We had chosen Laguna hotel in Icmeler district (15 minutes to Marmaris by minibuses), small affordable but very nice hotel. Here are some photos of this lovely hotel, from Icmeler and 2 more from Marmaris center at the end of the article. The room and beach has an amazing panoramic view. The beach is soft sand and laying under long palm trees are just great. The bar near the pool is unique as well and you sit under the water for a cool feeling. We especially liked the music provided here 3 nights a week including entertaining but not loud Mediterranean guitar music and a Turkish night which is full of traditional food and cultural activities like music and dances. I also suggest you to not always stay in the hotel and go to the bars&clubs street in Marmaris. This place is fun, lively and provides everything for the tourists who seek entertainment without borders as well. You can go crazy here. Don’t worry natives of this place also like it.

I will not talk about the facilities in the hotel because now almost all hotel in this district are all inclusive with every facility you can imagine including excellent food, restaurants, sporting, SPA activities etc. For us, the pleasure for the soul, eyes were the priority and we left our holiday with great feelings. If you want to choose this hotel first check booking.com because they compare over 30 of major hotel reservation websites at once. You just enter your destination and this service finds all the rates from these websites for an easy comparison. Check Laguna Hotel here: Marmaris Hotels And one more addition, don’t miss the offers for yacht tours and attraction offers for historical places (lots of Roman, Greek ruins around), Pamukkale and rafting as well.

Let’s start from Istanbul, which is the cultural and historical highlight of Byzantine and Ottoman empires. The places you should certainly visit are Spice Bazaar (Plenty of mystical spices, Ottoman recipes), Topkapi Palace (The home of Sultans), Hagia Sophia (One of the largest cathedrals in the world which was built around 1500 years ago by Byzantines) , Miniaturk (A park where you can see around 100 miniature models which perfectly reflects the architectural and natural wonders of centuries that reside in Anatolia and Istanbul), Bosphorus Cruise (It is the best way to see what gems are near the shores of Europe and Asia including historical ancient Ottoman villas).

After spending one or two days at Istanbul you should continue to Canakkale which is known for its Troy history/findings and Gallipoli where bloodiest First World War battle between Allied forces (Mostly ANZACs) against Ottoman empire took place. You can see the trenches and battle areas. By the way, you can begin swimming because after this part of Turkey to the down, the Aegean sea is wonderful.

After Canakkale, you should continue with Kusadasi, Marmaris and Pamukkale. Some of the most famous attractions are Ephesus ( Ancient large preserved Roman city with lots of spectacular ruins and ancient theaters, burials, baths etc). Marmaris is your stop for entertainment and crazy night life (If you seek). This tourism center has excellent sea near the beautiful forests where you can use many camping sites as well.

Your next destination will be rafting at Dalaman river and Pamukkale which is a world heritage site. You will see a mountain of pure white like snow. Actually these are calcium stones piled by warm/hot waters through thousands of years. You can walk and even become stay under this mineral water as well.

These are the must-see destinations when you hire a car. And I can easily say that it is just the top of the iceberg which is waiting to be discovered by you. Turkey is a nice destination for a larger Europe travel plan as well. Be sure that it is in your path.

Did you know that Istanbul is a city of underground cisterns? There are hundreds of them beneath Istanbul. Yerebatan Sarnici (The Basilica Cistern in English) is one of the largest cistern in the world and one of the most popular tourist attractions of Istanbul. This facility, preserved up to the present day, was built in the 6th century by order of Emperor Justinian as a reservoir for the Great Palace of the Byzantine Empire. It is 140 m long and 70 m wide. The vault is supported by 336 columns, 8 m tall. After the invasion of Istanbul by Ottomans, they didn’t notice the cistern almost 100 years. Then, it is discovered because people were fishing there.

Pulsing lights, water dripping from the ceiling and music played over strategically placed speakers add an air of mystery to the place. You can see fish swimming in several areas.

It is a tradition to throw coins and wish for. Interestingly there are two Medusa heads supporting the column as in the photos heads down. According to some sources, they were placed intentionally at that position to humiliate pagan cultures and previous Roman religion. As a fun fact, James Bond canoed his way through the cistern in a scene from From Russia With Love movie!

There are several cultural activities like acoustic concerts, exhibitions during the year. There is a small cafe inside where you can drink coffee and feel the athmosphere.

Located near to Hagia Sophia in Sultanahmet region.
