The castle is mentioned in the writings of the Greek historian Herodotus, who claims that it was built 3 thousand years before our era (according to alternative versions in the XI and VI centuries BC). The appearance of the structure remained unchanged until the VIII century. In the time of Suleiman the Magnificent, it was built anew – it is this version that has come down to our days.  Today there is a museum with exhibits from the ancient and medieval eras on the territory of the castle.

The cave is located on a Paradise island (or rather, a peninsula) near Marmaris, a 400–meter mountain trail leads to it.

From the point of view of geology, Nimara is a fairly young formation that continues to be actively formed.

There is a beautiful legend that the island of Sedir was presented as a gift to Cleopatra by the Roman commander Mark Anthony as a sign of his love. At the same time, a whole flotilla delivered sand to the island beaches from Egypt, since the queen did not like the local one.

Kyz-Kumu means "maiden's sand" in Turkish. The natural attraction is located in the village of Orhanie near Marmaris.

Ichmeler has long been considered as part of the Marmaris zone, but recently it has been considered an independent resort. The beaches of Icmeler are located in a bay among wooded slopes surrounded by picturesque gardens, through which the roads to the hotels are laid.
