EGE SEFASI MARMARİS — Restaurant in Marmaris

We stopped at Ege Safasi for dinner before heading to the dancing fountains, choosing it based on the good reviews.

The atmosphere was quite authentic full of Turkish people and without being...

This evening we had a lovely diner at Ege Sefasi. If you are looking for outstanding Turkish food for a decent price, go find them when you visit Marmaris! Not all the waiters speak English but if you ask for Harun, he will help you with politeness, a smile and a quick joke 😉

The manisa kebab, the pide, sarma beyti were really hood, and I can especially recommend the soups of this place. Even the locals come here to enjoy the soups. That must say...
