Situated on a bay, backed by rugged pine-clad mountains, Marmaris is one of the most attractive maritime parklands, ideal for water sports and sailing. It makes an excellent starting point for Cruising tours of the Aegean coastline to languidly explore the spectacular beauty of southern Turkey. Ancient Marmaris, Physkos, was an important stage on the Anatolia-Rhodes-Egypt trade route.
