Make Your Cheap Holidays to Marmaris Truly Memorable
One of the most popular
tourist destinations in Turkey, Marmaris gives you the opportunity to
explore its fascinating natural and cultural attractions. It is
located in the south-western part of the country in the Mugla
province. Once it was a tiny fishing village, but the city has now
gained tremendous popularity among the international tourists
following the construction boom that happened in the late 20th
century. Hundreds of cruising enthusiasts also visit this exciting
Turkish coastal city in winter and it is an attractive hub for those
wanting to indulge in sailing and diving.
Your
Marmaris holidays allow you to visit the Iztuzu Beach, which is a
vast breeding space for the loggerhead sea turtles. The name 'Iztuzu'
literally translates as 'Turtle'. Located south of the beautiful
town, Dalyan, this beach offers a serene atmosphere for its visitors.
You can find a few cafes nearby, where you can unwind after spending
some time on the sandy stretch. Owing to the concerns of
contamination harming the population of turtles, there are no showers
on this beach. During the breeding season of the loggerhead sea
turtles, some portions of the beach are kept off-limits to provide
protection to their eggs.
While
enjoying your cheap
holidays to Marmaris, you can take a boat tour of the Dalyan
River to visit some ancient sites along the way and enjoy a bath in
the hot springs. The river runs through the Dalyan town and is an
important source of fish for the locals. Among the tourist
attractions that you'll get to visit during this tour are the facades
of Lycian tombs. These rock-cut tombs located on the cliffs date back
to 400 BC. Also worth visiting are the ruins of an ancient trading
city called 'Kaunos'. The Dalyan River is connected to the sea by
Koycegiz Lake. While on your boat tour of the river, you'll get to
enjoy a swim in this lake.
During your
cheap Marmaris holidays, don't miss the Dalyan Mud Bath. It is
believed that taking this bath and having the mud dry on your skin
can reduce or prevent wrinkles. There are some who also believe that
this mud bath would make you look 10 years younger. While these
claims are debatable, this experience is certainly a unique and
memorable one. Upon visiting the site of this mud bath, you can rub
the sulphur-rich mud all over your skin and allow it to dry under the
sun before rinsing off in the waters of Sultaniye spring.
An island
you must visit during your time spent in Marmaris is Cleopatra
Island, also known as Sedir Island. It is believed that Cleopatra met
her lover Marc Antony on the shores of this island and this is the
reason why it has been named after her. You can visit this gorgeous
island with the help of boat cruises taken from Marmaris. Another
reason for the island's popularity is its textured sands that have
been created by the ground seashells. Before setting foot on these
sands, the visitors have to leave their shoes and other belongings
behind.
