Marmaris is a major holiday resort located on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Once a fishing village, it has expanded into a modern tourist destination with a fully developed infrastructure. With several marinas, it's an important sailing centre and a popular wintering spot for hundreds of yachts. The harbour offers regular ferry service to the Greek island of Rhodes. The traditional architecture in Marmaris isn't as well-preserved as in other coastal Turkish towns, but the resort attracts visitors with the exceptional beauty of its natural surroundings. During the high season, Marmaris' population reaches over 400,000 people.
