First time visitors to Marmaris should definitely experience the Turkish bath, its one of those things that you should do. It will leave your skin feeling lovely! Recommend going for one in the beginning of your holiday, as it will remove the dead skin on the surface, giving you a long lasting healthy tan.

Keep a sense of humour with you when you are in and out of shops as you might get some hassle from the shopkeepers but they are more friendly than other countries nearby.

Try to learn a little Turkish. It will be great fun, and nice for the locals.

Make sure that you have some kind of footwear at all times even on the beach as it is very shingly.

Make sure you shop around for jewelry ,don't buy the first thing you like as a lot of the jewelers sell items very similar to each other but the mark ups can be very high at some of them.
