Located in a beautiful bay close to Icmeler and
Marmaris
on the Eastern coast of the ancient “Loryma
Peninsula”
today called
Bozburun Peninsula, Turunç is well on its way to becoming
the place to
holiday in your Place
in the Sun on Turkey's
Mediterranean coast. Ride down the winding
mountain road into the bay and you will, like many others who have
traveled that
road, feel compelled to stop to take pictures from the
lay-by's provided for that purpose.
When you arrive in
the village, you won't fail to be struck by the tranquil atmosphere and
easy going feel
to the Restaurants and
Shops which remain free from the hassle of some of
the other resorts.
The
Loryma peninsula has, in the past, hosted 13 historical settlements.
Everywhere, among beautiful bays, green forests and
mountain villages there are many traces of bygone civilizations. Among
them, the most important, the ruins of the ancient city of
Amos.
Like other villages in the area, Turunc has had settlements
from Hellenistic to Byzantine times.
The
last settlers in the recent past were the “Yoruk” nomads, who came from
the neighboring Taurus Mountains.
Former occupations of this original self-sufficient population are still
in use today - collecting carobs and herbs from the hills, such
as oregano, thyme, bay leaf and sage and maintaining beehives. Natural
pine honey is the favorite product of the peninsula.
The
ancient vineyards of the Loryma Peninsula are now used for the cultivation
of
olive trees.
Olive oil and pickled olives are the
most important products of the Aegean region.
Once a small fishing
village, Turunç has grown as tourism has developed but, due to the vision
of the
local town planners, it is
destined to become a resort for the discerning
holiday maker.
Today
Turunc is a small holiday centre, with an excellent beach, good shopping
facilities, small bars and restaurants. Turunc is
now a well established preferred destination for Turkish and foreign
holiday makers interested in long term and short term stays.
The village,
which forms part a beautiful and charming bay is situated on the Aegean coast. The bustling town of Marmaris is only
a 40 minutes bus
or boat ride away. In contrast to this overcrowded tourist town, the visitor can enjoy a quiet undisturbed stroll
along the
seaside, the main road or the inland side of our pretty village.
You will be surprised at the variety of natural beauty that the panoramic
view offers around the pine-covered mountains, the
secluded coastline with many small and pretty islands and the Aegean Sea
glimmering with the early sunrays of dawn.
The bay of Turunc is one of the most beautiful along the Aegean coast.
Houses / Villas / Apartments in the area
can be found for holiday rentals but this cannot compare to the pleasure
of ownership
where you can holiday in what is not only your own home, but
also an investment for the
future.
