MARMARIS

While leaving Mugla amids fruit gardens and hills covered with solid green and heath, the road starts to ascent up along the climbing lane. At the top you will be fascinated at the sight of extended restless and blue waters of Gokova bay. A drive along the twisting road streching down to sea level affords you a magniflcient view of the bay, fringed by pine forests and fragrant oleander shrubs that cascade down to the shore. Then comes an avenue of eucalyptus trees providing welcome shade from the .sun. Then you'll be alone with Marmaris to enjoy endless entertaintmc: nts of the plea.sant nights and twittering sunny days.
