Tour itinerary

Marmaris is one of Turkey’s premier yachting hubs, located in the southwest of the country. Its sheltered bay and large Marmaris Marina welcome hundreds of vessels each season. The town blends a lively waterfront promenade, bustling bazaars, and cozy cafés with excellent marine infrastructure—groceries, repair services, laundries, and provisioning options are all easily accessible for sailors. Marmaris is an ideal starting point for sailing adventures across the Aegean Sea—to Göcek, Fethiye, Dalyan, and even the Greek island of Rhodes. The surrounding coast is dotted with dozens of secluded coves, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. With warm summers, moderate winds, and a well-developed charter industry, Marmaris is a great choice for both first-time skippers and experienced sailors alike.
