The location : Turunc is a small harbour village nestled beneath a large mountain area which brings welcome shade when the sun goes down in the evening. On one side there is the harbour (where Es is located) and over the tiny bridge is the beach front area. There are a couple of small municipal beach areas but all the seafront restaurants have ‘free’ beach areas where you can spend all day for the polite price of at least one drink. We found ourselves there most days and spent very little and were never hassled. The village : Turunc is quiet and much calmer than Icmeler and Marmaris. There are dozens of bars and restaurants. The ones we visited were pleasant, friendly and the food was always very tasty. You’ll struggle to find bad food or service here. Everyone is very friendly. The apartments : ES has 2 apartment blocks on a steep hillside. The lower one houses the restaurant and bar and the higher one has apartments and the pool. There is a lift from the harbour to the first block. There are a series of steps through their well maintained garden areas to the 2nd block. The pool is small but it is in the sunshine all afternoon and we never found it to be busy. Infact most days we were the only ones there. There’s no beach bar but instead you’re left to your own devices to relax and soak away the day. Perfect for relaxing and reading. The restaurant : The ES restaurant isn’t busy but it really should be ! The staff do everything they can to accommodate you and the food that we had there was made with good quality produce and freshly cooked. Their Fillet steak is amazing ! Melts in the mouth. Every day they offer Turkish breakfast, fruits, yoghurts or toast and jams/honeys served with tea or coffee. The restaurant overlooks the harbour and is in a beautiful location. In the evening the bar stays open until around midnight but thankfully they don’t have loud music playing and it’s a nice place to spend some time with a glass of wine (Ask Fatih for Petrol haha). We stayed self catering with BnB and we were never hassled into eating at the restaurant in the evening but when we did dine there we were treated like old friends and had a lovely time. The rooms are nicely decorated with very comfy new beds, TV’s, small kitchenette and also air con and a safe for a small standard fee. The air con is a must. The front apartments have truly amazing views over the harbour. They’re spacious and although they have simple and basic equipment, they are more than adequate. We stayed for 10 days and ate at home 4 of those nights. There is a well stocked Migros supermarket just around the corner so you’ll not be without supplies. There is also a superb bakery in the village. Occasionally, as the water heating is from the solar panels, at busy times we had to wait for enough water for an evening shower but that was no inconvenience at all and only ever a wait of around 10 minutes. The rooms are cleaned every day with fresh towels and bedding by the lovel
