    The tiny port of Marmaris  
    is tucked into the deep recesses of a pretty bay, framed by pine-clad 
    mountains.  Many  visitors use Marmaris as a starting point for 
    trips to Caunos, an important ancient city famed for its rock tombs. In 
    town, attractions include the statue of Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the 
    Turkish Republic. Also interesting to see is the Menzilhane, an Ottoman 
    version of a pony express station. It dates back to the days of Sultan 
    Süleyman the Magnificent, who ordered the station built in 1545. Beyond 
    that, one can simply spend a lazy day in the sun or join locals and fellow 
    visitors in a waterfront taverna. 
    
        Pier InformationThe ship is scheduled to dock at the Port of Marmaris. It is a 10-minute 
        drive into the town center. Taxis are generally available.
 
        ShoppingLocal shops feature a wide variety of merchandise, including leather 
        articles, carpets, jewelry, meerschaum pipes, copper, objects carved 
        from onyx, and hand-crafted souvenirs.
 
        CuisineIt is best to stroll along the waterfront and look for a restaurant that 
        looks busy and popular. The best choice of restaurants can be found in 
        the marina area; many offer outside dining and fresh seafood.
 
        Other SightsPromenade. It's fun to stroll along the palm-lined promenade that 
        runs parallel to the waterfront. The tourist information office is 
        located here.
 Beaches. Approximately 10 minutes by taxi are good, sandy 
        beaches, backed by green mountains. Seaside resorts here are somewhat 
        less crowded than those at Marmaris. The clear waters of the Aegean are 
        ideal for swimming and water sports, including scuba diving offered at 
        Hotel Mares, four miles from Marmaris.
