Indulge in Some Thrilling Activities with Cheap Holidays to Marmaris

by Amanda Sutcliffe Travel Deals

Marmaris is a beautiful port city located in Turkey's south-western province, Mugla. Until the 1980s, it was a sleepy little fishing village. However, it has now been transformed into a popular tourist destination in the country owing to the large-scale construction boom that began in the late-20th century. With two major marinas and many smaller ones, it has also become an important centre for several tourists to enjoy diving and sailing. In the summer season, the number of people in this Turkish city increases from less than 50,000 to nearly 400,000 with the arrival of tourists from different corners of the globe.

Summer from June to August in this part of Turkey can be unbearably hot with 12 hours of sunshine every day and temperatures rising up to 40-Degree Celsius. Although the heat is bearable with low humidity and sea breezes, the overall weather is still hot and you'll have to stay indoors from 12 to 3 in the afternoon. Winter from the month of November to February can be a good season for your Marmaris holidays if you're looking for some exciting deals on room rates of hotels. Autumn can also be a wonderful time to visit the city as this season also gets lesser crowds of tourists and brings some discounts on hotel accommodations.

With some charming beaches and wonderful opportunities to enjoy your favourite outdoor adventures, your cheap holidays to Marmaris can be truly memorable. Among the interesting attractions in the city is Marmaris Castle. It has an excellent architecture and houses the Marmaris Museum. You can explore a variety of artefacts during your visit to this museum. The Carian Rock Tombs can be explored with the help of a boat ride. These tombs have some intriguing carvings and the authorities have put in great efforts to preserve them by allowing only the riverboat tours to explore them.

You can witness the extensive marine life near the coasts of Marmaris with scuba diving or snorkelling. There are many local companies in the city that facilitate such activities for tourists. Water sports like jet-skiing and kite-surfing can also be enjoyed during your cheap Marmaris holidays. One of the daily boat trips to Dalyan gives you the chance to visit this region and take the healthy mud baths. An off-road jeep safari can be a delight if you're an outdoor sports lover. It takes you through small villages, cascading waterfalls and other captivating sceneries. 

The delicacies of Marmaris would truly pamper your taste buds with their generous use of aromatic spices. Among them is ‘Hummus’, which is prepared using mashed chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. A stuffed vegetable dish called ‘Dolma’ can also make for a delicious treat. It is made using vegetable leaves stuffed with rice or meat. You can also savour a sumptuous meal with dishes like ‘Kuzu Guvec’ or lamb kebabs and Turkish meatballs called ‘Kofte’. ‘Borek’ is also a mouth-watering dish, which is made using thin layers of dough stuffed with vegetables, meat, and cheese.
