This section is intended for people who may have special needs or 

requirements who are considering visiting Turunç. It is not comprehensive

but we will add to this section as we receive information or requests from

people for help. If you cannot find the information you require, or have any

particular questions, please email us, we will be pleased to try and help.

Turunç has evolved from a small fishing village into a tourist centre and

is continuing to make changes to improve access and cater for all visitors.

This program will continue and we will provide any feedback we consider 

appropriate to  the proper authorities. We have split this section into:

Mobility

Most buildings in the village are no more than 3 or 4 storeys high and lifts 

are not generally provided. Staff tend to be extremely helpful, however, 

and most places can arrange ground floor accomodation.

The centre of Turunç is generally flat and the streets are block-paved and 

in good order. Kerbs are a little higher than in the UK but most have been 

lowered in places for access. There are some drains running across their 

width. The walkway next to the beach is a little narrow and access to the 

beach tends to be via a few steps but staff will happily help you.

The best way to assess how well the village meets your needs is to 

look around using the Virtual Tour on this site.

Climate

Being on the Mediterranean coast, Turunç has a wonderful  climate 

and can get very hot in the summer - easily reaching over 40°C. The 

sun can also be very bright and intense. If you are vunerable to this 

in any way, you may prefer to visit in May or September/October when 

it can still get very warm but it is not so intense and nights are cooler. 

Always bring plenty of protection and be careful in direct sunlight.

Dietary

If you have any special dietary needs, most retaurants and hotels

will be only to happy to try and help. The food tends to be very fresh -

especially the fruit and vegetables - and freshly cooked to order.

If you suffer from a nut allergy, please note that whilst nuts are not used

a great deal in dishes, they are served in a lot of places and may be

stored near other food. If you have any concerns, please speak to the

manager of the place you intend to eat.

Medical

If for any reason you require medical care whilst in the Turunç, there is a

doctor available in the village. If you require hospital treatment, there are

two excellent hospitals in nearby Marmaris which are modern, clean and

offer an excellent standard of care. They are private however and

Turkey is not a memebr of the European Union so make sure you have

adequate medical insurance.
