Where to Go When Renting a Boat in Marmaris?

Marmaris is that magical geography where the concept of "Blue Cruise" was born in Turkish maritime history, where the Aegean and the Mediterranean mix. This is not just a holiday resort, but a huge natural harbor where pine forests stretch out to the sea most generously.

In this Marmaris boat rental route, where we have bid farewell to thousands of our guests via Limancepte.com, unlike other regions, what will welcome you is the "Reign of Green". Unlike the rocky structure of Kaş or the white architecture of Bodrum, when you enter the sea in Marmaris and look up, you only see centuries-old pine trees.

Here are 5 strategic stops you must anchor at on this green route:

1. Paradise Island and Phosphorous Cave

When you untie the ropes from Marmaris marina and turn around the peninsula, the first stop you encounter is Paradise Island (Cennet Adası). The most photogenic point of the route is the Phosphorous Cave here. When your boat enters the entrance of the cave, you see the color of the water turn from turquoise to a phosphorescent green. While making a wish and throwing coins is a ritual, the real magic is watching the light refractions inside the cave.

2. Kumlubuk and Amos Bay: History and Gastronomy

Kumlubuk, which you will reach after passing Turunc, is one of the widest bays of Marmaris. However, our favorite is Amos Bay right next to it. This is not just a swimming break, but an archaeological discovery point with the ruins of the Amos Ancient City on the hill. Also, Kumlubuk hosts the best restaurants in the region. If you are planning a gourmet boat tour, the luxury pier restaurants here are the right address for lunch.

3. Green Sea Bay (Yesil Deniz): True to Its Name

Here is the answer to the question of why the color of the water is different in Marmaris. Since the shadow and reflection of the pine trees on the shore fall directly on the sea, the water takes on an emerald green color here. It is very sheltered against the wind. While swimming here, you have beehives, pine trees, and absolute silence around you. It is the right coordinate for those who want to escape from the noisy bar street of Marmaris and rehabilitate.

4. Ciftlik Bay: Rare Coarse Sand

Marmaris bays are generally pebbly or rocky; however, Ciftlik Bay breaks this rule and is famous for its coarse sand. Since it faces the open sea, its water is always vigorous and clean. You can approach the beach very closely with your private boat and enjoy the beach in shallow waters.

5. Gebekse Bay: Secret of Blue Cruisers

Accessible only by sea and usually where luxury gulets anchor, Gebekse is the final star of the route. The most prominent feature of the bay is the church ruins on its shore, believed to be from the Byzantine period. The phrase "swimming in history" comes to life here. If you like snorkeling, the vitality under the water can keep you busy for hours.
