By their type, they are closer to European climates. The temperature of this region is always 5-7 ⁰ C cooler than in Antalya. The Aegean Sea is not turquoise, like the Mediterranean, but a bright blue shade. In addition to the sea, the mountains contribute to the formation of a unique microclimate.

Aesthetics of the coast

Sun Bay Hotel 4 * is located 200 meters from the coast of the Gulf of Marmaris, one of the largest bays in the world. Here it is picturesque also thanks to yachts, rushing under colorful sails. They are always a lot in Marmaris, the world's largest yacht center after all. Here it is - expanse: an island at the entrance to the bay like a breakwater protects the water area from the excessive excitement of the sea surface. Why do we talk about this? Yes, because the windows of half the rooms of the hotel Sun Bay Hotel 4 * overlooking the sea and mountains! Agree that this kind of windows is expensive. Such therapy is aesthetics.

From the windows of the other half of the rooms you can see the territory of the hotel, but it is so perfectly groomed (we will tell about it later) that some holiday-makers order rooms with its kind from year to year.

Perhaps, that's why this hotel complex was chosen by the stiff British. Among the guests there are more than 70% of them.

Building and territory

The territory is relatively small - 4.1 thousand m ² . The dominant position on it belongs to the central basin (the facade of the Sun Bay Hotel 4 * is directly aimed at it), which is spacious enough for playing polo and swimming. A rest area is arranged around it: stylish chaise lounges with umbrellas are arranged. There is a bar, selling drinks and pizza, shawarma, nuggets, fries, burgers. Some fans of a quiet lounge and reading rest at the pools liked it so much that they simply did not reach the sea, gaining extra pounds during the holiday ...

Here, to the pool, there is a terrace, where the open part of the restaurant is located. The territory around this public area is decorated with professional landscape design: low, but lush palm trees on neat English lawns adjoin to ornamental shrub plants, which are geometrically shaped (a separate respect is to the SunBay Hotel gardener, he knows the point in his business). There is a real aesthetic that helps to relax and meditate.

In the evenings, the territory of the hotel is cleaned, cleaned, vacuumed.

Agree, it's just stupid for the guest of the Sunbay Hotel 4 * (Marmaris) to deprive himself of the pleasure of passing these two hundred meters to deprive himself of aesthetic pleasure - the opportunity to see one of the most picturesque landscapes of the Mediterranean.

Some holidaymakers prefer perfect sandy beaches with large gold or white sand, perfectly level, stretching endless strip with a slight inclination to the water.

Separate Respect hammam hotel Sun Bay 4 * (Marmaris). We write about this because some hotels introduce into their infrastructure a Turkish bath "for a tick", for a fad in the list of their services. Fortunately, the hotel complex described by us adheres to other principles: not to seem, but to be. Hamam here - above all praise! Everything in it is balanced: temperature regime, humidity, selection (at the request of customers) of aromatic substances. Recommended, very useful for cleansing the skin and caring for it.

Also professional and a gym from the Sun Bay Hotel. The equipment was purchased high-quality, functional. Everything is selected for different types of athletic training.

Food

Holidaymakers in this hotel complex often post on the Internet positive feedback about the organization of meals. The restaurant operates dynamically and systematically. You can eat for four days, never having tried twice consumed dishes. And everything is cooked qualitatively and tasty. And why? In Turkey - a special approach to nutrition. Residents of the Country of the Star and the Crescent do not eat "between business", in vanity. Therefore, chicken, turkey, fish, and shrimp are prepared in a variety of ways, each time pleasantly surprising with unexpected nuances of taste, accentuated by selected spices. By the way, it is believed that Turkish cuisine is among the three most popular in the world. The main meat dishes in Sun Bay 4 * are prepared from chicken, turkey, liver.

From fruit to the resting guests are offered watermelons, melons, grapes, strawberries, cherries, baby bananas, grapefruits.

Leisure

For bathers will be interesting water attractions on specific beach inflatable devices such as "banana" and "cheesecake". We recommend at the very beginning of your stay at the boarding house to choose for yourself an excursion program for acquaintance with the bay of Marmaris.

Dynamic and interesting active recreation are water skiing and parasailing (flying on a special parachute after the boat towing it). Such an active holiday provides beach owners local entrepreneurs who have special licenses.

Excursions

The situation with excursions in the considered hotel complex is typical for hotels of the Country of the Star and the Crescent. Of course, you can, without exerting too much effort, purchase tours from your guides. Moreover, they colorfully offer you them in an assortment. However, at the same time you overpay twice. Guides from the "Sanbey" (Marmaris) is not to blame. This is the policy of travel agencies, where they work.

Therefore, it is much more reasonable to purchase permits in specialized excursion bureaus, choosing the best from them - according to reviews.

Pamukkale

This amazing natural phenomenon is visible to tourists from afar. It's hard not to notice beforehand from the bus a mother-of-pearl rock complex made of travertine, adorned with centuries-old salt deposits of mineral thermal springs. Blowing from under the earth, healing geysers treated still ancient Romans. The cascade of small and large pools with water level differences is very picturesque. The most famous reservoir of Pamukkale is the Cleopatra basin, heated by a geyser. There tourists are allowed to swim.

Cappadocia

The unique creation of nature is also the cliffs of Cappadocia, spent for thousands and thousands of years from the rocks to the monotonous harmonious inclined mushroom shape with conical "caps". However, in addition to natural creations, the land of Cappadocia is decorated with creations of human hands. Local residents are practically connected with nature, literally "leaving for the rocks". It is also about the underground, carved in the rocks of the churches of the early Christians, and about the dwellings - apartments, also equipped in the rocks.

Grotto of Dalmataş

Unforgettable for tourists can be an excursion to one of the most majestic and famous in the world of grottoes. He is called Dalmatash. It was discovered by chance. The mining company produced industrial explosions. Stored dynamite opened the underground passage leading to the rocky cavity.

However, the speleologists who came to the challenge found that the majestic stalactite and stalagmite cave below the sea level served as a shelter at various times. At first they were hiding from the persecution of the sultans of the corsair.

During World War II, a special German reconnaissance unit was hiding here.

Now the grotto is a popular tourist attraction. Magnificent stalactites and stalagmites are specially highlighted. Classical music always sounds. Here the temperature is +22 ⁰ C and humidity is 98% throughout the year. Such microclimate also has a therapeutic effect. Therefore, some tourists visit this cave not only for aesthetic impression, but also with health benefits.

Ich-Calais

The fortress of power, which no longer exists, the country that served as the cradle of the Orthodox faith. Byzantines knew how to build defense installations.

The fortress is huge, to inspect it, tourists will need a whole day.

Discovery Park

Family tourists invariably travel with children to a place that immerses their spectators in a prehistoric atmosphere, when, shaking the earth's surface, huge monsters-dinosaurs-traveled along it.

Created by designers and placed in the "Discovery Park" copies of these giants reflect with anatomical precision their ancient prototypes. Special automation, built into their layouts, responds to the approach of tourists and makes these huge mechanical toys move and make sounds. It's really impressive. In addition, the territory of the park has a large terrarium, an aquarium with exotic fish.

Eastern market
