Turunç, a holiday resort where the summer season lasts for seven months

Turunç is a neighborhood located in the Marmaris district of Muğla province, Turkey. It is a neighborhood with a coastline awarded the Blue Flag and is primarily dependent on tourism. The development of the village began with the opening of the Marmaris-Turunç road, leading to an increase in tourism activities.

It is approximately 118 km away from the nearest airport (Dalaman Airport), 20 km from Marmaris, and about 4 km from the ancient city of Amos. The population was 1,778 in 202. On October 9, 1998, it gained municipality status and was later reclassified as a neighborhood on November 12, 2012. Geographically, it is located on the Aegean side by land and on the Mediterranean side by sea.

Turunç is in Marmaris town which has grown and developed to overshadow the Muğla province it belongs to and mainly chosen as the first destination for European tourists, especially from Germany and Russia, to spend holidays.

In this famous holiday destination, pedestrian and vehicle traffic, as well as accommodation facilities are concentrated along the coastline. At the end of this route, travelers descend to Turunç town via a scenic and picturesque holiday road. During this descent, one feels the desire to stop by the roadside and at every turn to view the bay of Turunç.

Turunç captivates its visitors with its lace-like coves, lush vegetation, azure sea, and its distant view of Marmaris. Here one can find beaches, restaurants, cafes, accommodation facilities, and colorful and entertaining shopping bazaars along the coastal strip.

Those who stay in Turunç and enjoy the clear sea and pristine beaches also have the opportunity to participate in various fun water activities and sports.

In this resort, visitors can experience the summer season for seven months. Turunç is an important holiday destination in today’s tourism with a sea season that starts in April and lasts until the end of October. Even on the hottest days of summer, thanks to the pine-scented breezes descending from the mountains, guests can enjoy their holidays without feeling overwhelmed. This spot is also preferred by tourists who want to spend a mild winter, as the temperature does not drop below 15°C during the winter months.

On the peninsula, there are 13 ancient cities, including Cedrea, Erine, Castabus, Bybassios, Hydas, Paridion, Loryma, Physkos, Nimara, Amos, Tymuns, Saranda, and Ceresse, among which the Amos Hill, closest to Turunç, attracts attention as an archaeological site.

This beautiful spot is undoubtedly one of the must-visit places in Turkey.
