Turunc

Turunc

Turunc is a hidden, sleepy fishing village, a 20-30 minute road journey, over spectacular mountains, from Icmeler. The pace of life is slow and comfortable and therefore very appealing to the type of client who does not want to be hassled by anyone or anything! The village is fairly small, based around a picturesque bay which offers a beach (sand and fine shingle), some watersports and a harbour. The beach runs round to the tea gardens before becoming a promenade to which the boats are moored, the cooperative taking people by water taxi to both Icmeler, a scenic 25 minute cruise away, and Marmaris a further 10-15 minutes.

The local dolmus operates regularly over the mountain and the views are fantastic. The other resorts are easily accessible for shopping and sightseeing but far enough away not to be disturbed: in fact, the outside world often seems a million miles away. One can find many restaurants along this stretch of beach which serve food and drink graciously in the day and make a perfect setting at night.

Restaurants and bars can also be found in the Main Street behind and in the many side streets which effectively make up the village centre. A variety of shops are on the Main Street so you can shop without going to the bigger resorts. The local village market usually takes place on a Monday. Turunc is a smaller, quieter, more peaceful and relaxing resort than most, but if this is still to upbeat for you try Kumlubuk, the next bay beyond Turunc.
