'''Marmaris''' ({{IPA|tr|ˈmaɾmaɾis}}) is a municipality and [[Districts of Turkey|district]] of [[Muğla Province]], [[Turkey]].<ref>[https://www.e-icisleri.gov.tr/Anasayfa/MulkiIdariBolumleri.aspx Büyükşehir İlçe Belediyesi] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150706215822/https://www.e-icisleri.gov.tr/Anasayfa/MulkiIdariBolumleri.aspx |date=2015-07-06 }}, Turkey Civil Administration Departments Inventory.

Although Marmaris is known for its [[honey]], its main source of income is [[Tourism in Turkey|international tourism]]. It is located between two intersecting sets of mountains by the sea, though following a construction boom in the 1980s, little is left of the sleepy fishing village that Marmaris was until the late 20th century. 

As an adjunct to the tourism industry, Marmaris is also a centre for [[sailing]] and [[Underwater diving|diving]], possessing two major and several smaller [[marina]]s. It is a popular wintering location for hundreds of cruising boaters.

[[Dalaman Airport]] is an hour's drive to the east.

Ferries operate from Marmaris to [[Rhodes]] and [[Symi]] in [[Greece]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sea Dreams - Ferry Booking, timetables and tickets |url=https://www.directferries.co.uk/sea_dreams.htm |access-date=2022-11-09 |website=www.directferries.co.uk |language=en}}</ref>

== Etymology ==
During the period of the [[Beylik of Menteşe]]; the city became known as ''Marmaris'', a name derived from the Greek ''màrmaron'' ([[marble]]; [[Turkish language|Turkish]]: ''mermer''), in reference to the rich marble deposits in the region, and the prominent role of the city's port in the marble trade.

==History==
[[Image:Marmaris Castle.jpg|thumb|left|[[Marmaris Castle]]]]

=== Antiquity ===
It is not certain when Marmaris was founded but in the 6th century BC the site was known as ''Physkos'' ({{langx|grc|Φύσκος}} or {{langx|grc|Φοῦσκα|translit=Phouska|label=none}}) in [[Greek language|Greek]], also Latinised as ''Physcus''. It was in a part of [[Caria]] that belonged to [[Rhodes]] and contained a magnificent harbour and a grove sacred to [[Leto]].<ref>[[Strabo]], ''[[Geography (Strabo)|Geography]]'', xiv; ''[[Stadiasmus Maris Magni]]'' § 245; [[Ptolemy|Ptol.]], ''[[Geography (Ptolemy)|Geography]]'' 5.2.11.</ref><ref>{{Cite DGRG|title=Physcus}}</ref>

According to the historian [[Herodotus]], there had been a castle on the site since 3000 BC.{{cn|date=November 2023}} The area eventually came under the control of the [[Persian Empire]]. In 334 BC, [[Caria]] was invaded by [[Alexander the Great]] and Physkos Castle was besieged.{{cn|date=November 2023}} The town's 600 inhabitants realised that they had no chance against the invading army and burned their valuables in the castle before escaping to the hills. Aware of the strategic value of the castle, the invaders repaired the destroyed sections to house a few hundred soldiers before the main army returned home.{{cn|date=November 2023}}

=== Ottoman period ===

[[Image:48700_Karaca-Marmaris-Muğla,_Turkey_-_panoramio_(14).jpg|thumb|right|Karaca in Marmaris]]

In the later Middle Ages, Marmaris formed part of the [[Beylik of Menteşe]].{{cn|date=November 2023}} Then In the mid-fifteenth century, Sultan [[Mehmed II|Mehmed the Conqueror]] conquered and united the various tribes and kingdoms of [[Anatolia]] and the [[Balkans]], and acquired [[Fall of Constantinople|Constantinople]]. The [[Knights Hospitaller|Knights of St. John]], based in [[Rhodes]], had fought the [[Ottoman Empire]] for many years and managed to withstand the [[Siege of Rhodes (1480)|onslaughts of Mehmed II]] too.{{cn|date=November 2023}} When [[Suleiman the Magnificent]] set out to conquer [[Siege of Rhodes (1522)|Rhodes]], Marmaris served as a base for the [[Ottoman Navy|Ottoman navy]]; [[Marmaris Castle]] was rebuilt from scratch in 1522 to accommodate an [[Ottoman Army|Ottoman army]] garrison.{{cn|date=November 2023}}

In 1798, [[Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson|Admiral Nelson]] assembled his fleet in the harbour at Marmaris before setting sail for [[Egypt]] and the [[Battle of the Nile]] which put an end to [[Napoleon]]'s ambitions in the Mediterranean.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cornucopia Magazine: A Connoisseur's Guide to Marmaris & Bozburun Peninsula |url=https://www.cornucopia.net/guide/marmaris/ |access-date=2022-11-09 |website=www.cornucopia.net}}</ref>

In 1801, a British force of 120 ships under [[George Elphinstone, 1st Viscount Keith|Admiral Keith]] and 14,000 troops under [[Ralph Abercromby|General Abercromby]] anchored in the bay for eight weeks, using the time to train and resupply ready their mission to end the [[French campaign in Egypt and Syria]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Mackesy|first=Piers|year=1995|title=British Victory in Egypt, 1801: The End of Napoleon's Conquest|url={{Google books|rsj8RStBgjwC|page=16|plainurl=yes}}|page=16}}</ref>

=== Modern times ===
Throughout Ottoman rule, Marmaris retained its [[Greeks|Greek]] population up until the end of [[World War I]]. In the aftermath of the 1919–1922 [[Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922)|Greco-Turkish War]] and the subsequent [[Population exchange between Greece and Turkey|population exchange]], the Greek population of Marmaris left for [[Greece]] and the town was settled by Turkish migrants from the [[Balkans]]. The two [[1957 Fethiye earthquakes|Fethiye earthquakes]] of 1957 almost completely destroyed the city. Only the [[Marmaris Castle|castle]] and the historic buildings surrounding it were left undamaged.{{Cn|date=December 2023}}

Renovation work on the castle started in 1979. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture, it was converted into a museum with seven galleries, the largest of them used as an exhibition hall. The courtyard is full of seasonal flowers. Built at the same time as the castle, there is also a small [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] [[caravanserai]] built by Süleyman's mother [[Ayşe Hafsa Sultan]] in the bazaar.{{Cn|date=December 2023}}

There were many forest fires in the early 2020s.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Forest fire ravages 25 hectares in southwestern Turkey |url=https://bianet.org/haber/forest-fire-ravages-25-hectares-in-southwestern-turkey-280983 |access-date=2023-12-18 |website=bianet.org |language=en}}</ref>

== Tourism ==
Marmaris is now a major package-holiday destination popular in particular with British visitors. Although adjacent [[İçmeler]] is theoretically a separate resort, these days the two more or less run into each other.

Most visitors to Marmaris come for the beaches and watersports. There are also popular cruises that take in islands in the surrounding bay, including [[Sedir Island]] [[Turkish language|(Turkish]]: Sedir Adası), commonly known as Cleopatra's Island, which is famous for its soft, white - and now protected - sand. 
Summer visitors can also take day trips to the Greek islands of [[Symi]] and [[Rhodes]].
==Archaeology==

In 2018, archaeologists discovered the 2300 year-old pyramid-shaped tomb of the ancient Greek [[Boxer (boxing)|boxer]] [[Diagoras of Rhodes|Diagoras]] near the city of Marmaris.  The following words were inscribed on it in Greek: "I will be vigilant at the very top so as to ensure that no coward can come and destroy this grave,"<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://ahvalnews6.com/archaeology/turkish-locals-stunned-find-out-sacred-tomb-belongs-ancient-greek-boxer |title=Turkish locals stunned to find out sacred tomb belongs to ancient Greek boxer |access-date=2018-05-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180525062921/https://ahvalnews6.com/archaeology/turkish-locals-stunned-find-out-sacred-tomb-belongs-ancient-greek-boxer |archive-date=2018-05-25 }}</ref> The structure had been believed to be the grave of a saint and was visited by locals seeking answers to their prayers, but once it was realised that it was not a holy site, the mausoleum was looted.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://ahvalnews6.com/archaeology/turkish-locals-stunned-find-out-sacred-tomb-belongs-ancient-greek-boxer |title=Turkish locals stunned to find out sacred tomb belongs to ancient Greek boxer |access-date=2018-05-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180525062921/https://ahvalnews6.com/archaeology/turkish-locals-stunned-find-out-sacred-tomb-belongs-ancient-greek-boxer |archive-date=2018-05-25 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://eu.greekreporter.com/2018/05/21/turkey-shrine-turns-out-to-be-tomb-of-ancient-greek-boxer/|title=Turkey 'Shrine' Turns Out to be Tomb of Ancient Greek Boxer {{!}} Greek Reporter Europe|last=Smith|first=John|language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-02}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.trthaber.com/haber/turkiye/yillarca-turbe-sanildi-mozole-cikti-426813.html|title=Yıllarca türbe sanıldı; mozole çıktı|website=www.trthaber.com|access-date=2019-09-02}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://neoskosmos.com/en/115755/shrine-in-turkey-uncovered-as-tomb-of-ancient-greek-boxer/|title=Shrine in Turkey uncovered as tomb of ancient Greek boxer {{!}} Neos Kosmos|date=2018-05-22|website=English Edition|language=en|access-date=2019-09-02}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.turkishminute.com/2018/05/21/previous-holy-site-in-turkeys-marmaris-revealed-to-be-tomb-of-greek-boxer/|title=Previous holy site in Turkey's Marmaris revealed to be tomb of Greek boxer - Turkish Minute|last=TM|date=21 May 2018 |language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-02}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://greekcitytimes.com/2018/05/23/2300-year-old-shrine-in-turkey-turns-out-to-be-tomb-of-ancient-greek-boxer-diagoras/|title=2,300 year old shrine in Turkey turns out to be tomb of ancient Greek Boxer Diagoras|last=Team|first=G.

Worship took place around the main rock which is surrounded by stone altars in a semi-circle raised about 30&nbsp;cm from the ground. Offerings in the form of [[cremation]]s, [[glass bead]]s, [[terracotta]], and sculptures of Leto were placed on these elevated stones. The cave was also used during the [[Ancient Rome|Roman]] period. 

Nimara Cave was declared a protected area in 1999. It shelters [[trogloxene]] [[Butterfly|butterflies]], identical to those living in [[Fethiye]]'s [[Butterfly Valley, Fethiye|Butterfly Valley]] ({{langx|tr|Kelebekler Vadisi}}).<ref name="meteor.gov.tr" />

The Marmaris peninsula is the westernmost habitat for ''[[Tulipa armena]]'', which normally grows in [[Eastern Anatolia Region|Eastern Turkey]], [[Iran]], and [[Transcaucasia]] at much higher altitudes.<ref>Anna Pavord, The Tulip (London, Bloomsbury 1999) 289</ref> The plants may have been introduced during the Ottoman period.
