Tours to Marmaris from Chisinau — Last-Minute Deals
Marmaris, a resort town in south-western Turkey, sits where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean. Pine-covered mountains ring a deep bay, hundreds of yachts fill the marina, and the water by the shore is crystal clear. A charter from Chisinau reaches Dalaman Airport in about two hours, and the hotel is roughly another 90 minutes away.
The tour operator bundles the flight, airport meet-and-greet, transfer, a hotel with the meals you prefer and travel insurance into the package price; you only need to make your own way to Chisinau. Turkey is visa-free for Ukrainians. Availability from every operator for your dates is in the tour search, and our manager can pick a hotel that suits you.
Why Travellers Choose Marmaris
- Mountains right by the sea. Pine slopes run straight down to the water, and the scenery looks nothing like the flat coastline around Antalya.
- Boat trips. Yachts and excursion boats leave the marina every day for Paradise Island, the Aquarium and the Phosphorescent Cave, and dive centres take guests to underwater rocks and grottoes.
- Nightlife with quiet nearby. The centre has Bar Street, the Grand Bazaar and the promenade, while calm İçmeler, popular with families, is just 8 km away.
- Excursions. The Dalyan river delta with Iztuzu turtle beach, mud baths and Lycian rock tombs, a ferry to the Greek island of Rhodes (about an hour each way), and full-day trips to Pamukkale and Ephesus.
Flight and Transfer
In season, charters fly from Chisinau to Dalaman Airport (DLM) in about two hours; the flight programme usually runs from May to early October. The drive to Marmaris takes about 90 minutes, slightly longer to İçmeler and Turunç. Less often, tours land in Bodrum, which stretches the transfer to 2.5–3 hours, so look at which airport is listed in the tour details.
Getting to Chisinau, airport parking and check-in timing are described on our Turkey from Chisinau page.
Where to Stay
- Centre and marina. The promenade, castle, Grand Bazaar and Bar Street, for those who like evening walks.
- Uzunyalı and Siteler. A long seafront walkway and plenty of budget hotels within walking distance of the centre.
- İçmeler. A quiet resort village 8 km from the centre with family hotels, a well-kept beach and a gentle entry into the water.
- Turunç and the Bozburun Peninsula. Secluded coves for those after peace and nature, plus the Kızkumu sandbar, where you can walk far out into the sea through the shallows.
The beaches are coarse sand mixed with fine pebbles, and the water is clean even by the town promenade.
