Turunc Holidays

Pine Clad Mountains Leading To The Shimmering Sea

Turunc holidays will take you to a tranquil fishing village on the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Occupied since Hellenic times, the village to this day manages to retain its historical charm, whilst being developed towards tourism. Turunc enjoys a peaceful setting, with a pine-clad mountainous backdrop leading down to the shimmering sea. The waters here are shallow and the beaches clean making it an ideal holiday destination for young families.

Holidays to Turunc offer a varied selection of bars and restaurants with a mouth watering choice of traditional Turkish foods and international cuisines. The most popular dish here is the fresh fish caught that day, usually Sea Bass. You can watch the local fishermen down by the quay and may even see a few yachts which moor here.

The nightlife centres around the main village leading down towards the seafront though it's not a resort where you will find nightclubs. If you want a livelier night out, head to neighbouring Marmaris by dolmus (bus). Here there are many bars and clubs where you can dance the night away, even try your hand at karaoke!

Turkish Delights

There is a small selection of shops in the village and the colourful local market is held here on Mondays offering the typical wares, Turkish delight, leather goods and fruit. For those who aren't shopaholics, take yourself for a relaxing Turkish bath. The Turkish bath is best enjoyed at the start of your holidays, to exfoliate the dead skin and hopefully you will get a better tan! There are many things you can do here if you want to explore the area. Take a water taxi to the neighbouring resorts of Marmaris or Icmeler to visit the bazaars and enjoy the hustle and bustle. Take a boat to the Mud Baths at Dalyan or join one of the many jeep safaris to visit mountain villages and see the rural way of life. Water sports can be enjoyed in Turunc on the main beach. Parasailing, jet skiing, or pedaloes, you choose the pace! If its something a little quieter you prefer, take a walk along the coast and you will find one of the few secluded coves where even in high season you are bound to find your own piece of paradise.
