Holidays in Selimiye, Turkey
Selimiye, Turkey – a charming village, perfect for those who dream of being able to slow the pace of life right down.
Situated on the Marmaris peninsula, Selimiye is an idyllic traditional Turkish fishing village set on a wide bay with a mountain backdrop and a ruined fortress on a hill overlooking the azure sea. Fishermen mend their nets on the pebble beach as their colourful boats bob in the clear waters of the bay of Selimiye. Hotels are few and far between in this area and the Palmetto Resort is the only one in the village. There are a few seafront restaurants, renowned for their delicious fare, where the daily catch of fresh fish and seafood is served. The only sounds to be heard in Selimiye are those of the craftsmen going about their daily work at the village boatyard and the call to prayer, the haunting chant of the Muezzin, from the tiny whitewashed mosque.
The beautiful region around Selimiye is renowned for its rich harvest of almonds and fragrant herbs such as oregano and sage, as well as its famous, delicious pine honey. It is a rare pleasure to be in an area such as Selimiye where you are more likely to come across a herd of goats or a farmer riding a donkey, than a coach load of tourists!
For many people the joy of a holiday in Selimiye is simply being able to relax and soak up the atmosphere. However, there are a few options of things to do in and around Selimiye. You could simply hire a car and explore the surrounding area, or take a boattrip along the beautiful coastline. You will have the opportunity to have a swim in the heart of the Aegean Sea while the chef prepares a delicious barbecue.
Those who want to go a little further afield from Selimiye Palmetto Resort, can take a day trip to the Island of Rhodes, Greece, from Marmaris. We feature just one hotel in this charming village, the Palmetto Resort, Selimiye. Hotels such as this are rare indeed with its relaxed ambience and stunning setting.
