May 2010
Hello / Merhaba from Marmaris!
The progress of the season in Marmaris is
measured by the number of open places, the visitors and the weather. One
of the major places in Marmaris is Atlantis waterpark has opened its
doors this morning May 10th which is 10 days earlier than its previously
announced date. This sets Marmaris into the summer mode, accompanied by
hot sunny weather.
The resort is becoming busier every day, despite all the pessimism in
neighbour countries and Europe caused by volcanic activity in Iceland.
Marmaris remains a unique place where visitors mix with the locals, most
holiday accommodation is within the community and visitors to Marmaris
very quicly make friends with the locals. Shopkeepers and restaurants
staff get to know their clients by name and visitors often find
themselves invited to various family celebrations.

May is a popular month with walkers and
older visitors who prefer to enjoy an early start to summer. This is the
time of year when Marmaris welcomes gorgeous cruise vessels which is not
only a stop over, but also the home port for four exciting cruises this
season. Cruise lovers will be enticed to catch a flight to Dalaman or
Bodrum to board their holiday ship after Marmaris was chosen as homeport
for four different itineraries this year. The decision to use Marmaris
as the homeport promises to increase tourist arrivals both by sea and
air. Thomson Celebration cruise has first set off on Monday May 03rd
2010 on a trip from May 03 to May 10, 2010. This is the second week of
operation and this time the vessel will take passengers around the East
Med from Marmaris to Alexandria, Port Said, Ashdod, Larnaca, Antalya and
will return to Marmaris.

While in Marmaris spoil yourself and replenish your energies at a Turkish bath. Wander
through the traditional shopping streets where you can find goods
ranging from handicraft to contemporary design. As you stroll through
the historic centre of Marmaris, lose yourself for a while browsing in
the shops or relaxing in the downtown cafés. At night, walk down to the
the marina for dinner or Turkish desserts.
