MARMARIS
- ICMELER |
|
|
|
|
|
| Icmeler
is at the intersection point of the Mediterranean and
Aegean situated on the Southwestern point of Turkey.
Icmeler is a small town in the district of Marmaris.
Marmaris is one of the most important tourism centres of
Turkey and Icmeler is one of it's miracle bays. |
| Icmeler
is thought to be established by the west Anatolian
civilisation "Carians". We can only examine the
history of Icmeler with Marmaris and Mugla. After the
"Carians" in 3400 B.C. it was controlled by many
nations. |

| They
included Estians, Jonians, Dors, Lydians, Persians and
Alexander The Great. It was then ruled by the Romans
and Byzantians for a long time and administered by
officials of Rhodes. Finally the region fell into the
hands of the Turkish between 1280 - 1290. There are
historical artifacts in this region which backup these
claims although no in depth excavation has been conducted.
Documents have been found about the area and have taught
us that the oldest former names of this region of Icmeler
are Yılaniye and Gölenye. |
