Marmaris is one of the prettiest towns of Turkey. The nature is so generous here; blue and green are mingled as two in one nest. The bay is surrounded by densely wooded mountains. There are number of laced coves under attractive settings.  When westerlies are predominat, it does cause choppy sea. When the wind blows from south in spring and autumn, it causes gusts. I advise you to be careful about southerlies while sailing in spring and autumn. All kinds of provisions can be found in Marmaris. Provisions are also available in the anchorages. There are regular transport facilities available for most of cities in Turkey. Dalaman airport is 100 km from Marmaris. There are regular connections to European cities.
