What to see

The castle sits on the hill of the old town, surrounded by narrow lanes; inside, the museum shows finds from the region, and the walls look across the marina and the bay.

Allow 45 minutes; combine with a walk through the old quarter (Kaleiçi) around it.

Mornings are cooler for the climb up through the lanes.

Getting there

In the old quarter above the harbour, a short walk from the centre of Marmaris.
