Icmeler
is a beautiful beach resort only
8 kilometers from the large and
vibrant
resort of
Marmaris. This
pine forested heaven is infused
with all the atmosphere of both
the Mediterranean and the Aegean
Seas and is truly picturesque
against the backdrop of
magnificent Taurus Mountains. Drifting
away amongst palm trees and
Eucalyptus on the stunning Icmeler beach may well be your
idea of the perfect holiday, but
if that’s not enough, a wide
range of sporting and cultural
activities and excursions will
ensure that there’s always
plenty to do.
This
olive and honey farming community is
home to the best plant for producing
oxygen in the world, the Sigla (or
Gunnuk), which only found here and
in California. This plant and the
pristine forests and the beach
(which has been given the Blue Flag
eco-award) create one of the most
revitalizing surroundings for a
beach holiday. Icmeler’s exemplary
tourist facilities, which include a
great many water sports, are
harmoniously incorporated into the
natural habitat of the area. The
nightlife is vibrant and there are
plenty of restaurants, bars and
nightclubs to choose from, and just
down the road, the many
Marmaris nightclubs provide
nights not far off those found in
Ibiza. |

Things
to Do & See in Icmeler
You can collect yourself
and the sun on the superb Icmeler
beach which lies next to clear and
azure waters, which host a myriad of
different water sports. The Icmeler
beach offers 6km of fine golden sand
in peaceful surroundings, and the
beach is cleaned every night
ensuring that it’s immaculate every
morning. Hire a parasol to relax on
the beach, or jump on the back of a
jet ski, banana boat, ringo, pair of
water skis or any of the other water
sports equipment available here.
Admire the scenery from a parasail
in the sky or hire out a small boat
for some fishing. You can also scuba
dive whether you’re a beginner or an
expert, which is also an excellent
way to get your kids off the beach
for a day. Once your kids have been
prized away from the beach, take
them to the Adaland water park; the
biggest water park in Europe.
If you’re an adrenalin junkie, take
to the off-road with some quad
biking. You’ll head up, around and
down some of the forested hills
around
Icmeler, and the highest
points will offer breath-taking
views. If you’re a devout
thrill-seeker, this is the best way
to admire what this area has to
offer.
If you can’t wait to
take some impressive
photos but don’t fancy
hanging onto the back of
a quad-bike, take the
scenic route on a jeep safari. Get
driven through the
wilderness and into
quiet, traditional
villages. The safari
also stops off at
untouched bays for a few
swimming breaks.
If you like get as pampered as
possible or need a bit of
refreshment after a day on a beach
or on safari, a trip to a Turkish
bath is all that’s needed to fully
recharge you. Relax in one of the
bath alcoves surrounded by
traditional Turkish architecture,
before getting a sublime massage or
body scrub. Definitely not to be
missed on any
Turkey holidays.
