Program details

Hugging a stunning bay and squeezed in between two lush mountains, sailing into Marmaris offers a truly scenic introduction to Turkey.

Just a short distance from Rhodes, it is worlds away culturally. From the aromatic bazaars to the heaving nightlife, Marmaris is a sensual experience.

Approaching it along its beautiful rugged coastline, you will sail into the port and feel the energy of a different land straight away, with the seafront choc-a-bloc with shops, bars and restaurants.

The town is dominated by an imposing castle built five centuries ago by the Ottoman emperor Suleiman the Magnificent. He used it as a base from which to plot his conquest of Rhodes. The castle is now home to a museum and galleries and has a landscaped courtyard full of flowers.

See the Hafza Sultan Caravanserai, a historic inn from the same period that is now abuzz with café culture and people watching.

The Grand Bazaar was built at about the same time as the castle and is filled with the colours and scents of the East. This excursion is a great taster of a fascinating country, not just an opportunity to get another stamp on your passport.
