If you ask the preppiest and instinctively fancy part of Marmaris, the answer will be Selimiye for sure. In the last couple of years, people discovered the beauty of Selimiye and the town became one of the most popular places around the region.

This lovely fishing village had become part of the bucket list for blue voyagers during the summertime. Since it preserves her natural beauty it is not a big surprise to see plenty of posts about Selimiye on social media. Selimiye is a great resource for bloggers and Instagram influencers.

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. The area is so ready to chill you out, sometimes you feel like if time has stopped.

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.

The archaic era had been left some touch up for Selimiye. Besides that, there are three old castle ruins in Selimiye. One is located at the top point of the village, the other is in Kızılköy region and the last one is located on Sarıkaya hill. Those are the places of attraction for history lovers.

Please keep in mind if you are a party person, enjoying big crowds, fancy clubs and so on then Selimiye is not for you.  It will be love at first sight fort he one who chases a relaxing holiday and real retreatment for their soul. Picture yourself in Selimiye while having long relaxing sun-baths, go for swimming for hours.
