Southern Turkey: The Beautiful Coastal City of Marmaris

- Our stay in Marmaris did not start on the best foot, having issues with our Airbnb on the first day. The first 8 or so minutes of this video are just a rant on what went wrong (more for our memories than anyone else's), so feel free to skip to minute 8:15 for Marmaris content.
Marmaris was certainly one of our favorite cities in Turkey. There was so much to do, and the kids had a great time. It is also the city where we realized that our kids would be getting a lot of attention (see video for details).
The city is so beautiful. Just walking along the water or through the streets of the city center was wonderful. They even have a large playground, a nice shopping bazaar, and their own beach (although it was pretty dirty). The city had so much to offer, and we only wish we had more time.
The marina was huge, and they even had a pretty nice shopping center there. Just past the marina we found the Burunucu park, which had so much to do and with such a small entry fee. There was a large playground, kids rides, picnic tables, food and drink, its own beach with free sunbeds, and even an adventure park with trampolines, a zip line, climbing wall and adventure track. We spent an entire day here and Isla was beyond happy running around playing and swimming.
Of course, her favorite thing and probably our too, was the dancing fountain. Luckily, our Airbnb was just a few minutes' walk from the dancing fountain and little Isla couldn't wait to go see the show every night.
Marmaris is also a great jumping off point to visit some of the Greek islands, having many ferry lines that can get you there in 1-2 hours (make sure to check out next week's video!).
As always, make sure to like, comment and subscribe if you have been inspired to visit Marmaris and this beautiful country of Turkey. We still have much to see and do here in Turkey so stay tuned.

In the 15 years ive been going to Marmaris with my 4 daughters no men have ever done that. Ive never seen that with other children and I dont believe its a customary thing
It certainly was strange for us to experience being from America where this does not happen. Similar instances happened to us throughout our 3 months in Turkey in different cities as well. While this particular situation may not be customary, the kindness and hospitality in Turkey certainly is 😊
We always had strangers interacting with our kids, playing with them, offering food, so to us it seemed customary. Everyone has their own experience of course.
YOU ARE TOO TENSE. You misunderstood everything
This is not America, we communicate by touching each other
You thought of Turkey as an unsafe life in your country
We kiss, smell and love children. Even if we don't have our own children. There may be many perverts in America, but everyone loves children here
You obviously did not read what we wrote! We came to realize that this is normal in Turkey and embraced it. We have never thought of Turkey as an unsafe country or we would never have gone there. Coming from America our first instinct is to be fearful and uncomfortable of things that are not common in our home country. We truly love Turkey and the people but if you grew up in America you would understandably be questionable at first. Thanks for watching!
Erm, did the guy in the blue tshirt have a gun ?
Oh my gosh, I didn’t notice that before! When the other guy lifts his shirt I can see something but I can’t say for sure what it is. I hope not. That’s definitely scary 😮
@@gabbettfamilytravels hopfully they were undercover police or somthing 😐
These men were police or soldiers
I understood from their haircuts and weapons that they were soldiers or plainclothes police.
You are very nervous. This is not America. Everyone loves, caresses, kisses and plays with children.
We do not see everyone as a pervert.Our religion commands us to love children because they are sinless and pure like angels
the beauty in them comes from God and we admire it.
this has nothing to do with sex.
Thanks for your reply. This was the first time we had this encounter and over our time of 3 months in Turkey we had many more encounters like this. We came to realize that this is normal and that the people of Turkey are some of the kindest we have ever met.
