Statue of Ataturk Statue of Ataturk Review

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk(1881 - 1938), the founder of the Turkish Republic and its first President.
As President for 15 years, until his death in 1938, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk introduced a broad range of swift and sweeping reforms - in the political, social, legal, economic, and cultural spheres - virtually unparalleled in any other country.
His achievements in Turkey are an enduring monument to Atatürk.

the centre of Marmaris

Marmaris with it's harbour, the boulevard with lots of restaurants.
The little shops, the nice people. In one word Super!!

Marmaris lies at the south-west side of the Anatolische coast, there where the Egeische- and the Mediterranean sea cross each other.
Marmaris has 15.000 inhabitants, 9000 are living in the centre.Marmaris is surround in the north by the mountain Balan (993 m), peninsula Bozburun in the west and peninsula Resadiye at the east.
From origin Marmaris is a Greek word meaning shinning, sparkling.
I think that is what Marmaris is....sparkling!
