Marmaris, Port town on Turkish Riviera, Turkey

The coastal district stretches along the Mediterranean shoreline with numerous beaches, a natural harbor, and mountains rising behind the settlement.

The town served as a strategic naval base during the Ottoman conquest of Rhodes in 1522, when Sultan Suleiman ordered the reconstruction of Marmaris Castle.

The annual Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey passes through Marmaris, bringing professional cyclists and spectators from numerous countries to the region.

Local water taxis and buses connect Marmaris to nearby Icmeler beach throughout the day, operating from early morning until late evening.

The Gunnucek Forest near Netsel Marina contains rare Sweetgum trees, which produce valuable amber-colored resin used in traditional medicine.
