Marmaris, on the northern part of the beautiful bay. A beach resort ,
Icmeler is set amidst stunning scenery at the foot of a range of
pine-covered mountains which
sweep down to form a huge cove. Since Icmeler is not to far from Marmaris
(about an hour's walk along the coast road, or only few minutes by car),
the town is also a good place to stay in for few nights, as well. Icmeler
has many new houses, hotels, motels and apart hotels' to go along with

families.
