Planning notes for Marmaris
Marmaris is a coastal city in southwestern Turkey, situated at the junction of the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. Historical records, including the writings of Herodotus, indicate that the first city walls in the area, then known as Physkos, were established around 3000 BC. The current Marmaris Castle was reconstructed in 1522 by Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to serve as a military base for the expedition to Rhodes. This structure currently houses the Marmaris Museum.
