Icmeler

Icmeler

Icmeler is the neighbouring resort to Marmaris which is delightfully more sophisticated, with defined characteristics of its own. The beach is a mixture of sand and shingle and stretches the length of the bay, with watersports from windsurfing to jet skis available and sensibly separated from swimmers in designated areas.

The view from this beach is really very special, the islands periodically rising high out of the cobalt blue waters of the warm Mediterranean, breaking up the coastline with magnificent splendour. A stroll along the promenade is an enjoyable way to see much of what is on offer and watch the boats returning to the harbour.

There's no better way to pass the time than sipping your favourite drink in one of the beach cafés. Behind the beach the immediate roads are full of bars, shops, restaurants and hotels and then the streets have a more residential air about them, becoming quieter and prettier with public gardens and play areas. We think that Icmeler is a wonderful place for families and is easy for pushchairs and wheelchairs alike. Try a stroll through the old village for something more traditionally Turkish and the weekly market which runs on a Wednesday. A variety of local transport systems make it easy to get around Icmeler and its neighbouring resorts of Marmaris and Turunc. Icmeler is scenically beautiful and well worth a visit.
