Marmaris sits in a sheltered bay with hot, dry summers and a long season.
Warm by late April, with the sea swimmable from mid-May and the pine forests at their greenest.
Hot and humid at 32 to 36°C in the bay. Warm seas, full nightlife and the busiest beaches.
September and October are the best months, with the sea still warm and the crowds gone.
Mild but wet from December to February, and most of the resort closes.
June and September are ideal. Avoid August if you don’t like heat; the bay traps it.
