My daughter has just booked a holiday for the two of us to Marmaris next month.
Does anyone have any useful tips on Marmaris and interesting excursions in the surrounding area?

Most of Marmaris, to a large degree, has been ruined.
The tavernas in the most picturesque part of the town (round the port) are dominated by huge flat-screen TVs overlooking their outside areas. If there is any football on anywhere in the world it will be shown at full volume (just the job when you’re after a quiet meal after a day relaxing by the pool). The area of lanes behind the port contain one or two quieter more traditional establishments but the quaintest area immediately behind the port consists of a narrow lane containing what were fishermen’s’ sheds. Just about all of these have been converted to tatty bars with 200 decibel sound systems.
To the east of the centre of town, where most of the accommodation is, there is a nice promenade with a few tavernas overlooking the sea (but again with footy on the telly). At the far end of the town are such quintessentially Turkish establishments such as The Ibrox Bar, The Goodison Bar, The Old Trafford Bar and the Anfield Bar.
Of course it depends what you're looking for and we managed to have a nice time once we'd discovered where to go.But be prepared – quaint it aint!
