Overview
The British Honorary Consulate in Marmaris provides local consular support in one of Turkey's most established British package holiday destinations. Marmaris, set in a sheltered bay on the southwestern coast where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, has been a favourite with British holidaymakers for decades — the town's long beach promenade, yacht marina, bustling bazaar, and vibrant nightlife draw hundreds of thousands of British visitors annually. İçmeler, a quieter resort neighbour, and the Datça peninsula add variety. The honorary consulate operates without a public office but provides essential support for British nationals in emergencies.

Special Notes
Marmaris is served by Dalaman Airport, which receives direct UK flights throughout the holiday season.

Boat trips through the bays around Marmaris and along the coast to Dalyan (home of the Lycian rock tombs and Iztuzu turtle beach) are among the most popular excursions.
