There was rumours that the Taj Mahal in Marmaris was being rebuilt and may not be ready for the season - does anyone know if it`s open??
As the Marmaris one supplies the lovely curries to the Icmeler one!

Yes it is open, never got round to trying it out - but it looks very nice. Much better than the old place

The whole block has been been rebuilt with with a few new shops etc - Think it is named 'Karacan Plaza'

Dear ladyjan,

You must have been somewhere else other than Marmaris because I was there also just this last weekend and for me it was packed and there were many place opened late into the night.

We stayed at Hotel Selen just off the water front and I could hear the music from the outside bars well past midnight.

This past weekend was a turkish national holiday ( Nationl Youth and Sports holiday ) and there were loads of tourists, locals, and our swimming groups from different cities in Turkey.

There were fireworks, concerts, parades etc etc. All in all we had a good weekend

Hi everyone, im off to Turkey in 36 days and counting (1st of July) staying at the Konak apartments in Marmaris. I was wondering if there are any gay clubs in Marmaris? Thanks to any replys

Hope someone can help.......we're off to Marmaris in July, staying at the Zevkim (behind McDonalds).

We went last year & found ourselves getting into a rut in the evenings.
- Meet in hotel bar for a few drinks
- Go to Crossroads Restaurant for a meal
- Walk along main road or down to the bazzar or around the harbour.

This year we'd really like to do something different. The age of our group is form 30-66. We don't mind live music as long as it's not too loud, but are not major drinkers.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Noty sure where my oringinal post of this has gone! Can't seem to find it!!!!!

We're off to Marmaris on July 22nd to stay at the Zevkim (behind McDonalds & opposite Gima centre).

Last year we got in a bit of a rut in the evenings, meeting in the bar, going for something to eat & then a walk either along the main road or to the bazzar.

Has anyone got any suggestions? Our group is aged between 30 & 66, none of us are big drinkers but we like live music (60's stuff mainly).

Hi we have been to marmaris a couple of times and just thought i would let people know about some of our favourite places to eat.

Natalies for us is an absolute must visit when we go to marmaris. . Although a little dearer than most places in marmaris its so very worth it. The steaks are more like small joints of beef i have never seen anything like them anywhere and all served with fresh veg potatoes etc etc.

Also the staff are the most friendly and accomodating you will find, while we were there a couple of years ago they decorated the restaraunt and provided the hugest birthday cake we have ever seen for my mums birthday all this was very cheep indeed, Natalies can be well recommended for special occasions.

Natalies is located on the beach front but just ask everbody knows where it is.

Another fantastic place to try is a place called the Ibiza located not far from the julian hotel i had the most fantastic turkish stew here it was that good we went back 3 times and it was as enjoyable each time.

If you are looking for an authentic british sunday roast then the only place to go is the Portofino restaurant its owned by the most lovely scottish lady and her just as lovely turkish husband. The sunday roast is fantstic and is proper beef yorkshire pud and all the trimmings with apple pie and custard for afters ( its also served all through the week ). Aside from this they also serve all other traditional british meals.

I hope this is usefull to anyone visiting marmaris for the first time have fun.
