If you are considering making a trip to a nice and intimate holiday resort, then you should really consider Icmeler. The fact that this is a resort that has not gotten really big yet means that one can expect a nice cozy stay at the resort. The town is surrounded by pine forests on three sides, and they are really a blessing for those who love taking nature hikes. For sure, the walks would be a welcome change for any urban dweller who happens to visit Icmeler.

In addition, as the town continues to grow as a tourist spot, there is increasing development in the number of water related activities that tourists can participate in. Visitors can expect to try out water sports like scuba diving, water skiing, wind surfing, and more. Water sports, being immensely popular activities among tourists, will certain attract a more energetic and younger crowd.

So to cater to the growing needs of the younger tourists, other forms of entertainment such as discos, night clubs and bars have sprung up. While most operate till midnight, there are two night clubs with no entrance fees required that operate way beyond midnight - until four in the morning that is. So the young and energetic certainly have enough activities to keep them busy through the day and the night.

For the more matured crowd, they may choose to stick with more peaceful activities such as having nice evening meals at one of the restaurants in the resort, followed by a short walk at the beach before turning in for the day. This is the perfect place for anyone who seeks peace and doesn't want to be disturbed much.

Essentials can be easily acquired at the central shopping mall. Of course, since its a tourist spot, there are souvenirs widely available for those who want to buy some momentos. But for those who love to negotiate, they can be patient and wait till Wednesdays, as Wednesday is the day when the local market opens. The prices can certainly be haggled upon, making the buy experience a more entertaining and enjoyable one. But for those who are hardcore shoppers, they may want to take a short dolmus taxi ride into nearby Marmaris, where they can shop to their heart's content.

So although Icmeler may not be well known for being a particularly large holiday resort, it has almost everything that a great holiday resort should have - a magnificent beach with lots of water sports activities, cozy accommodation, evening or night activities such as bars and nightclubs, and more uniquely, natural attractions like the pine forests.

It is therefore easy to get to know this resort really well in a very short time, and that is probably why tourists who have been there once often fall in love with it and revisit the small town year after year.
