Welcome to Marmaris Journey (https://marmarisjourney.com), an independent, English-language travel guide to Marmaris and the surrounding region. These Terms of Use set out the rules for using our website. By accessing or using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
The website is published by Serdar Taş, Marmaris, Muğla, Türkiye. Full publisher details are available on our Imprint page.
1. Purpose of the website
Our guides provide general travel information about Marmaris, İçmeler, Turunç, the Bozburun and Datça peninsulas, Dalyan and nearby destinations, including practical advice, prices, timetables and recommendations. The content is intended to help you plan your trip. It is not professional, legal, medical or financial advice.
2. Accuracy of information
We work hard to keep our guides accurate and up to date. Prices, timetables, opening hours and entry fees are checked against official or operator sources wherever possible, and each guide shows when it was last updated.
However, travel information changes frequently, often without notice. Prices in Turkish lira and their approximate conversions into US dollars, euros or pounds are based on the exchange rate stated on each page and can differ from what you pay. We cannot guarantee that every piece of information is complete, current or error-free at the time you read it.
Before you travel, please confirm important details directly with the relevant provider or authority, in particular:
- passport, visa and entry requirements, including for day trips to Greece,
- ferry, bus and flight timetables,
- tour inclusions, prices and cancellation terms,
- opening hours and entry fees of museums and archaeological sites,
- health, safety and weather conditions.
3. Personal responsibility and safety
Activities described on our website, such as boat trips, swimming, hiking, diving, jeep, quad and buggy safaris, horse riding and water sports, involve natural risks. You are responsible for judging whether an activity is suitable for you and the people travelling with you, for following the instructions of guides and operators, and for having appropriate travel insurance. Information on our website does not replace the safety briefings and rules of the operator.
4. Bookings and third-party services
Our Marmaris tours page and some of our guides contain links to tours, activities and transfers offered through partner booking platforms. Marmaris Journey is not a tour operator, travel agency or booking platform, and is not a party to any booking you make.
- When you book through a partner link, your contract is with the booking platform and/or the tour operator, under their own terms and conditions.
- Payments, confirmations, changes, cancellations, refunds and complaints are handled by the booking platform and the operator.
- Tour descriptions, prices and availability shown on our pages may come from our partners and can change at any time.
- We may receive a commission for bookings made through our links, at no extra cost to you. This does not affect our editorial recommendations. See our About Us page for details.
5. Links to other websites
Our pages link to external websites, such as official sources, transport operators, museums and booking platforms. We provide these links for your convenience. We have no control over the content, availability or privacy practices of these websites and are not responsible for them. Visiting an external website is at your own risk and subject to that website’s terms.
