MARMARIS, THE EASTERN SPIRIT
For those looking for an “acquaintance” with the East side of the
summer, Sea Dreams gives you the opportunity to find yourselves
in two countries within a day. Sailing at 09:00 from the tourist
port of Rhodes on board the catamaran “King Saron”, you will reach
the cosmopolitan Turkish resort town within an hour. Marmaris’
mountainside is surrounded by olive groves and surrenders to the
pine forests’ fragrance, giving the town a distinct Turkish scent. Take
a stroll along the Netsel Marina and view the yachts fastened in
their moorings. Catch a glimpse of Marmaris Castle and Museum,
take a historical trip to the era of the Ottoman Empire and enjoy the
stunning view of the marina. Enter a jewelry or a Turkish delights’
shop and discover one of Turkish tradition’s most important parts. As
for shopping lovers, meet the Bazaar -a typical eastern marketplace
with several shops- and choose among authentic Turkish keepsakes,
clothing, leather jackets, bags, shoes, spices and the traditional apple
tea. Enjoy a rejuvenating bath in an authentic Turkish hammam and
let yourself feel the oriental essence.
