Turunç

Turunc is a gorgeous and picturesque beach resort of Marmaris hidden away in a wonderful bay on the southern coast of Marmaris, next to the popular beach resort Icmeler. A must see destination.

If you’re looking for fine golden sands to relax on while you take in the historic atmosphere on your Turkey holidays, the beach in Turunc is exactly what you’re looking for. The thyme, bay leaf, garden sage and carob plants which grow around here give this place an aromatic air, which is what brought the first settlers, known as yoruks, down from the mountains to turn this place into a home.

It’s hard to find a tourist who isn’t dozing in the sun on the beach during the day, or admiring the view across the water from a bar at night. The peaceful stretch of sand and shingle has light and cooling breezes and a small quay for visiting yachts.

There are no nightclubs here and the nights are serene and can placate even the most highly-strung, so most of the tourists here are those looking for peace and quiet. However, if you’re the type who wants an undisturbed stroll along the seafront during the day but also alleviates stress under speakers and lasers, Marmaris, which is packed with nightclubs, is only a 40 minute bus or boat ride away.
