Turunç (pronounced Turunch) is a small village set in a beautiful bay on

the southern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Once just a small fishing 

village, it has grown slowly over the years as tourism has developed but 

maintains its peaceful character and relaxed atmosphere.

The area has been occupied since Hellenic times and it is said that, after

the Byzantine period, mountain people known as Yoruks moved down to 

the area and looked to the sea for a living and those roots remain part of

the village today.

Tourism has changed the village and is now its main focus but the friendly, 

welcoming nature of the people remains. With its Blue Flag beach and 

excellent climate (hot in the summer, moderate but still warm in the winter), 

Turunç is the ideal place to relax and unwind as well as take in the 

beautiful countryside and historic culture.

Turunç is located 20km south of Marmaris and is 120km from the

airport of Dalaman.

The magnificent statue of Mustafa 

Kemal Ataturk in Turunç Harbour. 

The founder of modern Turkey, his 

memory is dear to all Turkish people.
