Marmarisa ir ostas pilsēta un tūristu galamērķis Vidusjūras piekrastē, kas atrodas Turcijas dienvidrietumos, Muglas provincē. Lai gan nav skaidrs, kad Marmarisa tika dibināta, 6. gadsimtā pirms mūsu ēras pilsēta bija pazīstama kā Physkos un tika uzskatīta par Karijas daļu. Pēc vēsturnieka Hērodta domām, Marmarisā bijusi pils kopš 3000. gada pirms mūsu ēras. Marmarisas galvenais ienākumu avots ir tūrisms. Lai gan maz ir palicis no miegainā zvejnieku ciemata, kāds Marmarisa bija tikai pirms dažām desmitgadēm pēc būvniecības uzplaukuma 1980. gados, Marmarisa joprojām saglabā savu šarmu, pateicoties tās atrašanās vietas izcilajam dabas skaistumam. Tas ir arī nozīmīgs burāšanas centrs, kam ir divas lielas un vairākas mazākas jahtu ostas. Tā ir populāra ziemas kruīzu osta Regulāri kursē prāmju satiksme uz Grieķijas Rodas salu, un ostā piestāj lieli kruīza kuģi.

Naples is a large, sprawling Mediterranean port, with a centre that has many different focuses just waiting to be discovered on an MSC Mediterranean cruise excursion.

MSC Mediterranean cruises also offer excursions to Pompeii. One of Campania’s most important Roman commercial centres – a moneyed resort for wealthy patricians and a trading town that exported wine and fish – the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 in effect froze the town’s way of life as it stood at the time.
Trips can also be taken to the island of Capri, place of legend, home to the mythical Sirens and a much-eulogized playground of the super-rich in the years since – though now it has settled down to a lucrative existence as a target for day-trippers from the mainland.

Definitely worth a visit, but these days the origins of much of the purple prose may be hard to find.
