Turunç Cove is located on the west coast of Turkey, to the west of Marmaris, and only 40 minutes away from Marmaris. It is a peaceful village that is very different from the neighboring holiday resorts of Marmaris and Icmeler. It is a favorite of culture enthusiasts and those seeking peace and relaxation in an attractive holiday environment that has not been ruined by mass tourism. It is also a popular destination for those interested in the ancient Karya Union city of AMOS. Visitors can reach Turunç by a 1 hour and 45-minute bus transfer from Dalaman Airport, entering the village through winding roads that slope towards the coastline. These winding roads offer unique and beautiful views for our valued guests. Turunç, with its unspoiled natural landscapes and local hospitality, is a true holiday paradise and a hidden gem.
The intense mystery surrounding the history of Turunç stems from the lack of facts. Local people can only recount their experiences dating back 100 years when five families settled in this charming cove. These people lived for years in isolation from the rest of Turkey without any roads, cars, infrastructure, or electricity, yet they did not leave this region because it is truly a captivating and beautiful place. Bozburun was only accessible by boat, and the locals relied heavily on fishing and diving for their daily food and income, sustaining their lives in this way. In the 1970s, a transformation began when independent travelers spread the word about this charming little village, providing a unique perspective on Turkey's rural areas. By the 1980s, the roads were ready, clean water flowing from the fountains was no longer a luxury, electrical infrastructure made life easier, and holiday accommodation made it easier for visitors to stay longer. The village was successful in renewing and modernizing itself, but thankfully, due to its geography and map that is not conducive to growth, it avoided the traps of mass tourism that have ruined other destinations in Turkey. Today, it maintains its reputation as a quiet and peaceful holiday resort.
