Religion

Religion is a fairly laid back thing here with everyone living together without a problem. The main religion is Muslim but there are many others here to and no one seems to worry too much about the other. A new church as recently been opened in Marmaris which has no specific denomination.
Late in the year is Ramadan, pronounced Ramazan here, which means that Muslims cannot eat, smoke or drink anything but water between sun rise and sun set. This also means that someone drives around the streets banging a drum at approx 4 am every morning to wake everyone up so that they can have breakfast before sunrise!
