Quick question re: walk to Marmaris

[Beau]

We're planning on doing the walk to Marmaris but speaking with a few people at work today they were saying it's a LONG walk.

Me and Hubby don't mind but don't know if my Mom will manage if it's too long.

So my question is IF she conks out and it's too much for her can we cut through the bars onto a main road and pick up a Dolmus or would we have to continue to Marmaris for the dolmus (or water taxi as we plan to do that back) or walk back to Icmeler ??

2 nights and we'll be there - yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!

Never done the wlk myself but I know there a few bars/cafes on the way so you can stop for a drink and a rest before carrying on to Marmaris!!

Hiya,
There are plenty of places you can stop off, get a cab or hail a Dolmus. I've done this plenty of times when I've had young children with me.

There are lots of benches to sit on enroute.Take a bottle of water to drink inbetween watering holes.

Thanks for your replies - so there is access to the road from the walk ??

Hi its a lovely walk to Marmaris just one straight road you cant get lost its 4 miles then you can get the taxi boat back which is lovely or of course the Dolmus.

There are plenty of places to stop and get a drink ...enjoy it

OMG 4 miles !!!!

I think we'll make a day of it sampling lots of Efes along the way - it's only right to see if they're all as nice as the last bars

You could also stop off at the ice rink, en route....right on the promenade... for a breather.

We are also planning to do the walk this year.

I think there are going to be a lot of drunken hikers around this year.

we did the walk last week it took just over an hour, plenty of shady parts which made the walk more pleasant in 35 degrees temparature

[Colette]

Do you all walk from Icmeler right down to Marmaris marina?

[dimrie]

My plan for Sept?Oct is to get dolmus to marina and walk back to Icmeler for a change.

Diane and Norman

[red wine]

yes Colette we do make sure you have plenty of water with you for the middle bit as not many shops or cafes only hotels with sercurity but when you get to the start of Marmaris the bars come thick and fast

[Sue]

we walked as far as Migros which took and hour and stopped for somehting to eat and then it took about half an hour to the castle

[Colette]

As long as it's not 45 degrees again this year, I am going to walk this, I will tell the rents I will see them in marmaris as it might be a bit too long for them to walk

Sue thanks for the tip about the water

[jeffg]

Dimrie, we intend to take water taxi to marina and walk back we walked from icmeler to marmaris last year its a beautiful walk
