Background
Marmaris [36° 50' N 28° 16' E] is a major yacht harbor in SE Turkey within a landlocked bay. It is very busy and noisy. The town was attractive but it has been overrun by rowdy englishmen. Fortunately the old town retains some of its older charm. It is surrounded however by the worst of sprawl with eating establishments catering to british tastes proudly advertising their non-turkish specialties such as: roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, fish & chips, and english breakfasts while broadcasting ear splitting rap "music". The Turkey I have grown to love has been displaced here. Even the wonderful Turkish ice-cream, dandurma, has been replaced by the insipid international brands. During the tourist season the beach is wall to wall raw human flesh with a very strong smell of sun tanning cream.
