Türkiye · Mediterranean (Marmaris area)

Turunç

Turunç is a quiet single-bay village where pine forests run down to the water, cicadas fill the afternoons, and the sea stays warm late into the season. The bay is sheltered enough for easy swims straight from shore, while boat trips lead to wilder, quieter coves like Kumlubük, Çiftlik, and Loryma. There is not much to do here on purpose: walk the ridge above town in the morning, swim until lunch, eat at beachfront restaurants, and let the evening settle over the bay. Come for the water, but stay for the rare luxury of being left alone by the world.
