A varied town

Dotted with gorgeous hills of pine, olive and cypress trees, Icmeler is a real scenic setting. It’s a little quieter than its lively neighbour Marmaris, but there’s still a buzzy feel to the resort. The sweeping bay’s surrounded by cliffsides brushed with dense forests, and you’ll find plenty of pretty parasols lined up on the inviting soft sands.

Local life

There’s a typically Turkish glow to this resort. Embrace the local customs and peruse the markets, or simply sit down to tasty traditional cuisine done well. If you fancy getting your hands a bit dirtier – or rather your boots – then hike up into the mountains and stare out at staggering views.
