The simplest, cheapest and most popular way to go around is to take a so-called dolmus. You can also take a minibus or a large taxi. They depart when they are full and stop wherever you want. The dolmus often depart outside supermarkets and from central Marmaris. From the Otogar bus station, buses set off for other destinations in Turkey. It is a good idea to book a seat in advance. Many bus companies run services along the same routes. You can also take a taxi boat if you want to go to one of the nearby villages, like Icmeler.

Taxis are yellow and have taxi signs on the roof. They have taximeters with two different rates, so from midnight to 6am it will cost up to 50 percent more than during daytime. Taxi Caravanserai +90 252 417 49 05 Marmaris Taxi +90 252 412 13 26
