In Marmaris for a day trip and stopped by to visit the old castle in old town of Marmaris. It is a good mix between info and adventure. Beautiful view of Marmaris and the harbour! Takes maybe 40-60min for a visit. Make sure to also stop at the near by panorama bars.

Wonderful Castle at the top of Marmaris old town. Well maintained and worth €6 entry. Great explanations attached to each exhibit including QR codes to take you to more detailed information. Amazing views across Marmaris and the bay, but cover up, there’s little shade. Wandering up the little streets to the castle was a lovely relief from the bazaar and energetic shop keepers. Take your time, get an iced coffee on the way up, don’t miss out on a hidden gem.

Marmaris Castle offers a captivating glimpse into the region's rich history. While relatively small, the museum inside is well-curated, showcasing artifacts that bring the past to life. The real draw, however, is the panoramic view from the ramparts. Overlooking Marmaris Harbor, the bustling marina, and the surrounding coastline, it's a photographer's dream. The climb can be a bit steep, but the vistas are well worth the effort. A must-see for history buffs and anyone seeking stunning views. Don't forget your camera! The castle provides some excellent photo opportunities and overall a good experience with nice views and history.

Nice small castle, well looked after and has good views over the harbour. Honestly found the surrounding area (old town) more beautiful.

Beautiful castle. Lovely display of archeological finds. Great views from the top as well. We had a lovely time. Staff are really friendly. €6 to get in for an adult. There is somewhere to store prams at the entrance. We carried our son around, but he is only 7 months. A fair few stairs in the castle. Please note there are stairs to get up to entrance. Not wheelchair friendly.

Beautiful views, very quick to navigate and it's a lovely collection to walk around, however a large tour arrived just in front of us who hadn't organised their tickets beforehand. Hottest day of our holiday and we ended up queuing for almost half an hour in direct sunlight. Definitely could have been managed much better by opening another sales booth or moving the group to the side until they'd got sorted and allowing smaller groups to pass through first!

Visited Marmaris Castle. The view from on top of the castle were absolutely amazing, you could see all the way across Marmaris and out to sea. It also gave great views of the harbour and the boats coming in and out. There was a 6 euro entry fee, but it was worth it. The castle its self isn't very big but has a lot of information about it's history, with some good artifacts to look at. It's isn't buggy friendly but the staff were really helpful and let us leave our buggy at the main office while we walked around. There are quite a lot of steps to gain access to the different parts of the castle which might be difficult for some people.

Warning for Future Shoppers at Grand Bazaar During my visit to the Grand Bazaar, I encountered some aggressive sales tactics that I feel I need to warn others about. While many businesses are friendly and respectful, my experience was not ideal. As I walked through the bazaar, I was repeatedly called into shops, where the sellers engaged in friendly chatter to entice me to make a purchase. I appreciated the pleasant conversation, but there was significant pressure to buy more than I intended. Despite this, I stood firm on my choices. We eventually agreed on a price of £100, and I made the mistake of paying by card. To my shock, when I returned to my hotel, I noticed I had been charged €200 instead! My advice: take cash and stick to a firm price. If a seller tries to charge more, don’t hesitate to walk out; they may quickly agree to your price. While not all traders are like this, please be cautious. As a first-time visitor to Marmaris, this experience will likely deter me from returning. It’s unfortunate that greed can overshadow the experience in Turkey. Stay safe and vigilant!

Didn’t find I was hassled too much although others in my party were hassled much more than I was. Can probably find anything you need in here. I have been in other bazaar/ souk type places before and I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite one but probably the easiest to walk through out of them all. Good locations right by the beach, restaurants and taxi ranks.

Never-ending line of clothing shops. Good spot to go out for a meal. Great choice of different cousines. You can also find some reasonably priced restaurants/takeaways in this area. Just look for the ones without alcohol and with locals dining inside. There's also some good sweets shops in there as well as herbal/nuts/spices ones.

Perhaps not a 'grand' as its namesake in Istanbul - nonetheless, it was good to wander through for a browse. We didn’t get hassled to much (which was good) and allowed us to enjoy window shopping. You seem to be able to find most anything you need in here. probably not the best - but certainly one of the easiest to walk through. Good location right by the beach.

I don’t post reviews but this experience prompted me. If you’re in Marmaris and thinking of visiting the Grand Bazaar, I’d strongly suggest skipping it—especially the shop called Pablo. You’re far better off doing your shopping at the high street in Marmaris or İçmeler, where shops are more transparent with pricing. Look for stores that clearly display prices and are open to fair negotiation. At Pablo, the experience was particularly bad. They quoted an extremely high price for an item we later found elsewhere at one-third of the price—and with better quality. What they were offering was simply not worth it. The product quality was subpar, and the pricing felt like a blatant attempt to overcharge unsuspecting tourists. Yes, the shop’s decor might look nicer than others, but don’t let that fool you—what really matters (quality, price, honesty) just isn’t there. Worse still, the attitude changed quickly when we didn’t fall for the inflated pricing. The tone became condescending and borderline rude, which made the whole experience feel draining and unpleasant. Haggling is expected in markets, but here it felt like a game you were meant to lose from the start. I’m giving this 2 stars only because a few other shops in the bazaar were more relaxed and not overly pushy. Still, if you’re looking for an enjoyable shopping experience during your holiday, this place just isn’t worth your time.

Avoid shop called Pablo here!! Overall,The place was truly disappointing and not worth spending time at. Most of the shop owners were pushy . One example was a shop called Pablo — the person there was particularly sly, quoting prices nearly three times higher than reasonable. When I didn’t engage with his tactics, he turned condescending and rude. Overall, it was one of the worst shopping experiences I’ve had.

Great place but u get a shopper to show u around, makes u feel obliged to buy stuff. There's plenty of other shops around and food n drink places really cheap. A good place to visit. Taxis are free 😊

Marmaris Marina is a stunning waterfront destination that captivates visitors with its beauty and charm. The marina boasts a picturesque setting, surrounded by azure waters and lush greenery, creating a serene oasis in the heart of the city. Strolling along the promenade, visitors can admire the luxury yachts and sailboats, adding to the glamorous atmosphere. The marina is also home to a variety of cafes, restaurants, and shops, offering something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're taking a leisurely walk, enjoying a meal with a view, or simply soaking in the tranquil ambiance, Marmaris Marina is a must-visit destination in Turkey.

Lovely for a swim but lots of stones so u will need beach shoes. No sun beds or loungers. Just bring ur Towel and sit on sand. There is a little bit with a rail that has man made hard floor under sea to get into sea to avoid the stones

Very nice place to wait for a ferry. Bathrooms are super clean! See a bunny or two while you are there.

Very nice well designed place with whatever a sailor can need such as warm water, every time clean big spaced toilets with hair dryer. Good shopping area with many cafes restaurants and sailing shops, a very close super market just next to marine, close to heart of Marmaris just a few minutes walk you are in castle historic area and bar streets.

It used to be very nice and friendly, in the last two years prices have become unreasonable. Let me explain: first of all is very noisy at night (both from night clubs but also fron other boats partying) but the worst thing is the high speed powerboats entering or leaving the marina. So once in while unexpected waves come out of the blue caused by tenders. Additionally the behavior of certain staff + the refusal to speak English is funny when working in tourism! There is a rule in marketing called "willingness to pay", i don't mind the higher cost BUT downgrading the quality of your services is serious.

The marina is impeccably clean and well run, the town has everything you cod need to refit your boat with. Most of the mariners speak good English and are very helpful and the technical support is also readily available. It is also a very safe and secure marina with someone attentively patroling on a tender through the night .

A very beautiful landscape, a well-maintained and clean promenade, lots of services.

Very crowded and the music was very loud, but it is nice to walk by night and have a drink.

Good music. Service was good. They were on point. Definitely great place to have great time.

Amazing always packed and if with entertainment or know them and are out with them its buy 1 get 1 free on cocktails and vodkas

Commercial Chart, 90s RnB, Hip-hop and Dance music. Free entry with cocktail offers

Amazing music and dj.... delicious cocktails

Only place that was giving the world cup in English.

It's worth a try once

It is a beautiful forrest very close to city center. Why this national forrest special is beacuse it's unique and rare kind of Trees. It is called Sığla in Turkish and known as Francankinse ( i am sure i wrote wrong 😁). These photos are from an activity in this national park for saving wild nature.

Some stunning scenery, but the place needs tidying up. Litter everywhere and no one seems borhered.

Place is very nice, playgrounds are great and there are a lot of places to sit in the shade. There is an entrance fee which is really cheap only 5TL. No card accepted but nice lady at the entrance let me in for just 2tl since I ran out of lyras...

Wonderful park. Reserved nature.

Perfect place for a family.adventure park and play grounds bang on to keep kids occupied and be entertained. Reasonable prices. Nice picnic tables on the grasses. Yoga area. Kids event area. Take your own food and drink. No alcohol allowed which is right for a such nice place like this with kids around. Small sandy beach. Not enough and uncomfortable sunbeds but clean spot. Bang on for a family.

Really beautiful spot just outside the marina, views of the sea and children's play area was great 4 people 1 pound entry. You can see fish and little turtles here, its a great place to take a picnic and relax.

Great location and amenities. Yet, from beach to the entrance, full with cigarette buds. Garbages everywhere. Crowded in the summer. Nice to spend an hour or two maybe! Cheap vacation spot.

Possibly the best curry I've ever had, the lamb madras was incredible! The food was so good we had to come back a second time in our week long trip, definitely recommend if you like a curry. We obviously didn't have to time to try the whole menu (unfortunately) but the lamb tawal, chicken jalfreezi and Tikka masala were all delicious too, although the madras is probably my favourite. Very reasonably priced it cost about £30 per person for an amount of food that required a nap afterwards.

Wow blown away by the food and service 5 star AMAZING 10 out of 10 We had a situation at our hotel (sunrise hotel) with limited breakfast choices. I am a strict vegetarian and do not eat meat, fish and eggs. I don’t even eat where there is cross contamination with meat products. Which did cause stress and anxiety as I was out there with limited food options but Taj Mahal made my life easy. There was a huge selection of veg options and they were willing to go over and beyond to tailor to our needs. Great tasting food❤️ Wonderful staff, can’t thank them enough⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you for the experience Taj Mahal ❤️🙏🏽

Delicious food, price is right, and employees are super friendly helpful. Want to enjoy some good Indian Cuisine, this is the spot! Oh and definitely would recommend going for some naan bread

Didn't expect to find such an authentic Indian restaurant in Marmaris. The food was well spiced, you can taste the fresh herbs. The waiters were so kind and friendly. If you want good authentic Indian food, you must go there. The vieuw is beautifull. We came from the Netherlands and i hope to go back someday.

Service was fantastic and the food was great!!! Definitely authentic Indian food, it was so tasty. The dessert at the end was 10/10!! Such a shame that we came here on a last night in Turkey. We will definitely be back

Absolutely amazing ❤️❤️❤️ The service here is so friendly and fast. The staff are truly welcoming and so nice. If you want to have a genuine Indian meal in Marmaris this is definitely the place to go. We arrived and were seated within 10 minutes, drinks served while we waited, we didn’t mind waiting…the place is that good and people know it, so it is popular. We ordered popadoms and dips and they came in seconds and then tikka masala with pilau rice and garlic naans. Tikka might not sound adventurous but when it’s that tasty it’s hard to resist and the naans are to die for. Again all of this was served really quickly which was amazing. Afterwards we were presented with a lovely dessert, a sesame toasted pastry filled with ice cream and some syrup drizzled over, it was delicious and not too heavy. 1000% would recommend, if you are in Marmaris Don’t miss out 👍🥰

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Absolutely Incredible Experience at Taj Mahal Marmaris! From the moment we stepped into Taj Mahal Marmaris, we were treated like royalty. The food was nothing short of spectacular rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and bursting with authentic Indian spices that truly delighted the palate. Every dish was cooked to perfection, from the succulent tandoori to the perfectly spiced curries. The naan bread? Simply divine! But what really made our evening unforgettable was the exceptional service. A special shout-out to Richy (Recep) what a gem! He went above and beyond to ensure our dinner was perfect. From his warm welcome to his genuine care and attention throughout the evening, Richy made us feel so special. He truly elevated our experience and made our family dinner feel like a celebration. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, and the whole evening flowed seamlessly. If you’re in Marmaris and craving delicious Indian cuisine with first-class service, Taj Mahal is a must-visit. We left with full hearts and even fuller bellies thank you to the entire team, especially Richy, for making our night so memorable. We’ll definitely be back if we ever come Marmaris again! 🙌🍛🇮🇳

Food inexpensive well worth the money £140 for 5 people mains starters and drinks. You definitely get more than what you pay for quality and quantity was good steaks cooked correctly. Downside even when half empty service quite poor inattentive waiting staff and what looked like owner trying to micro manage as opposed to running the restaurant. Would return but not when busy EDIT we did return everything was much better until someone either rich or famous came in with body guards and all attention was on serving them

The food is decent, but I can't say the same about the prices. Some items on the menu are clearly overpriced. For example, a sea platter (a single leg of octopus, a single king prawn! and grilled calamari) costs €24. The alcohol seems to be overpriced as well. We had grilled monkfish and fillet steak as our mains. The fish was bland, and the sides were mediocre to say the least. However, the steak was cooked to perfection. For that reason I can't recommend the seafood at this place. They will need to improve on that.

We loved the kofte, and our salad. The tall chef was so great with our questions, and his kitchen is so clean. Thanks Chef

Pretty cool location. The staff was very friendly and they were really tentative. The breakfast plate was good quality and tasty as well. However the fly situation is out of control. There were so many flies (seems unrelated to the restaurant but due to marina location) albeit it was an experience I can not recommend. We needed to move under a full blast fan to prevent flies from landing on food but still quite annoying experience.

We had such a lovely time at Pineapple Restaurant last night. The food was full of flavour, the staff made us feel so welcome, and the beautiful waterfront setting made the whole evening magical. We left with full hearts and full stomachs.

Pineapple Restaurant is one of the few dining establishments in Marmaris, with white tablecloths while still giving you a view of all the yachts moored within the marina. Good service, and they even handled our request to move as the sun slowly crept over our table. Nothing better than having a cheat day and enjoying a pizza. Yes, we ordered a Hawaiian (sorry to all those purist pizza lovers, Sally could not miss this opportunity). It reminded us of being back home in Australia. There is nothing better than starting your meal with a Mojito, and the bar ensures only the freshest ingredients are used in your cocktail. The yellow and white awnings give you that relaxed seaside vibe and suit this restaurant; ignore the logo (as a designer, I would not be proud of that design!). It doesn't represent the beautiful dining experience you will receive; therefore, don't be put off by casual branding. Pricing is reasonable considering the location, design and ambience. The wine list was large enough to ensure all taste styles were well catered.

We ate very well, the restaurant is very beautiful in front of the Marmaris marina, the attention is special, the food is very rich and the drinks we had a great time.

We came to Turkey last year and we walked past Bono a few times, they were always busy. We came back in March 2025 and had dinner here. We didn't have a starter, just mains and dessert. My husband had the chicken with rice and chips, I had the Korean crispy chicken with rice. I liked mine and it was spicy in taste. My husband said he found it a little bland, it needed some spice. I couldn't decide between the apple pie and profiteroles. I opted for the profiteroles for dessert. I had no expectations. I had three very large profiteroles with strawberry ice cream instead of vanilla. It was delicious 😋. I was full after my main course,but I found room to eat it all. My husband was persuaded by a waiter to have the San Sebastian cheesecake, he said it was light. It was a very large piece of cake, which my husband who doesn't like leaving food on his plate couldn't finish. He said it was nice, but wouldn't have it again. We also had lunch then next day. I had the chicken quesadillas and my husband had the sea bass salad. Both were nice. I had cheery juice on both occasions, my husband had a beer at lunchtime and red wine with his dinner. We paid £61.90 for dinner, this included two glasses of red wine. For lunch we paid £29.00. No complaints, the service is good and quick. I'm not a fan of cats, so having them in a restaurant is not for me, especially when they stare at you waiting for food.

I came here with my little brother who is 12. Thus I am writing this review exactly with his words. I give this place 10 rating for the service. And 9 for the food and taste. Not because there was something wrong , I just wanter to rate it 9. So to sum up. It was a perfect fast and delicious service. Hope it helps

This bar is lovely! We went last night after reading good reviews and the staff were very attentive. We decided to have a mixture of sushi after being told how good it is (they have their own sushi counter) it was honestly delicious and melt in the mouth - we rated it 10/10 don't think it could have got any better. The prices were really reasonable too! We are planning on returning to try some other dishes. Check this place out if you're in the area!

We came to this restaurant several times during our vacation in Marmaris and the food was always lovely. Serving cuisine from all different countries there is something for everyone. Drinks menu is diverse with a lot to choose from. Each night the staff were fantastic and offered help to us. Unbeatable views of Marmaris bay! Would highly recommend this restaurant & would return in a heartbeat

It’s modern bar had a great menu. Sushi was to die for we like this restaurant so much we came back three times.

Really enjoyed the food here. Really friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere with great views. I thought it was really cheap for such good quality and luxury feeling.

After reading so many good reviews me and my daughter decided to try this place out after a long day, the food was good when it arrived eventually but wait times were too long and had to ask constantly when the food will be here. The first time I did was rudely ignored as I said politely ‘excuse me’ and was told ‘no English’ and blanked me, she didn’t even get anyone else for me to speak too. We waited over an hour for even our starter and loads of people were walking out! Eventually when the food came no one came and asked if it was ok or if we needed any more drinks. We was there a total of 2 hours and only offered a drink once! After I complained to the manager about the lack of service he bought over 2 free alcoholic cocktails which we refused as i was with my 14 year old daughter, after being blanked for another 10 minutes I then went to the till and stated I wasn’t prepared to pay the full price as I wasn’t happy with the service he then screwed the receipt up and told me to leave the restaurant without paying which i did and then when walking down the beachfront one member of staff who was really nice (didn’t get her name) and was the only decent member of staff got me back into pay, at the till the manager grabbed my cheek and was threatening to kick my head in if I refused to pay the full price, at this point I felt threatened and just paid it - luckily for him my daughter was there and would of been totally different if she wasn’t! And to top it off there was a cockroach by our table when we was leaving! We was told not to return ever again and that I will definitely will be doing.

Wonderful staff. Inviting and friendly. All the other restaurants were pushy and obxious. We actually talked to the former owners sitting next to us. The restaurant is now owned by the staff and it shows. The steak with rouquefort sauce was outstanding. The bolognese had peppers but was tasty. The standout was the homemade flat bread for the starters and garlic bread. Fantastic.

The lamb chops were okay. It was meant to come with Garlic butter, it came with cold, colagulated, stale, bland gravy... literally not what's on the menu, or what I paid for. Asked the waiter to buy bernaise sauce and he said no too. The sliced potato was lukewarm and tasted old too. Restaurant was empty so confused was to why the food was so bad.

The portions are huge, we tried the spaghetti bolognese and ut was mid, the lasagna was a little better, and we ordered a creme sauce spaghetti with chicken which i liked the most, the prices are great for their portions.

5* and more ! One of the best steak i ever had !! The food its FREAKING good !! It was recommend to us and we are now so greatful it was ! I really enjoyed !

Hands down the best restaurant we tried in all of Marmaris! After a week of underwhelming meals across the city, this place was a total game changer. We ordered steaks and pizza — both were absolutely fire. The sauces were next level — I had the black pepper sauce and it was insanely good. Everything hit just right. Overall: 10/10. Highly recommend.

Visited here recently, service was good and the food was delicious! The best balloon bread and dips I’ve had in Marmaris and Steak was lovely. We will be back next month.

We ate see bass with french friea and salats. It was wonderfull! Waiters are also very polite and profi. Strongly recommend to visit.

Just went to rickys today to try. My wife got the fish and chips myself and daughter got chicken doner wraps my daughter had chips with hers. All the seating is outside really warm thoo but food was great and really warm freshly made. Fish is probably better than most fish the UK sell. No bones in the fish wraps were large but me and my daughter only managed half each but they were happy to wrap left overs to take with us. I had chilli sauce in my wrap was good slightly hotter than a tobasco sauce. Chips were better than any chips u get in a uk chippy. Oh and they give you more than 5 chips lol. Our bill for the 3 meals and 2 large drinks was 990 lira i think thats pretty great. The 2 young lads served us and they were really friendly.

What very pleasant place to eat ,proper chips n fish and homemade pie that is excellent! Well worth a visit, I went two times in my week away, first class . In the pic it's fishcake chips and peas,,, homemade pie, steak and onion with really nice creamy mash and mushy peas,yum yum ,not oily at all ! First class.

Best pie and mash with gravy I've ever tasted in marmaris. Lovely tasty food. Friendly staff and a great selection of food on the menu.

Absolutely amazing, had fish, chips, peas with bread and butter. Everything was just like being back at home but even better. If anybody is on holiday in the area you need to visit this little diamond. Ricky is a amazing guy. Thank you so much hope to see you again soon

It was our first experience of trying fish n chips and it was wonderful it tasted so good, the service was perfect people were so kind we couldn’t eat pork because of our religion so we stated that and we asked them to cook the fish and the pork separately. the chef came and told us that we was going to do it separately just for us and were so thankful for the service we’ll def come back later thanks for everything!!

Went there tonight for the first after hearing ppl talking an i tell you what I was not disappointed wanted something simple so had sausages an mash with gravy absolutely gorgeous an home made proper chips seriously ppl if you are in marmaris do notvpass by this place amazing

Amazing food fish chips was just like home very friendly pleasant place will definitely go bk next year when we return
