After leaving Turunç we enter Marmaris Harbor. On the west is the district of lçmeler where there are more hotels and motels. Before lçmeler is Keçi Island. There are other islands in the bay including Nimara, which is actually connected to the mainland by a low isthmus called Yalanci ("False") channel, and the islands of Yildiz and Cennet. Before the peninsula is tiny Bedir Island.

Situated on a bay, backed by rugged pine-clad mountains, Marmaris is one of the most attractive maritime parklands, ideal for water sports and sailing. It makes an excellent starting point for the "Blue Voyage" tour of the Aegean coastline. In May, the Marmaris Yacht Charter Show provides an opportunity to meet the yachts' captains and crews. With plenty of provisions aboard, you set sail in the craft of your choice and languidly explore the spectacular beauty of southern Turkey.
