Hungry and Thirsty
European cuisine is well-represented in Marmaris and the surrounding area, but we definitely suggest you try Turkish home-cooking; some infused with Mediterranean flavours, herbs, and luxuriant olive oil, and some that are much spicier and hail from Anatolian traditions. Seafood is also a must, and when in Turkey, do as the locals do—go for some mezes (small starters similar to Spanish tapas) and the national alcoholic beverage, raki.
