Set in a deep, mountain-ringed bay where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, Marmaris is one of the most rewarding places in Turkey to start a private gulet holiday. It is just 90 minutes from Dalaman Airport, which has direct flights from across the UK, and within a few hours of cruising you can be swimming off pine-fringed coves, exploring ancient Kaunos or crossing to the Greek island of Symi.
