Turunc © www.flamatours.com

Overview: Turunc was once a sleepy fishing village, but has grown into a popular holiday resort over the years. Sheltered by forest-covered mountains, the town is situated on a small, rounded bay and is near to the larger resorts of Marmaris and Icmeler. Turunc has managed to retain its charm and offers a more low-key resort experience to holiday makers than many other Turkish resorts. The beach is pleasant, with safe swimming in crystal clear water, and there are several watersports such as parasailing, pedal boating and jet skiing on offer. There are also plenty of restaurants catering for a range of tastes, as well as lively bars to enjoy, but those looking to dance the night away would be better off elsewhere. Turunc also has a large range of shops, offering the usual fake designer goods, leather items, souvenirs and jewellery, as well as a chance for holiday makers to improve their bargaining skills. For those looking to step off the beach for a day trip or overnight stay, there are several interesting excursions such as trips to the historic sites of Ephesus and Aphrodisias, visits to traditional Turkish baths, boat rides or microlight flights in the Dalyan Delta and jeep safaris in the mountains. There is also a regular dolmus (minibus) service to Marmaris for those looking for more action, and a nice alternative to the bumpy mountain road is to get there by water. As the town grows, more amenities are sure to follow, but for now, Turunc offers a relaxing holiday and a chance to get away from it all.
