Around the Bay of Marmaris on
the southwest side is İçmeler (EECH-meh-LEHR, map),
a seaside vacation "suburb" of
Marmaris.
Shuttle boats cruise across the bay
regularly between Marmaris and İçmeler,
and minibuses make the 5-km (3-mile)
trip frequently, but holiday-makers
in İçmeler
might just as well stay put: the beach
is good, the views fine, the noise
and traffic levelsmuch lower in İçmeler than
in Marmaris.
İçmeler is
a fine base for excursions to the less-developed
towns of Bozburun and Datça out
on the peninsulas that jut westward
into the Mediterranean.
Marmaris is the major transport point
on the bay, so go there to catch an
intercity bus, or the airport
bus to
Dalaman Airport.
