Holidays in Hisaronu (marmaris)

An introduction to Hisaronu (marmaris)

If you're looking for a bolthole that's big on beauty and high on relaxation, try this little smidgen for size. Not to be confused with the neon-lit Hisaronu near Fethiye, this postcard-worthy pocket has got peace and quiet written all over it. The village looks out over the two coves of Hisaronu Bay and it's about as traditional as it gets. Wander through the narrow country lanes, swapping smiles with locals who'll give you an old-friend's welcome. There's a couple of mini-markets where you can stock up on essentials and a few good restaurants that won't require too many of your euros. But Hisaronu's trump card is its scenery. One for the nature-lovers, it's set up camp on a coast carved with rugged mountains, romantic coves and bays of the deepest blue. Lace up your walking boots, pack up a picnic and wander through a pine-peppered landscape, scoping out a dream spot for lunch in the sun. If that sounds too much like hard work, simply stock up on suncream and head for the wide sandy beach. In these parts, the hot sun's tempered by a refreshing breeze so you don't have to swelter when you sunbathe. Plus it means the water's not duckpond-still, which makes it an ever-popular choice with the windsurfing crowd. And if you do decide you're ready for a little more shopping action, bustling Marmaris is just a 30 minute drive away. Shops, bars, restaurants, waterparks – you name it, this place has got it. Indulge to your heart's content, safe in the knowledge your hushed holiday hideaway's ready to welcome you back when you're done.
