Marmaric City Centre Things to Do
Author: DirectRooms1 | Posted: 10.01.2012Eating Out
Eating out is an activity itself in Marmaris. There are many fine restaurants to choose from, often serving delicious local style food. During the day, there are plenty of cafés to explore. A great place to start is the Long Beach promenade, which is a popular eating and walking spot in Marmaris. As well as taking in the sun, sea and sand, plus numerous water sports, tourists will find that the bars, cafés and restaurants along the promenade serve a variety of fresh foods to suit every taste.
Turkish cuisine features many dishes that tourists may be familiar with from Turkish style restaurants in their home country, but there are many dishes that are less popularised outside of Turkey, while still being delicious and well worth trying. Vegetable dishes including aubergine, as well as a range of sweet products, are included among these. Meze dishes, which are small 'starter' style servings of traditional foods such as humous and other delicacies, are often served. Kebabs and stews are other staples of Turkish food. Try the Netsel Marina area – the restaurants here are of a very high standard.
