Summer in Turunc feels like someone turned the sunshine setting to ‘holiday mode’. July and August regularly slip into the high 20s and low 30s, with bright, still days perfect for bobbing in the bay or lingering over an ice-cold Efes by the waterfront.

Spring and autumn bring that dreamy just-right warmth the low to mid 20s that lets you wander ancient ruins, tackle coastal paths and still enjoy late afternoon swims. The sea stays surprisingly warm well into October, which is why seasoned Turunc fans love coming back then.

Winter slows everything down. It’s cooler and you’ll get some rain, but the mountains turn misty and dramatic, the harbour feels sleepy in the best way, and it’s a lovely time for quiet walks, big breakfasts and cosy taverna evenings.

Take a hike

Wait, come back! We didn’t mean leave, we meant take an actual hike – in the mountains! Turunc’s unique location offers the best of the Turkish landscape, and is surrounded by the Taurus Mountains. Whether you take a guided tour or set off along a rambling route, if you love the outdoors, taking to the hills here is too good to miss. Make sure you give yourself enough time to enjoy the sweeping views from the top of the peaks; you’ll see the Turkish Riviera mapped out magnificently in front of you.

Take a boat tour

Turunc’s attractive marina was once the site of a bustling fishing industry and, although there are still fishing vessels working in the bay, many of the boats are now dedicated to pleasure cruises and tours. Get a new perspective on Turunc from the water, and look out for the diverse sea and bird life that this region of Turkey has to offer. Why not be a bit extra and book a sunset trip?

Visit Marmaris

Much of Turunc’s appeal comes from it being nestled along a quiet stretch of coast; it still has the feel of a hidden gem. So, for a change of pace, why not visit Marmaris for the day? This bustling city offers bazaars, beaches and the best of Turkish culture, and it’s only just over half an hour’s drive away. Book a taxi or a coach, or hire a car and get there in your own time. There’s so much to see, but a day will give you the perfect taste of a city in Turkey.
