The resort of Marmaris is located at the head of a bay surrounded by high wooded hills. Consider that this city had 3,000 residents in the 1960s and now has a summer population of over 250,000 to get an idea of how much it has expanded in the last 50 years. And for a good reason: Marmaris has everything a Mediterranean vacationer could want. There's blissful nature at uninhabited islands, coves, and pine-decked hills, but there's also the heady fun of a modern resort with bars, nightclubs, and a diverse dining scene. Boats depart from the resort's chic marina for remote islands and coastal nature reserves, as well as from the town's fantastic museum and archaeological sites.
