Where the blue meets the green

You can dive into the clear blue sea on a scuba diving tour. 18 Sterling includes hotel transfers, diving lessons, lunch and insurance. The boat leaves Marmaris harbour in the morning and you’re welcome to dive or sit on the boat and enjoy the ride. Another way to see the colourful, exotic fish is from the semi submarine, a boat with windows in the bottom. For an adrenaline rush there’s a rafting tour or a day at the water park from 10 Sterling.
