Turunç
A tranquil bay town at the foot of the mountains on the south side of Marmaris Bay. Reachable only over the hills or by boat, its emerald waters are clear and its atmosphere relaxed.
Turunç is a bay south of İçmeler, backed by steep pine-covered mountains and facing emerald-green water. Its limited transport links have preserved the quiet atmosphere of a small town. The beach is coarse sand mixed with fine pebbles, and the water is exceptionally clear, ideal for swimming and snorkelling. A water taxi from Marmaris or İçmeler takes about 30 to 40 minutes, with scenic coastal views along the way. Alternatively, a minibus crosses the hills in about 30 minutes, and the winding road offers views over the whole bay. Nearby are the ancient city of Amos and Kumlubük Bay, both of which can be visited on the way.
