains of the interior slope down to sandy beaches. Under blue skies, the clear see is ideal for all types of water sports. Many find this area so irresistible that they stay longer than orginally planned. And there are some excellent accomodations here, in which you can prolong your contact with nature. As you drive down from the high mountains in to the village of Turunc, the scene opens out onto the spectacular blue waters beyond the natural habor. The village itself is small and scattered around the bay. Most of the retaurants border the beach. A few bars and restaurants farther back from the water's edge offer fresh fish and superb views.
