Amos Bay

Amos Bay, located just 1 km away from the Ancient City of Amos on the Kumlubük road, is easily accessible either by foot or by renting a boat from the nearby beaches. While reaching the bay on foot requires a slightly challenging walk from the hill where the ancient city stands, the effort is well worth it. Alternatively, a boat ride along the coast provides a scenic and convenient option. This hidden gem of a bay remains relatively unknown and uncrowded, offering a serene and tranquil experience. With its crystal-clear waters resembling glass, it presents an inviting oasis. Within the bay, there is only one establishment available, allowing you to rent a sunbed for added comfort or simply relax on your own towel and enjoy the peacefulness of the surroundings.

Çiftlik Bay

Çiftlik Bay is a beloved destination known for its stunningly beautiful sea among those familiar with the region. The mesmerizing bright turquoise water will leave you in awe and make it difficult to forget. Accessing the bay is possible by driving through Bayır Village, which takes approximately 30 minutes. However, it is important to note that the road leading to the bay is winding and rough. Once you arrive, you'll discover a vibrant bay with numerous pensions, restaurants, and even a public beach. One unique feature of the bay is the islet situated just opposite the beach. Swimming in the waters around this islet will give you an extraordinary experience akin to swimming in an aquarium, surrounded by captivating marine life.

Kumlubük Bay

Situated adjacent to the ancient city of Amos, Kumlubük Bay boasts a spacious beach that is easily accessible by car. The beach entrance is free of charge, and there is a convenient parking area for visitors opting to enjoy a vacation in Marmaris. Due to the limited number of facilities along the bay, it remains pleasantly uncrowded. With its pebbly shoreline and serene waters, Kumlubük Bay offers a legendary view that is truly captivating. The calmness of the water makes it a popular choice among snorkelers, adding to its appeal as one of the preferred destinations for underwater exploration.

Turunç Bay

Turunç Bay holds a prominent position as one of the renowned vacation destinations in Marmaris. Whether you choose to drive or utilize the minibuses available at the bus station, you can conveniently reach this popular spot located 21 km away from the city center in just 30 minutes. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a pristine bay with a lengthy beach where entry is free of charge. The allure of the crystal-clear waters and the inviting beach will tempt you to spend the entire day there. The beach itself offers a mix of pebbly and sandy areas, allowing you to choose the side that suits your preferences. Along the coastline, you'll also find a range of markets, restaurants, and establishments to cater to all your needs, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience during your visit.

Gebekse Bay

Gebekse Bay, also known as Gebe Church, is a hidden paradise hidden in the Inceburun Peninsula of Osmaniye. There is a church and ancient ruins dating back to the Byzantine period. According to the legend, pregnant women used to visit this church in the past, so the name Gebe Church turned into Gebekse over time. There is no land transportation to the bay, but you can reach it by renting a boat. Since it is inside the bay, there is no wind and the sea looks like a pool.

Cennet Bay

You can reach Cennet Bay, which lives up to its name (Cennet - Paradise)  to the fullest, with a 10-minute walk from the Sığ Liman Beach in Selimiye. If you are going by car, you can leave your car in the area reserved for vehicles before you arrive at the beach. The minibuses from Marmaris bus station to Selimiye reach the area in 45 minutes. Besides the deep blue sea, it is a peaceful place with its calmness and silence. Do not forget to take sea shoes with you as there are plenty of sea urchins on the shores.
