Death has no power over this man’s life. Time to tell a remarkable story of Mehmet Övet, a corn stand owner who survived 7 deadly accidents, starting as young as a 7-year-old. These accidents include falling off high buildings, drowning, being hit by electricity, being a victim of gun shooting 15 gun shots were fired at him (!) and a motorbike crash when his motorbike was hit by a hotel’s service bus which was driving over the speed limit in Marmaris, the hotel’s service bus was driving at 110 km per hour when it hit Mehmet Övet’s motorbike… His story may seem incredible especially given the dramatic and lengthy stays in a coma in intensive care.When you have a history of major accidents in a life you grow stronger and more positive about making the most of your life.

It is no secret that tourism is suffering all around the world. Tourism accounts for about 12% of Turkey’s GDP. However, this is not the first time the tourism in Turkey has been affected. It always recovered so quickly too. Turkey and Marmaris have its true friends who are simply in love with the country and the resort and we all want them back! The weekend is here and we were back to complete our work in the marina when we took this video. Just a small warning this video contains images of holiday on water. We know and understand this could be disturbing to those who will miss out a holiday this year… Life goes on and we hope all will be back to normal soon. Stay safe & tuned to marmarisinfo.com

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. Yet this time the reaction of the community was somewhat different. Before many would go out and sleep in their gardens or cars. This time nobody seemed to be out, let alone sleeping out of their homes. Perhaps the latest events on a global scale have made us stronger. We have developed a high resistance to stress which is good in these difficult times. This morning the Mayor of Marmaris Mr. Mehmet OKTAY has announced an Earthquake Relief telephone number 0850 888 48 48 . Although there has been no damage in the area so far Click here for details >>

How are Marmaris hospitals and Emergency units handling the situation Dear Friends, For the last few weeks there are more talks about the second wave. Ankara was given the name of “Wuhan” city for the currect crisis with rapidly increased number of COVID-19 patients.On the daily news we listen to the Turkish authorities who keep telling the measures will be increased.Needless to say we stayed away from hospitals and healthcare places.All kinds of stories are told about how busy and overcrowded local hospitals and emergency units are in our small resort of Marmaris.Since there is no way to be able to see statistics on how busy hospitals are in Marmaris we have decided to take the step and made two random visits to one of the major hospitals in Marmaris which claims to have sufficient critical supplies and the capacity to treat non-COVID patients.First visit was in the evening when Click here for details >>
