Marmaris Castle and Archeology Museum

Wonderful Castle at the top of Marmaris old town. Well maintained and worth €6 entry. Great explanations attached to each exhibit including QR codes to take you to more detailed information. Amazing views across Marmaris and the bay, but cover up, there’s little shade. Wandering up the little streets to the castle was a lovely relief from the bazaar and energetic shop keepers. Take your time, get an iced coffee on the way up, don’t miss out on a hidden gem.

Visited Marmaris Castle. The view from on top of the castle were absolutely amazing, you could see all the way across Marmaris and out to sea. It also gave great views of the harbour and the boats coming in and out. There was a 6 euro entry fee, but it was worth it. The castle its self isn't very big but has a lot of information about it's history, with some good artifacts to look at. It's isn't buggy friendly but the staff were really helpful and let us leave our buggy at the main office while we walked around. There are quite a lot of steps to gain access to the different parts of the castle which might be difficult for some people.

In Marmaris for a day trip and stopped by to visit the old castle in old town of Marmaris. It is a good mix between info and adventure. Beautiful view of Marmaris and the harbour! Takes maybe 40-60min for a visit. Make sure to also stop at the near by panorama bars.

We visited Marmaris Castle Museum on Sunday night and loved the new concept they’ve developed — The Night Museum. Since Marmaris can be extremely hot, visiting in the evening lets you explore comfortably, avoid the midday sun, and even enjoy the sunset from the castle walls. The museum features both open-air and indoor rooms, giving you a nice glimpse into the local history. It’s not a large museum, but it’s enough to understand the area’s ancient background. Our main reason for visiting was to see the newly discovered statue “Leyla” — a magnificent piece recently found by a local fisherman. The only downside was, unfortunately, the other visitors. Many seemed obsessed with taking photos from the castle walls, making it hard to find a quiet spot to simply enjoy the view. The walls had clear warnings not to sit or climb on them, yet many tourists ignored this for the sake of a photo. Please be respectful of the site and its history.

Nice small castle, well looked after and has good views over the harbour. Honestly found the surrounding area (old town) more beautiful.

Well cured grounds and landscaping. A small site to visit, with only a couple of rooms open to view artifacts inside. You can likely view the entire site in 30 minutes if you're not with kids. With toddlers add an extra 30 minutes.

The entrance is around 6€ per person. It is very nice for people who like history and for those willing to see marmaris view from above. Good experience and you can take good photos.

This is perfect stop to drink in the history of Marmaris. Went in the morning during the week and bet the rush. The air conditioned exhibition rooms were a welcomed relief from the heat and extremely informative.
