Dalaman Airport is just 95 kilometres from Marmaris. It features direct seasonal flights from the UK, Germany, Scandinavia, and Russia. You also get excellent year-round domestic services arriving from Istanbul in just over an hour. The quick transfer rolls right along the highly scenic D400 highway through thick pine forests and past gorgeous lake views. Tripventura packages always include private air-conditioned transfers. High-speed ferries also easily connect Marmaris directly to the Greek island of Rhodes in just 50 minutes.

Dolmuş minibuses run reliably every five to ten minutes straight along the Marmaris waterfront. They easily connect you to İçmeler, Turunç, and Selimiye for just 10 to 25 TRY. Water taxis frequently depart from the main harbour to reach highly secluded bays and beaches. The famous Long Bar Street and main town centre are completely compact and highly walkable. Tripventura excursions fully include all your transport to the safari, cruise, and cultural departure points.

The Marmaris Long Beach strip features massive 4-star and 5-star all-inclusive resorts loaded with big pools and direct beach access. Head 8 kilometres south to İçmeler for a much quieter and highly family-friendly atmosphere set against a dramatic mountain backdrop. For purely romantic getaways, the small fishing village of Selimiye offers stunning boutique waterfront pensions and upscale dining right on the marina. Tripventura expertly selects properties that perfectly balance prime beach access with amazing nightlife and excursions.

The Marmaris food scene totally centres entirely on the bustling harbour and the old town. You must try the freshly caught calamari and grilled sea bass directly from the waterfront restaurants. Head up into the hilltop old town near the castle to find deeply atmospheric tavernas. They serve amazing slow-cooked lamb stews and giant Turkish meze platters. The big Thursday market in town provides an absolute feast of local honey, fresh olives, spices, and dried fruits.

Passport holders from the UK, US, Canada, Australia and the EU can securely obtain an e-Visa online. Head straight to evisa.gov.tr. The cost is approximately $50 USD and grants a 90-day multiple entry visa. The online processing is completely instant. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your entry date. Marmaris also heavily offers easy ferry-based day trips directly to the Greek island of Rhodes. You just need your passport.

Pack high quality swimwear and solid reef shoes for the rocky cove beaches. Bring a good hat and pure SPF 50 sunscreen for your all-day boat cruises. Pack some older clothes you do not mind getting completely muddy for the rugged Jeep safari. Bring smart-casual wear for elegant harbour-side restaurants and the wildly lively bar strip. We highly recommend a solid dry bag to keep your precious electronics safe on all the adventure tours and boat trips.
