Marmaris Things to do!
Fish Restaurants
In Marmaris you'll find some very good fish restaurants. The general idea is that you start with hot or cold Meze (starters) and then move on to a plate of fish. Not cheap, especially compared to the street price of fish, but usually pretty good.
you pay for what you get as they say, however as it has been already mentioned in Turkey you receive excellent service along with quality and reasonable prices.
Food And Drink
Food in Marmaris is either extremely good or disappointing. The good part is the very fresh organic produced locally. Fruit and vegetables are extremely cheap and if you are on a self-catering holiday, you will have no problem here.
There are lots of small grocery shops and two large supermarkets. As for eating out, the worst thing to do is to try and eat as you would at home. While many small restaurants and cafes will try to cater to European palates the results are usually uninspired. There are, of course, exceptions to this restaurants.
Talking about trends, eating 'International Cuisine' means paying too much for something that may look right but probably does not taste the way you thought it would.If you do get for a holiday in Turkey, bear in mind that you must be eating Turkish food. Turkey has one of the world's 3 great cuisines. This is probably true but it's unlikely that you'll get to sample much of it for yourself. The great dishes of Ottoman tradition tend to rely on a house full of women at home all day with nothing to do but prepare intricate and subtle dishes.
You'll probably only sample Turkish cuisine at this level if you're prepared to pay for it, or, if you're invited into peoples homes. What you will find however is enough variety to keep you interested for a couple of weeks. Turkey has some great street food and if you find a good restaurant then you will enjoy the freshest of ingredients prepared with care.
A quick run down of the forms of eating available might be helpful:
