Marmaris Port is surrounded by densily wooded mountains, splitted by ravines with some indentations bordered by pine forest. Marmaris Port lies in a diameter of 2,5 Mile and the depths are 30 m. The port is protected by Nimara (Yıldız) and Keçi Island from southerlies. Nimara Island is a peninsula, it is connected to the mainland with an isthmus called as Yalancı Boğaz.
The bay is connected to open sea by two passages. The passage Büyük Boğaz is 750 m wide and there are 38 m depths in the fairway. There are lights on both shores at the head of the passage.
Both shores are free from any obstacles. There are patches at İnceburun Light. Keep 30 m distance off. The passage between Keçi Adası and Mehmet Sarı Burnu is called as Küçük Boğaz, it is 465 m wide. An islet Kargı Adası stands in the middle in the passage. There are sufficient depths (about 38 m) on both sides and they are free of dangers. This stretch of coast is fully covered by hotels and summer sites. A nice boulevard behind the beach between Marmaris - İçmeler continues for 7 km. The settings are impressive among flowers and pine trees.
Swimming areas are cordoned off with buoys. Boats can be anchored off swimming buoys , paying attention with piers locations ashore.
The main anchorage to be tucked up is on the western side of the port. The bottom is sand-weed and it provides good holding. Boats swing at anchor in 8 - 14 m. Prevailing wind pushes swell in. Care is needed as this side gets very crowded by tripper boats and they constanly churn in and out. This anchorage becomes untenable when southerlies blow strong, it becomes too bumy. The anchorage on the northern side of Nimera Island affords sheltering from southerlies.
There are number of visiting boats and families winterizing afloat in Marmaris. Marmaris area carries typical Mediterranean climate characteristics- mild and rainy, relatively warm in winter and dry in summer.
Marmaris sits on the marvelous natural harbour where Lord Nelson organised his fleet for the attack on the French at Abukir in 1798.
