Its story

Marmaris Castle stands on the old town's small peninsula, overlooking the harbor. According to sources, the castle was rebuilt by Süleyman I during the Rhodes campaign of 1522. Its courtyard and rooms now house the Marmaris Museum, where archaeological and ethnographic artifacts are displayed. The old-town fabric surrounded by narrow streets and the marina seen from the walls are among the best parts of the visit.
