- Vince HCambridge, United Kingdom22 contributionsGreat trip round Marmaris Castle/MuseumThe castle is very well restored and very interesting. The museum is part of the castle itself and has a wide selection of Amphorae and other artefacts. The views from the ramparts are beautiful and it was a very good experience. On the climb up to the castle there are a couple of really nice cafes. Try the Turkish coffee!Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 October 2023
- StretchingcatExeter, United Kingdom23 contributionsGreat views from this well maintained siteA beautiful site with stunning views around to the marina and out to sea. Informative displays and good selection of artefacts, jewellery, pots and amphorae. Toilet on site (free). Lovely planting within the castle too which made the whole thing even more scenic. Spent an enjoyable hour or so here. Note: We visited after reading about it in The Times where they got the pricing wildly wrong (as in,'this costs pennies')! Entrance fee was €6 each I think, which is probably fair as it is a well maintained historical/archaeological site.Visited April 2024Travelled with familyWritten 24 April 2024
- CumbrianCamelLoverPenrith, United Kingdom282 contributionsHighly recommend visitingLovely well kept musuem. It took a while to find the entrance. We saw signposts to museum but thought that was separate to the castle, it wasn't! Once in, paying a small fee, we found a lovely small castle with pleasant garden and amazing views. The artefacts are well presented with just enough info to not get overwelming. Highly recommend.Visited September 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 26 September 2024

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The only notable tourist attraction in Marmaris. Not very impressive either. Built in 1522, beautifully renovated.
It also houses a so-called archeological museum. Nothing spectacular: pottery, remains of statues, remains of columns, tombstones, ornaments, arranged in three small rooms.
Open daily 10: 00-19: 30, 27TL ticket.
An additional reason to visit it is the fact that it offers a nice panoramic view of the marina and the old town.

Have visited Marmaris many times but first time visiting the castle and museum, the location is signposted and once found those it’s easy to find.
There is no shop or cafe at the castle, pushchairs have to be left at the entrance and very strict rules on no food or drink even in the heat!!!!!
It was 40 lire for adults and the. Nils was free, we spent a while walking around and it’s great for some lovely pictures and views. The little rooms of artefacts etc was interesting and air con in them was a relief!
There are toilets available and benches to sit on.
Staff and security guard bit over friendly but otherwise a nice thing to do in Marmaris.

Visited the castle and was really surprised at how artifacts where displayed. The views are also totally amazing and there are lots of little souvenir shops on the way. Open 7 days a week and currently 8tl entry per person.

This is a beautiful castle to visit, it is nestled in the old town in Marmaris, so the journey up the hill through the quaint old town is worth the visit itself. Lots of small winding lanes and lovely quaint restaurants, I went midday but I imagine it is a really special place in the evening. The castle itself was a real treasure, it had the right amount of historical context and artefacts without overkill, you can walk anywhere including all the turrets, it is steep in places but the views are worth it, as the castle is intact you get a real sense of how important it was in its day, the history adds context and the museum pieces are all around the open space and not just behind glass in a museum environment, for 100 lira I thought it was a great place to spend a couple of hours and enjoyed my visit immensely, worth checking out if you have an interest in history

Note: We visited after reading about it in The Times where they got the pricing wildly wrong (as in,'this costs pennies')! Entrance fee was €6 each I think, which is probably fair as it is a well maintained historical/archaeological site.

Nice castle which to be fair has some nice artefacts around the place,but not enough to really go out of your way for.
Very heavily restored, which isn't surprising, but restored with modern brick etc...which can look at bit strange.
A nice point is it has beautiful views ,around £3 to get in.

A small castle on a hill overlooking the city, very close to the port of Marmaris. You can reach it in a short time by going uphill through narrow streets. Museumcard is valid. Free for students, civil servants, over 65 years of age. There is a cute museum inside. If you go to the top, the view from the towers is magnificent. If you go to Marmaris, it is definitely a must-visit location.

At 18tl to get in, it is a bit of a bargain. Well laid out with interesting artifacts well labelled. The views from the top across the harbour are incredible. We went about 2pm which we think was about right as it was getting very busy as we were leaving.
