During the summer months, you can visit the European resort town of Marmaris, which is on the coastline of Turkey, and is known as a hub of sophisticated tourism. It is the first town along the famed `Turquoise Coast` along the north eastern edge of the Mediterranean. Marmaris, which was built around a large bay at the base of mountains thick with trees, has a modern marina which acts as a base for sailing the Mediterranean, by catering to both private yachts and commercial cruise lines. `Mimari as!` Suleyman the Magnificent exclaimed upon seeing the completed stronghold he commissioned and disliking it; local storytellers claim the name Marmaris stuck.it means `kill the designer`.

If you love to shop then Maramis is the place for you. If you want to find great deals, go to the Carsi Market in the Ottoman Castle, it features over 200 shops and their on site flea market is open 7 days a week so you can find awesome deals on items like as jewellery, ceramics, leather products, and carpets. On Thursdays the local come to sell fruits and vegetables along with different fabrics and clothing. But in order to enjoy the Marmaris experience, one must be prepared. Many vendors, especially the ones in the bazaars, are known to tout customers which, while illegal, can be a real irritant. As a rule, it is expected that shoppers bargain with them over prices, except in the larger shops. An already inexpensive product can be haggled down another 30 percent with a bit of persistence. Shoppers are warned to be on their toes because many of the goods at Marmaris are actually designer knock-offs. great prices on expensive items should be a red flag that it is not a real item. Some imitations look good and are still well-made, so don`t be afraid to buy them while you`re in Turkey.

Whether you`re craving something international, or you`re dying to try some of the local food at the Turkish Restaurant Lokanta, Marmaris has hundreds of different places for you to eat, no matter what your craving or your budget. From fish `n chips to amazing Chinese, filling German or the ever popular Italian, you can get it here. Don`Turkish delights, doner kebabs, and seafood meze dishes are well worth sampling along the way.

For excitement at night head to bar street. This is where all thnightclubs are bars are located and they`re full of people until 4am. Dining is possible aroound the clock. Some of the best places to go are Davy Jones` Locker, with dancing all night long and affordable cocktails, Vagabundo, a club right on the beach where the staff dance up on the bar, as well as Cheers, right on the beach as well, with a drag act and places to sit outdoors away from the heat.
