Marmaris Turkey Beach Holidays
Marmaris is a coastal town and a popular beach holiday resort on the southwest of Turkey, Europe. Marmaris holidays offer the perfect getaway for the ones after that perfect holiday in the sun.
Boasting stunning landscapes and natural surroundings, long stretches of golden sandy beaches, crystal clear turquoise sea, quiet little bays, countless ancient ruins and all the typical charms and hospitality of any Turkish city, Marmaris has all the hallmarks of a Mediterranean paradise and it is not difficult to see why up to 400,000 holiday makers flock there every summer. Notably however, not all of these tourists will make their way to Marmaris by using the same mode of transport, as there are many different ways to get to Marmaris from the UK.
The Uzanyali beach stretches down the side of Marmaris, so holidaymakers will be able to dip into the sea whenever they want, and for those willing to travel further afield, a short trip to the nearby beach of Icmeler dazzles beachgoers with fine golden sands.
Sandwiched between a tranquil, azure sea and steep, pine-forested mountains, Marmaris is a spectacular place for a beach holiday.
The dusky volcanic sand on the Uzan Yali beach in Marmaris simmers in perfect Mediterranean temperatures from April all the way to November and covers the entire Marmaris coastline, giving you plenty of room to stretch out in. The traffic free promenade overflows with cafés, restaurants, bars and shops for sandals, sunglasses and souvenirs, as this resort has made sure that you’ll have everything you need for a perfect beach holiday.
As the southern Mediterranean climate means you’ll find pleasant beach temperatures in the spring and autumn and a summer in which the sun never disappears, you can rely on Marmaris for a beach holiday if you’re the type of person who loves to take off on holiday on the spur of the moment.
No family holiday would be complete without a few days out with the kids, so Marmaris has built the first-rate Atlantis waterpark, which is packed with more thrilling water-rides, chutes and bumper boats than you can fit into one day. If you fancy taking some time out in between rides, this park also has its own beach, restaurant, bowling alley and bar for the perfect day out. Since kids have world-class skills at getting muddy, let them get caked in the stuff at the Dalyan Mudbaths next to Marmaris.
As they get as grimy as possible, know that they’re also getting a cleansing skin treatment, while adults will be pleased with their own glowing and clear skin after they wash off the mud in the 40 degree sulphur pool. This mud is also claimed to relieve rheumatism ailments.
As Marmaris is overflowing with great hotels, you’ll likely find a family deal to suit your budget in a location you’ll like. As most Marmaris hotels have pools, Marmaris has plenty of choice to offer to families and all travellers.
