Activities & Experiences
When it comes to local entertainment, visitors to Marmaris are spoiled for choice. From the quiet solitude of Sedir Island to the family friendly Atlantis Waterpark, there truly is something for everyone. Here are our picks for Marmaris destinations everyone should consider:
Marmaris Castle and Archaeology Museum
With origins dating back to the 16th century, Marmaris castle lies on a peaceful peninsula between a beach and a marina. After it suffered significant damage from French warships during World War I, the castle was restored significantly through a mammoth decade-long renovation effort in the 1980s. The building now contains an archaeology museum which displays artifacts including pottery, coins and glassware from Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras. A definite highlight, the museum also boasts an exhibit detailing what daily life was like for citizens during the Ottoman period.
Sedir Island
For a break from the fast faced energy on the mainland, your experienced crew can assist you in visiting the fascinating, uninhabited Sedir Island. Mired in legend, it’s rumored that Cleopatra and Mark Antony once bathed here, enjoying the same stunning views visitors now marvel at. History buffs will love seeing the remains of Cedrae, an ancient settlement found on the island where you can still see evidence of an agora and theater.
Marmaris National Park
Get back to nature in this spectacular 30,000 hectare national park. Under the sweetly scented pine and eucalyptus trees, keep an eye out for wild boar, goats and Eurasian lynxes. Large birds of prey such as falcons, eagles and hawks call this park home, and avid bird watchers are likely to spot some during a hike. Consider hiring a car to visit the breathtaking coastal ruins of Amos, an ancient city whose temple and theater are still identifiable.
Marmaris Bar Street
Take a break from sailing the rejuvenating Turkish Riviera to soak up the Marmaris nightlife. The locals party just as hard as the visitors, and Bar Street is the place to be. Just one street in from the waterfront, Bar Street has an abundance of bars and nightclubs for the party animals in our midst. Turn any night out into one to remember with live music and DJs who play until sunrise.
Atlantis Waterpark
With a prime location on the south end of Marmaris main beach, Atlantis Waterpark has everything you need to entertain your young (or young at heart) traveling companions. Experience 8 unique slide attractions, play a round of mini golf or relax in the popular wave pool. Shaded sun loungers are available for those who’d like to sit out the rides, and a dedicated kiddie pool provides a safe space for young children to splash around.
Marmaris Urban Beach
No coastal city attraction list would be complete without the perfect beach. Marmaris Urban Beach is a popular choice for social butterflies wishing to sun themselves in a more lively setting. Close to restaurants, cafes and bars on the nearby beach promenades, the sandy shorefront melts into welcoming clear blue waves.
