Marmaris town is lively; the bays either side are calmer. Here is how to choose.
Bar Street, the harbour and the old quarter on foot, with the beach and promenade in front. Loud at night in summer.
The long beach and promenade west of the centre, lined with hotels of every size.
A sandy bay with calm water, mountains behind and a quieter atmosphere, ten minutes by dolmuş or water taxi.
A small village beach ringed by pine-covered hills, with a few hotels and pensions. Best reached by boat.
A residential area on the hill behind Marmaris with cheaper hotels and a Thursday market, a short bus ride from the beach.
