While the development – some would say destruction – of Turkey’s Western littoral is well documented, it doesn’t take much to discover what drew the developers here in the first place. Just a step inland will take you tumbling back to the Turkey of the pre-’70s. From around a corner trots a dusky donkey chivvied on by its headscarfed owner, off to sell her half-dozen cheeses at the local market.
And even amid the highways, high-rises and discos, the beauty of the place still manages to shimmer through. Marmaris is as shocking for the stunning beauty of its natural harbouras it is for the concrete jungle engulfing its once-charming old town.
Named the ‘Turquoise Coast’ by early visitors, you can see why when skimming through the surf on board a gület – the region’s traditional wooden yacht.
And most development has its upside, or so some would see it. The region has recently become something of a Mecca for activities and adventure. You can walk the beautiful Lycian Way, paraglide over Ölüdeniz’s lovely lagoon, scuba dive at Kaş, or go canyoning at Saklıkent.
Best of all is the region’s seamless mix of history and holiday. A stroll at midnight along a beach in Olympos or Patara will suddenly send you back thousands of years as you pass a Lycian tomb or a tremendous Corinthian temple. And between the two extremes lie some quaint coastal towns still clinging to their origin al charm, such as Kalkan, Kekova, Kaş or the very beautiful Kaleköy. There are signs too that things are a-changing as the region’s authorities at last awaken to the importance of sensitive development Sea-kayak over the stunning sunken city of Üçağız (Kekova; p376)

MUĞLA
%0252 / pop 49,000
If only all of Turkey’s provincial capitals were
like Muğla, a compact, tree-lined city set in a
rich agricultural valley that prides itself on
having appointed Turkey’s first female vali
(governor).
Drop your bags at the otogar and walk
around the historic quarter for a couple of
hours – Muğla’s old Ottoman neighbour-
hoods, çay bahçesi (tea gardens) and markets
are a breath of fresh air after the many con-
crete resorts.
Orientation & Information
Muğla’s centre is Cumhuriyet Meydanı, the
traffic roundabout with the statue of Atatürk.
Everything you are likely to need is within
walking distance: the otogar is 1km downhill
(south), and the bazaar and historic quarter
500m uphill (due north) along İsmet İnönü
Caddesi.
The tourist office (%214 1261; fax 214 1244; Mar-
maris Bulvarı 24/1) is 100m past the Hotel Petek
in İl Turizm Müdürlüğü (Provincial Tourism
Directorate), on the main road running east
(on the right as you face uphill) from Cum-
huriyet Meydanı. It has a useful map of the
town centre (free)
Sights & Activities
Go north along İsmet İnönü Caddesi from
Cumhuriyet Meydanı to the Kurşunlu Cami,
which was built in 1494, repaired in 1853 and
had a minaret and courtyard added in 1900.
Nearby is the Ulu Cami (1344), dating from the
time of the Menteşe emirs, although repairs
made in the 19th-century have rendered its
pre-Ottoman design almost unrecognisable.
Continue walking north into the bazaar,
its narrow lanes jammed with artisans’ shops
and small local restaurants. Giant plane trees
add shade. Proceed up the hill to see Muğla’s
Ottoman houses, many of them in good condi-
tion. The winding alleys between whitewashed
walls give it a classic Mediterranean ambience.
Centuries ago there was a small fortress at the
top of the hill, but not a stone remains now.
Muğla’s museum (%214 4933; Eski Postahane Cad-
desi; admission €1.10; h8am-noon & 1-5pm) is close
to the belediye (town hall) and contains a
small but quite interesting collection of Greek
and Roman antiquities (with captions and
information panels in English) displayed in
rooms around a courtyard. There’s also a
room containing traditional arts and crafts.
The museum faces the beautiful Konakaltı
İskender Alper Kültür Merkezi, which houses a
community centre.
The Vakıflar Hamam (%214 2067; Mustafa Muğlalı
Caddesi 1; bath/massage €5/14; h6am-midnight), built
in 1344, has mixed bathing, though there’s a
separate women’s area too.
Sleeping & Eating
Otel Tuncer (%214 8251; Saatlı Kule Altı, Kütüphane

rock-bottom prices, this place is permanently
packed.
Doyum 98 (%214 2234; Cumhuriyet Caddesi 22;

köfte (grilled meatballs, €2.50). It has a few
tables outside.

the municipality after restoration, this 200-
year-old house is a lovely place to come for
breakfast or coffee. Peaceful and tranquil,
it’s popular with the locals who read or play
backgammon here. Prices are kept low by the
municipality.
Sanat Evi (%213 0220; Hekimbaşı Sokak 9; breakfast
€2.75, mains €2-3.50, beer €2.20; h7am-2am) In a 150-
year-old Ottoman house, this café is great for
a drink or bite to eat. At the back there’s a
delightful shaded terrace beside a small pool
that resonates with birdsong or the strains of
classical Turkish music. The chef serves dif-
ferent Muğla dishes daily.
Getting There & Away
Muğla’s busy otogar runs services to all major
destinations in the region. For points along the
Mediterranean coast east of Marmaris, you
may have to take a bus to Marmaris first and
change there. Buses leave every half-hour (one
hour in low season) to Marmaris (€2.75, one
hour, 55km), to Bodrum (€6.10, 2½ hours)
every half-hour (one an hour in low season).
And even amid the highways, high-rises and discos, the beauty of the place still manages to shimmer through. Marmaris is as shocking for the stunning beauty of its natural harbouras it is for the concrete jungle engulfing its once-charming old town.

GÖKOVA (AKYAKA)
0252
About 30km north of Marmaris the road from
Muğla comes over the Sakar Geçidi (Sakar
Pass; 670m) to reveal breathtaking views of
the Gulf of Gökova. It then switchbacks down
into a fertile valley.
At the base of the hill, signs point the way
to Akyaka, often called Gökova after the
beautiful bay nearby. Backed by pine-clad
mountains, this village descends to a little
grey sand beach beside a river mouth. There
are attractive two-storey houses with pantile
roofs and intricate wooden balconies.
Every Saturday there is a busy market in the
centre of town. The local boat cooperative
runs tours of beaches along the gulf, which
make a nice day trip for around €15.
Yücelen Hotel Sports Club (%243 5434; www

Minibuses run from Gökova to Muğla (€1.10,
30 minutes, 26km) every half-hour, and to
Marmaris (€1.40, 30 minutes) twice a day in
high season only. Minibuses coming from
Marmaris can drop you at the highway junc-
tion, from where it’s about a 2.5km walk down
to the beach or you can wait for a minibus.
MARMARİS
0252 / pop 35,160
The once-sleepy fishing village of Marmaris
sits on the marvellous natural harbour where
Lord Nelson organised his fleet for the attack
on the French at Abukir in 1798. The setting
may still be glorious but the picturesque old
part of town around the harbour and castle is
now all but lost in the concrete sprawl trailing
off to the west.
In the summer the town’s population swells
to around 200,000, mostly package holiday-
makers. The bazaar is full of expensive sou-
venirs and budget tourists, the streets are full
of traffic, and the restaurant scene is based on
fish and chips with beer by the gallon. But, to
its credit, the town council has woken up and
the harbourside promenade now boasts some
handsome albeit modern stone buildings. The
town also has a disarmingly liberal attitude –
there aren’t many other places in Turkey
where a bikini-clad, tattooed tourist drain-
ing a can of beer on the main street at noon
doesn’t raise an eyebrow.
If it’s a last night out, a boat cruise or a
ferry to Greece you’re after, this is the place.
Marmaris still has Turkey’s largest and most
modern yacht marina and is consequently the
country’s busiest yacht-charter port; and the
bar district and harbour have a great range of
places to drink.
The rugged coastline around Marmaris
is an undiscovered gem – only 10km from
Marmaris’ bright lights, the deeply indented
coastline holds bays of azure sea backed by
pine-covered mountains. When you need to
escape, hire a car or motorcycle and cruise
around the rugged Reşadiye and Hisarönü
Peninsulas.
Orientation
The otogar is about 3km north of the town
centre. From there, dolmuşes run down the
wide Ulusal Egemenlik Bulvarı and deposit
arrivals at the Tansaş Shopping Centre, which
is a useful landmark, as well as at the Siteler
dolmuş stop.
At the end of Ulusal Egemenlik Bulvarı,
marked by the obligatory Atatürk statue, Yeni
Kordon Caddesi veers left along the water-
front for 300m to the İskele Meydanı, the
harbourside plaza with the tourist office. The
conservation area behind, above and south of
the office has some of Marmaris’ few remain-
ing old buildings, including its small castle
(now a museum).
Inland from İskele Meydanı stretches the
çarşı (bazaar) district, much of it a pedestri-
anised covered bazaar.
Also known as Hacı Mustafa Sokak and –
popularly – Bar St, 39 Sokak runs from the
bazaar to a canal from where a bridge leads
over to the marina.
Uzunyalı, a beach district full of hotels and
tourist restaurants, is about 3km west of İskele
Meydanı; Siteler, also called Şirinyer, is about
5km southwest of İskele Meydanı; and İçmeler,
another beach resort area, is 8km southwest.
About 1km southeast of town is the har-
bour for ferries to Rhodes; 3.5km southeast
of the centre is Günlücek Park, a forest park
reserve; and just beyond it is Aktaş, a relatively
unspoiled seaside village with several hotels
and camping grounds.
Information
There is a cluster of internet cafés in the alley
beside the PTT. There are plenty of banks
with ATMs and money-exchange offices on
Ulusal Egemenlik Bulvarı and Yeni Kordon
Caddesi.
Minibuses run from Gökova to Muğla (€1.10,
30 minutes, 26km) every half-hour, and to
