Check the location of your luxury hotel carefully; some are situated centrally in the resort and some sprawl away from the town in lovely forest and hillside spots.

Top five attractions

Marmaris Castle and Museum

Cool off during hot summer days in Marmaris at this captivating castle, which features a museum. While it isn't packed with artefacts, the terrific views from the castle make the short trip here worthwhile.

Iztuzu Beach

Take a boat trip from Marmaris (or travel the long way round by road) to Iztuzu Beach, known as Turtle Beach for the loggerhead sea turtles that hatch here. The beach is protected but a guide will let you know where you can and cannot step.

Atlantis Waterpark

Dalyan mud baths
