Spring 2008
Hello/ Merhaba from Marmaris and welcome to the official website of
Marmaris!
Since five years the website serves as an official Marmaris website, as on March 13, 2003
www.mymarmaris.com was voted as the official website of Marmaris,
affiliated with MARTAV, Marmaris culture and tourism Association, whose
goal has been to promote Marmaris on the international travel market.
What does "official website" mean? Apart from up-to-date
information Mymarmaris.com provides advertisement space to
all local and international establishments, accommodations and agencies
at nominal fees. This website encourages online presence of Marmaris
businesses. This website also aims to serve a one-for-all online portals for
you to check your holiday arrangements and establish direct contact.
Mymarmaris.com website has been approved by Marmaris municipality.
Marmaris has warmed up considerably
over the past week. Temperatures are starting to nudge 20 degrees
centigrades. Everywhere everything is growing and you have to beat
a path while walking with your dog through a valley which was clear only
a week ago. Fields of lupins echo the azure sky and the rocks are slick with dew each morning.
At this stage no strong winds are forecast so the ferries from
and to Rhodes should not be affected.
The new season is just around the corner, and the preparation is
steadily taking on the pace. If you are coming before mid spring we
suggest to book rooms at these hotels and apartments that are
open all year round:
Anemon hotel

meters from the beach and short distance from the marina and old town.

These self-contained apartments are within 200 meters distance to the
Marina and a short walk to the old town. Become part of the thriving
marina community and enjoy marina-side living at its very best with the
classy marina area offering stylish bars and restaurants.
Spring is also a great time for sailing holidays, and you do not
need a megayacht to have fun in Turkey! In fact it could be a small
private gulet or even a cabin on one of gulets. Marine life is friendly

turtles and dolphins at sea! The shore is always at sight offering
beautiful bays and islands for docking during the day and at night.

When it comes to shopping and present hunting, Turkey is one great wonderful bazaar. Enjoy the huge variety of shops, bazaars, open air markets and specialists shops in Marmaris! Best buys this season are textile products, especially T-shirts; jeans; leather and suede; cassettes; jewellery; lacy or embroidered bed linen and table cloths; ceramic plates and bowls as well as copper vessels. Local souvenirs include brass and copper goods, crystal ornaments, ceramic plates, embroidered towels. Or why not take home a true taste of Turkey - Turkish delight, tea (fruit flavoured apple and orange tea), or herbs and spices. Lokum, Turkish delight, comes in nearly 90 varieties, sold in boxes or by kg where you have the choice to pick and mix lokum. A traditional lokum shop will have a kaleidoscopic choice - from traditional pink cubes or flavoured varieties like mint, lemon or pistachio. In order to bring lokum fresh home leave your purchase as late as possible.
Herbs and spices are very cheap compared to the UK and because most varieties used in Turkish cooking, an extensive range can be bought fresh at the bazaar and local markets. Porcelain Turkish coffee cups painted with Turkish motifs call out to coffee lovers.
We encourage everyone to pass on their holiday experiences and information to us which will be added on our website!
