Marmaris/Physkos
by Tdiver
"A bit of its history"
Marmaris originally called Physkos and part of Caria one of the old Aegean Kingdoms.Its name is claimed to have come from Mamalos where the Carians lived under Lydian rule in the 6th century B.C.It first becomes well known in the 4th century as part of the Rhodian Empire formed in 408 B.C. by Lindos,Lalysos and Kamiros.In 334 B.C. Alexander the Great conquered Marmaris.Then in 163 B.C. it and the surrounding area came under Roman control,then Byzantine.
Marmaris castle was rebuilt during Suleman the Greats journey to conquer Rhodes.
Very little survives today,the old acropolis stood on the present Asar Tepe a km and a half from the harbour but only a few walls remain with almost nothing inside.
