Rewriting the latest tourism trends for Marmaris

The Aegean resorts of Marmaris, Icmeler, Datca, Fethiye and Bodrum are not your typical destinations in Türkiye. Travellers who come to Marmaris, Icmeler, Datca, Fethiye and Bodrum don’t want to do the ‘all inclusive’ holiday, where you sit at the beach, by the pool and do nothing. People come here to explore the Aegean coast. It would be impossible for an all-inclusive holiday to succeed here or compete with other international destinations. The Aegean resorts have become a part of a broader shift in resort travel. Each resort offers a vibrant atmosphere where guests can unwind and socialize. As more travellers prioritise connection, authenticity and exploration, Marmaris, Icmeler, Datca, Fethiye and Bodrum are for those who are seeking for more experiences, more adventures, as well as an access to meaningful local experiences.

Bad news for those who love McDonald’s

If you love McDonald’s and are coming to Marmaris this is bad news. Big Mac, fries and a coke anyone? When it comes to fast food it’s McDonald’s that comes out for many of you.

Many tend to believe these closures are temporary. However, the bad news is that the location of the two closed McDonald’s in Marmaris have been removed from the map of the Turkish franchise of McDonald’s. It is not a secret that Anadolu Group Holding that has been operating the Turkish franchise of McDonald’s since 2005, which has over 250 branches across the country and employed 6,000 workers, sold all of its shares to Qatari Boheme Investment GmbH for $54.5 million.
