Where to Stay in Marmaris

Finding the right accommodation is key to a successful package holiday. We recommend looking for resorts that balance comfort with convenience. One excellent option in the region is the Club Cettia Apartments. This 4-star apartment resort is located in the Armutalan district of Marmaris, Turkey, offering a perfect base for those who want to be close to the action while enjoying a self-catering setup.

Getting There and When to Go

Getting to this part of the world is straightforward for UK travellers. Most flights arrive into the nearby town of Dalaman, which serves as the primary gateway to the coast. From there, your transfer will wind through the beautiful Turkish countryside to reach your resort. The best time to visit is typically between May and October. The summer months offer long, hot days perfect for the beach, while late spring and early autumn provide slightly milder temperatures that are ideal for exploring without the peak heat.

Beaches and Local Resorts

The coastline around Marmaris is defined by its sweeping bays and clear waters. The beaches here are well-organised, with many offering rows of sunbeds, umbrellas, and easy access to local amenities. You will find that the resorts cater well to British tastes, with a variety of beachfront bars and cafes providing a great place to sit with a drink while watching the boats in the harbour. If you enjoy a bit of variety, you can easily spend your mornings on the sand and your afternoons exploring the local shopping areas or relaxing in the shade of a promenade cafe.

Food and Things to Do

One of the highlights of a holiday in this region is the food. You will find a wide range of dining options, from local eateries serving traditional grilled meats and fresh meze, to establishments offering familiar favourites. It is worth spending time exploring the old town areas, where the pace is a little slower and the atmosphere is charming. For those who enjoy a bit of activity, the coastal region is a hub for watersports. From leisurely boat trips that take you out into the turquoise coves to more energetic pursuits, there is plenty to keep you occupied beyond the sunbed.
