Icmeler is located in the western part of Marmaris Bay, in a wonderfully picturesque bay seven kilometres west of the city, and relaxation here is a pleasure. Icmeler Bay is a magnificent natural formation unlike any other place. This place in recent years is becoming more popular among beach lovers due to the clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea and beautiful sand and pebble beaches.
Icmeler is a wonderfully cosy place. The town got its name thanks to the spring water, which has a favourable effect on the digestive system. There used to be a lot of water springs here, a few preserved ones can be seen even now by driving deep into the town.
Icmeler from Turkish translates as "lost paradise", which is completely true: green mountainsides descend directly to the sandy beaches, and the turquoise sea under the blue sky is a great place for water sports. Icmeler is especially suitable for family holidays. The sea here is always calm, smooth as a mirror and crystal clear, which is great to see the bottom for a few metres and busily scurrying back and forth multicoloured fish.
Icmeler's mild climate throughout the year creates excellent conditions for recovery and recreation. The resort welcomes shocked travellers with majestic mountain tops covered with pine forests. The mountains protect it from bad weather and winds. The air here is so clean and fresh that it takes your breath away.
Icmeler was recently part of the resort area of Marmaris, but recently it has quickly become a self-sufficient holiday destination with an excellent tourist infrastructure. All along the coastline there are a large number of expensive hotels and inns, some of which have a territory that amazes with its unusual design and size. Moreover, all hotels in the cosy town are located very close to the sea, so to get to the beautiful, framed by gardens beach, you do not have to make a long hike, and the first-class level of service in hotels will make your holiday even more pleasant.
The sea in the bay is well heated and always calm, which is an important fact when holidaying with children. For kids there are playgrounds and attractions. Adults can visit the city market, shopping centre, various discos, as well as just walk along the pedestrian zone leading to Marmaris.
At your service are numerous bars, restaurants, boutiques, etc. If you get closer to the mountains, you can visit Icmeler's village of Koyici, where you are always welcome to visit. When you leave the village and continue towards the mountains, you will come to a large park. There you can admire exotic plants and enjoy the clean air. You can also stroll along the cosy streets of the open market, where local craftsmen sell their wares.
Icmeler offers a wide range of entertainment. For example, those who like active holidays will enjoy water skiing, banana, jet skiing, cycling, windsurfing, fishing, diving and rafting. You can also go horseback riding at the ranch or try your hand at a jeep safari.
Walking around Icmeler itself is also very exciting. And if you want to have fun, you are welcome to the numerous discos of Marmaris, which you can quickly reach by a special free shuttle bus.
