This picturesque resort town along Turkey’s southeastern coast is just a few miles down the road from the lively Marmaris, offering a quieter visit for those who like to be close to nature while enjoying easy access to a buzzing town.

This pretty town is tucked away in a stunning bay along the Mediterranean coast, offering a combination of gentle sea, rugged mountains and lush greenery. People are drawn here for nature; the mountains are ideal for hiking and exploring, with trails embedded into peaceful valleys and pathways that lead to panoramic viewpoints and hidden coves. There’s also a scenic coastal promenade between Içmeler and Marmaris for those who don’t want to venture up into the mountains. You can stroll or rent bikes to explore the route, with plenty of places to stop for authentic Turkish cuisine and ice cream along the way.
