Marmaris is a hub from which you could many shorts tours to many historic sites. You can take a trip to Ephesus, about 240 km away from Marmaris. This is probably one of the best preserved remains of the Roman Empire; when you walk through the streets of this old city, the way people lived and the houses and buildings in which they lived and worked in the Roman Empire almost come alive.

Go and see Parnukkale. You will never come across a unique sight like that of the so-called "Cotton Castle" at Parnukkale. The ever-flowing natural spring waters, which are so very rich in calcium, cascade down the hill; and as calcium reacts with carbon dioxide in atmosphere, it turns in chalk. This forms the famous travertines of different colors and shapes, in terrace-like forms, with pools and overhanging fascinating stalactite shapes. The ruined city of Hierapolis which dates back to 2000 BC lies buried here. The water here is good for many allergies, skin diseases, blood pressure, etc.
