For those with a thirst for sightseeing, Icmeler is a mere 8 kilometers from Marmaris, and most tourist hot spots in and around Marmaris are easily accessible from this vacation spot. Constructed by the Ionians, the Marmaris Castle is 8 km from Icmeler and is now a museum which houses the most amazing collection of archaeological, historical, ethnographic and nautical exhibits.

Take some time off and drive leisurely out of town, to drink in the natural beauty of the surroundings and catch a glimpse of the remnants of an ancient civilization.With its picture-postcard beauty and clusters of Ottoman style wooden houses, Gökova, North of Marmaris, is a well known stopover for yachts that navigate the straits.
