Marmaris
Once
a sleepy fishing village, Marmaris has ballooned into one of the largest
resorts on the Aegean coast, if not Turkey. Little of its history remains, as
the town is now a modern development with tourism at its heart and soul. The
population swells to a massive 200,000 in the summer, with most hotels,
restaurants, nightclubs and shops catering to low-cost package holidays,
although there are facilities for all budgets.
Despite the development
which reaches around 10km along the west of the bay, Marmaris is also
well-known for its expanse of green, present the whole year round thanks to the
pine-covered hills which surround the town. There are many beaches around the
bay, and there are ancient cities and seaside villages close by for day trips.
The yacht harbour is the biggest and newest in Turkey, and therefore the
busiest charter port especially for trips along the Turquoise Coast.
In addition to the climate,
beaches and facilities of the town, the transportation infrastructure is a
definite plus for attracting visitors. It has easy connections to the nearby
airport Dalaman, ferries to Rhodes, and on the road to Datca and Fethiye. The
harbour has attracted private boats from around the world, with yacht
maintenance and production in the workshops on the Yalanci Strait. With the
climate being comfortable even in winter, and the nearby impressive mountains
and pine forests, Marmaris is likely to remain a popular and practical holiday
spot for a long time.
History
It is thought that the
first settlement in Marmaris, whose history dates back to 3400 BC, began with
the arrival of a tribe to the region, whose leader was called Kar. The area was
then called Karla after him, and its location around the Aegean and
Mediterranean Seas always made it an appealing region.
Suleyman the Magnificent
assembled a force of 200,000 in 1522, whilst launching the siege of the Knights
of St John's base in Rhodes (Rodos). Soon afterwards, he made the city more
powerful with the rebuilding of the tiny castle overlooking the town. Lord
Nelson and his entire fleet sheltered in the harbour in 1798, en route to Egypt
to defeat Napoleon's armada at the Battle of Aboukir.
Marmaris therefore became a place where different civilisations reigned over
time, and there is architectural and historical evidence of Egyptian, Asdur,
Ion, Dor, Persian, Macedonian, Syrian, Roman, Byzantium, Seljuk and Ottoman
presence.
Climate
Summers are
extremely hot and dry, with daytime temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees, and
winters are warm and wet, plunging to 5 degrees at night. The area is quite
typical of a Mediterranean climate.
