Turunc

Overlooked by mountains and pine forests, Turunç is small but offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The unspoilt resort still offers something of the real Turkey and a wonderful laid back atmosphere. Its sand and shingle beach is lined with bars and restaurants and it is very good for watersports. If you prefer a change go to Amos Bay. It’s a 1 hour walk but offers spectacular views and ends amid the ruins of an old castle and amphitheatre.

Another good beach with clear crystal waters can be found at Kumlübük Bay.The resort of Turunç may be small but it has quite a lot of shops on the main street, which runs slightly inland parallel to the front. Look out for gold and silver jewellery, carpets, leather goods, pottery, wood crafts and silverware. For a wider choice, Marmaris is only 45 minutes away by boat.
