If we write “Turunç is one of the 47 villages of Marmaris,” we would not be doing anything wrong, but we would be doing it wrong. If you are going to Turunc by bus or by road with your own vehicle, you will go on a winding road stretching between pines. After passing İçmeler, the climb begins. If you are in the driver's seat, do not get lost in the beauty of the surroundings and Marmaris Bay, pay attention to the bends. If you are not a rally enthusiast, you can get the 20 km asphalt road in half an hour. But if you want to go by sea, it's a 15-mile road. No matter how you go, you should definitely go to Turunc.

If you are staying in Marmaris, take a day off and get out of the atmosphere of Marmaris that makes you forget the big city. Or go through Marmaris and stay in Turunc. Turunc will suddenly appear in front of you as you go through slopes, descents, bends and pines that are always right next to you. Below is a sea, as if it had been specially painted in a particular shade of blue. Indigo, glass blue, the blue of the sky falling into the sea, every shade of blue is in the sea. Surrounded by high hills decorated with pines, a coolness falls from the hills to the beach, the sun is always bright but not overwhelmingly hot. Pomegranates, mulberries, plums and of course citrus… Why isn't there more citrus in Turunc? But geraniums are everywhere, oleanders, bougainvillea are everywhere.

Turunc is one of the indispensable stops of boats going on a blue cruise. In the evening, songs are heard from the boats anchored in the bay and the restaurants on the beach. Oh, don't forget, now the "Blue Flag" is flying in Turunc Bay. The Blue Flag is drawn by an international organization to the bays with clean water, sand and environment and the necessary infrastructure for yachts.

There are also options other than the sea and the sun in Turunc. Those who want to go hiking or join jeep-safari tours will find convenient routes. If you have a passion for diving, you can do the most adventurous dives here. You can rent all kinds of materials you need, they also provide training if you want. There are operators providing services in the bay for water sports. You can do water skiing, banana and parasailing. You can join daily boat tours to the surrounding bays. During the trip, stop by Kumlubuk, Çiftlik.
