Turunç Bay
Small, steep-sided bay with a village beach and clear water, south of İçmeler.
Turunç lies in a bowl of pine-covered mountains, reached by a winding road over the hill from İçmeler or by boat. Its beach is lined with small hotels, restaurants and cafés, and the water is clear and sheltered.
It suits guests who want a quiet base or a slow day by the sea, with Kumlubük and the ruins of Amos close by.
- →The road over the hill is narrow and steep — allow extra time for coaches.
- →By boat from İçmeler or Marmaris is the more scenic option for day visitors.
