If you ask the preppiest and instinctively fancy part of Marmaris, the answer will be Selimiye for sure.

The sea is crystal clear, the weather is so nice and nature is beautiful. This is how Aegean bays are very special in Turkey and they are very well known all around the world. During summer Selimiye is one of those spectacular bay and it is a magnet for blue cruise lovers. The village is one of the great stopovers of blue cruise gulets that cruise in the Aegean Sea. Selimiye has so many different shades of green to fall in love with. The water can only be described as crystal clear.

We need to go back hundreds of years to find out about Selimiye’s history. In that time town was used to call as Hydas. Then, they started to call Losta. At some point, the name had been returned as “Kızılköy” by reason of sunset’s color. Because Kızıl means red in Turkish.
