Sailing in Turkey also allows visitors to experience the hospitality of the people in the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds blowing from west and northwest make the long summers ideal for yachting, and seem to encourage an appreciation of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's unspoilt and sheltered bays you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 meters above sea level.

In the vicinity of Marmaris there is another holiday destination that is developing called İçmeler (place of drinking water). This is ideal for those who want to enjoy the entertainment facilities of Marmaris but want to have a quite time during the day and be able to sleep soundly at night. Despite having numerous hotels the regulations that have been enacted mean that İçmeler is very green, full of flowers, has good and clear walking trails and its beach is always very clean.

The park inside the hamlet is almost like a botanic garden. The area behind the park, which is called Sanat Sokağı (Art Street), has a wide range of displays of the local traditional handcrafts and paintings from Marmaris-based artists.

The stream that divides the hamlet through its centre has been organised to add atmosphere to the beautiful hamlet. It is a colourful and lively part of İçmeler, with the two banks of the stream filled with stalls where souvenirs, gifts and handcrafts are sold.

İçmeler presents you with rich options for eating, drinking and entertainment. But for those who want even more Marmaris is just a few steps away. There are very frequent and regular transport links between Marmaris and İçmeler.

In the past, İçmeler used have healing springs but today do not look for them, your hunt will be in vain. Instead, you will have to make do with bottled water to kill your thirst.

İçmeler is also ideal for swimming and water sports. The aqua park right behind the main park in the centre is ideal for families with children. Despite lots of construction and growing numbers the hamlet’s waters and beach have remained clean. However, if you want an even cleaner sea and smaller crowds you should take a boat trip to the coves in the area.

QUAY

Approach from Marmaris is to be attempted from the south of Keçi Adası. A stream comes in the middle part of the beach. This side is shallow. Boats can be anchored off in 10 - 14 m. The bottom is weed-sand. Strong westerlies push swell from the mountains.

İçmeler is entered from the strait between Keçi Adası Lighthouse and Sarı Mehmet Burnu. There are considerable depths in the passage - around 36 m, and the passage is 38 m wide. There is an islet Karga Adası  in the middle, you can safely pass either side of it.
