Marmaris 36°51’N 28°16’E

Marmaris is a Turkish Riviera that used to be a fishing village and now contains all the cosmopolitan charms of a modern-day vacation spot. The old quarter of the town with its bustling bazaars and unique restaurants is well worth a visit. During the day people head for the beach to do catamaran trips, parasailing, water skiing, sailing, scuba diving and other adventurous activities.

Once a little fishing port, Marmaris has developed into one of Turkey’s busiest and most Anglicized resorts. Its port welcomes luxury cruise liners, and DYT offers motor yacht and sailboat shipping to Marmaris that will get you first in line to sample the town’s extensive facilities and visit the archaeological sites nearby. You can walk through the second biggest city of the Roman Empire – the ancient city of Efes – and view Pamukkale, the eighth world wonder. Icmeler and its beach is 8 km down the road and you can visit Cleopatra’s Island and the Turtle Beach. Take your pick – once you take DYT boat shipping to the Mediterranean, the rest of the adventure is up to you!

Marmaris is also the South Aegean’s prettiest resort for scuba diving. There are several dive centers that arrange guided diving trips, excursions and even provide lessons for the inexperienced individuals who are eager to try out this underwater sport. Shopping is another delight of Marmaris. Leather goods of all kinds, natural sponges and the local blue glass beads known as the Boncuk are among the bargains to be found in the friendly little shops along the downtown bazaar. Charming boutiques at the end of the promenade offer kilims, carpets, sandals and embroidery as well as stunning original fashions.

Experience the radiance of this popular Turkish destination on your next vacation. DYT Yacht Transport prides itself on offering convenient and hassle-free boat shipping to beautiful locations all over the world. Our motor yacht and sailboat shipping to Marmaris has proven to be especially popular among our customers, and we look forward to helping you plan your next vacation to these alluring areas.
