well everry body come on and start posting on these areas .
we lease an apartment in Turunc it is a lovely village very freindly beach is good has blue flag, The village has got one main street with side roads of all with shops and resturants also along the beac front are so really good restraunts , but i must say i have not had a bad meal in turunc all good . you can get the sea taxi to iclemere& marmaris takes about 40 minutes also the dolomus . there are some nice walks to go to in turunc if you go early on in the season when it is cooler there are a few bays you can go to on the sea taxi amos is one of them if you want to chill out for the day that is the place to go so quite water lovely.
There are enough resraunt & bars to keep you happy for well over your 2 weeks holiday there are many trips you can do as well. If you want a nice chill out time go to Turunc if you want to party you can go to MARMARIS OR iCLEMERE both easy to get to lindie

Hi Lindie,
I love Turunc,and I would really like to buy a property there,but with my aim being to live in Turkey when I retire,I would imagine that outside of the Summer season,the village would close up,and it would not be practical to live there in the winter.
What do you think?

ps - See my photo album for a couple of Turunc shots.

Bob,
We have an apartment in Turunc. We returned last week from there after a week's holiday. We love Turunc during the holiday season, and although there seem to be quite a lot of Brits live there, must say we could not see the appeal. When we arrived April 15th almost everything was shut, about 2 restaurants open, apparently there were none up until a couple of weeks before that. The dolmuss' dont run to Marmaris during winter, and also no taxi-boats, so if you don't have a car you are completely stuck. At first, although things were starting coming to life, it just had the feel of any holiday resort shut for the winter, if you don't mind that you'd probably be OK. It also rains a lot in winter - torrential downpours apparently, and if you have a holiday home I doubt that it will be built to be warm enough all the year round. This is just our opinion, others probably disagree, but you should go in the depths of winter to make up your mind!

Hi all, we stayed and Icmeler for 2 weeks last year, quite early on in the season. We had a great time there and we also explored Turunc and agreed,it is a lovely place.

We found a fantastic fish only restaurant on the outskirts of Icmeler. It was out of the towm centre but was on the main road to marmaris. We had some lovely grilled fisk there, cipura (sea-bream) and levrek (bass), very good size fish and very cheap, 8million lira apiece last year complete with a large salad, chips and a free oven cooked flat bread (like a oversized tortilla, sorry can't remember the turkish name) complete with a garlic cream paste, simply wonderful.
Icmeler isn't so bad as well but problably a bit manic in high season like most other turkish resorts (apart from Turunc and Akbuk that is).
