Paradise Island

paradise island 2Paradise Island to the south of Marmaris, linked to the mainland by a causeway, was known as Nimera in ancient times and the remains of a monastery can still be seen. The island offers scenic beauty, fine beaches and views across the bay to Marmaris itself and its phosphorescent rocks in the caves reflect the blue of the sea, giving it its alternative name, Blue Cave.

On the south of the island lies Aquarium Bay, a lunch stop for many of the boat trips and much loved by photographers for the unspoiled natural beauty and the unbelievable range of blues in the sea.

Gokova

paradise island 2Gökova is situated on the 27th kilometer (16th mile) of the Marmaris-Mugla road. The road enters the Gökova turnoff is lined with eucalyptus trees, forming a naturel tee-tunnel about a kilometer (half-a-mile) long. Passing through this wonderful canopy makes for a beautiful and exciting drive. Each corner of the bay offers different sites of beauty. Many stopover points of the blue voyage cruises are also located here. Thus, it is an important route between Marmaris and Bodrum. Bördübet, Karacasögüt, Okluk, Ingiliz Limani, Löngöz, and Yedi Adalar ( Seven Islands) are among the coves embraced by the bay. At the 30th kilometer (19th mile) away from Marmaris, while climbing up the steep and curvy road to Sakar Tepe in Gökova, looking out at the green of the plain and the blue of the sea in one breath will constitute unforgettable holiday memories. The bay, the plain, and the surrounding area just cannot be described by putting pen to paper; seeing them, experiencing them in person is a true necessity.
