And the locals are out to rip you off at every turn, never assume that an ‘all inclusive day trip’ won’t cost you at least double the initial price in food/water pistols/etc. And the police are corrupt, they wouldn’t give a crime number for a non-crime (lost property) but were happy enough to ask for 150euros round the back door to expidite gettign one, and they randomly stop the tourist coaches/jeeps so make sure you have passport/visa* and your seatbelt on. and keep you hands in your pockets and don’t make eye contact or conversation with anyone in the fakes market.
*they don’t give change at the imigration desk, if 2 of you go through and the first hands over 40euro then the other 20 magicaly disapeers.
Damn, in all the years we’ve been going to Turkey, I’ve never encountered any of the above. Perhaps you were just lucky? 🙄
Not done any riding there but that coast is very spectacular (read steep) and I’m sure there would be some cracking riding.
As for Marmaris, the best things about it imo are the road out or watching it disappear whilst sitting on a gulet drinking Efes.
