Averages for Marmaris in December

December is the coolest month of the year in Marmaris and can be fairly wet.

Daytime temperatures reach no higher than 15°C (59°F) and can fall to as low as 7°C (45°F) in the evenings.

There is a very high chance of rain showers so it would be advisable to bring a waterproof mac and umbrella with you.

The cool temperatures and likelihood of rain mean that the beach would be off limits at this time of year but there are still many ways to explore this area.

Boat tours still operate around the bay, and this is a perfect way to get a different view of the stunning scenery. Stops on the tours include Paradise Island and Phosphorus Cave.

Marmaris Castle is located on a site where a fortification has stood since 3000BC. Housed within is the museum that tells you more about the history of the area, from ancient times until the present day.

The Historic City is also worth a visit as the narrow lanes contain a wealth of shops, bars and cafes to be discovered.

And Marmaris National Park is popular at this time of year due to the milder temperatures making it ideal for hiking and cycling. Jeep safaris are also an excellent way to explore the array of wildlife on display.

The ancient cities of Physkos and Amos are also to be found within the park, and you can explore many of the ruins which include the remains of a large amphitheatre.

Accommodation wise, there are less hotels open at this time of year but there are some very good deals to be found. Whether it is budget self catering accommodation or a swanky five star resort in the marina, there is definitely something for everybody!
