Last night Marmaris felt the aftershock of the earthquake out at sea just South of Marmaris, on the line between Marmaris and the island of Rhodes in Greece. This morning we woke up to another earthquake at around 7AM. Unfortunately earthquakes are part of life in this part of the Mediterranean and the Aegean.
