January 2012
Hello / Merhaba from Marmaris!
The off
season from November through March can be a rewarding time to see
Marmaris Turkey. It will not be beach weather, but temperatures are
mild. There will be very few other tourists and reduced prices.
The weather remains a mixture of sunny and rainy days.
The works of improvement continue in Marmaris affecting the walking and
the driving alike. The area where old shopping center Tansas used to be
is now being cleaned so that central part of Marmaris is closed to
traffic. |

|
|
The promenade from the statue of Ataturk in both directions is closed to
walking and will have a new pavement soon.
For all who need to cross the sea over to or from the island of Rhodes all scheduled
departures are published on
http://rhodes.marmarisinfo.com
and online bookings are now open on
https://www.blueguide.com

The foreign
residents in Marmaris Turkey may have already heard about the SGK
Compulsory health insurance scheme asking all foreigners with a
residency permit to report to the nearest SGK insurance office for
registration before the 31st January 2012.
If you fail to register before 31st January 2012 you are subject to an
886TL fine. |

According to
the British consulate announcement "The Turkish authorities have now
announced that the scheme became effective on 1/1/12. In the document
passed to us, it appears that once a non-Turkish resident completes one
year of residence in Turkey, they must apply to join the scheme. It
applies to all nationalities not covered by the health scheme of their
own country. British nationals who have lived in Turkey for one year
will receive a letter about joining the scheme and then have one month
to register." (an extract from the source
http://ukinturkey.fco.gov.uk/). You may inquire further details from
Marmaris British consulate

On your
holiday in Marmaris spoil yourself and replenish your energies at a Turkish bath.
Wander
through the traditional shopping streets where you can find goods
ranging from handicraft to contemporary design. As you stroll through
the historic centre of Marmaris, lose yourself for a while browsing in
the shops or relaxing in the downtown cafés. At night, walk down to the
the marina for dinner, Turkish desserts or ice cream. |
