Marmaris that is located on south western of Turkiye is one of the famous holiday resorts of the world. Also Marmaris is famous for delicious pine honey.
Pine forests are the natural system that covers up whole area. The bees fly on those forests and collect pine gems. Then they produce world famous pine honey. Unfortunately the forest area decreased because of a big forest fire this summer. But it doesn’t mean that everything finished. If the recovery works can be done fast, the pine honey produce will increase again.

There is a great geopark in the Aegean region of Turkiye. It is named as Gökbel Valley. While travelling through Southern Anatolia, it will be on your route. As it is located on the border of Aydın and Muğla provinces of Turkiye, a visitior probably sees this geopark while going for holiday. It is famous for the oldest and youngest rock forms of Anatolia. Any person can see the difference if it is looked at the rocks carefully. It is thought that the youngest rock form is around 10 million years old and the oldest rock form is around 1 billion years old.
Although we have a geological treasure in Turkiye, we don’t have detailed information on this geopark. It should have done more.

I have been to Marmaris for four day vacation. It was the beginning of October. Istanbul was colder and cloudy but Marmaris was around 32 celsius. The weather was hot but windy. We have booked at the Hotel Aqua (5 star hotel). It is an all- inclusive hotel. It took around 8 hours and 30 minutes to reach there by car.
We had spent great four days. Although the weather was windy, we could be able to swim in the pool and the beach. The staff was great. They helped us in every occasion. Also the location of the hotel is suitable to have a walk on the coast line. The food and beverage service is great even in October. The rooms are very comfortable and useful. So we have never got bored. The customer profile was mostly from UK and Europe. This holiday became a good opportunity to refresh. That’s why I would like to thank all Hotel Aqua family.
Marmaris is one of the famous holiday resorts of Turkiye. Also the climate can be hot but wind is always blowing there. The beaches are very nice and also the panorama of the Içmeler Bay is worthseeing.
