Marmaris

The town of Marmaris is located at the meeting place of the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Marmaris is one of the largest natural harbors in the world surrounded by pine-clad hills. Situated in the south-west of Turkey in Mugla province, Marmaris is one of Turkey's biggest holiday resorts. It is not known for certain when Marmaris was founded. However, as Marmaris previously known as Physkos, was part of the Carian Empire in the 6th century B.C. before she was overrun by the Lydians. Another invasion by the Lydians in 334 B.C. led to the partition of the Roman Empire ruled by Alexander the Great.
