An unforgettable vacation: a beautiful city in Turkey with turtles and sunny temperatures of 28C

If you're tired of the gloomy January weather, it's time to plan a sunny escape to a stunning city like Marmaris in Dalaman, Turkey. This beautiful city is famous for its endless sunshine and cute turtles, and it's extremely cheap to get to.

Travel Republic offers discounts on airfare and hotel stays there, as well as in many other places around the world, including Spain and Mauritius. For example, you can book a week-long vacation at the three-star Sebnem Apartments through Travel Republic for just £197.50 per person. This was reported by essexlive.news.

This is a saving of £162 compared to booking on Jet2. You can find all available hotels on their website.

Besides tanning and enjoying the sun, there are many different things to do in this beautiful Turkish city. The beach area known as the "Turquoise Coast" is stunning in itself, with the main attraction being the beach in the city center. However, Icon Beach, which is just a 15-minute drive from the center of Marmaris, offers breathtaking views and is less crowded.

The two main attractions are the turtles and the mud baths. Trips such as the Dalyan River Cruise, Turtle Beach and Mud Baths will allow you to see it all for £26.09. You will be picked up and dropped off from the hotel and lunch is included. Mud baths will help relieve stress and calm your nerves.

Turtle Beach is a beautiful area that separates the sea and freshwater pools. You can even see huge Loggerhead turtles in the sea.

Elsewhere are the world-famous ancient tombs of the Kaunos kings in Dalian. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a stunning piece of architecture with tombs along the Dalyan River carved right into the rocks.

There are over 300 restaurants in Marmaris, so choosing a place to eat can be difficult. However, Marmaris Traveler has compiled a list of cool places to eat, including the best steak in Marmaris (Jimmy Martini Restaurant and Steakhouse) and the best seafood (Kalimera).
