Unlike Turkey's container hubs, Marmaris (UN/LOCODE TR MRM) on the Turquoise Coast in Muğla province earns its keep mainly from ferries and yachts rather than box cargo. Its natural deep-water harbour hosts two large marinas plus several smaller ones, and accommodates cruise ships and RoRo ferries alongside private yachts. The main commercial sea link is the roughly one-hour ferry route to Rhodes, Greece, run by operators such as Sea Dreams, Yeşil Marmaris Lines and Dodekanisos Seaways with up to 13 weekly sailings. Three quays handle general commercial boat traffic, but large or customs-liable shipments must move on separate cargo vessels rather than passenger ferries. Customs and immigration formalities are processed at the port's passenger terminal. For international container shipping, the port of Izmir is the nearest practical alternative on Turkey's Aegean coast.
