It is located 20 km (12 mi) south of Marmaris on the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by the Taurus Mountains. The area is a former fishing village, and has been populated since ancient times as the sea offers a variety of precious resources. Despite the region's fast development in recent years, the natural environment of Turunç has been preserved. As a resort, the village has won the Blue Flag award in recognition of its clean beach and water quality. The size of Turunç is about 1 km (0.62 mi), taking half an hour to walk from one side to the other. The waterfront features restaurants, bazaars and bars. However, due to the nature of the resort there are few exclusively adult establishments.

The climate is warm, and enables the tourist season to be 7 months a year from April to October.

Infrastructure

The closest airport is Dalaman Airport. It is 120 km (75 mi) east of Turunç. The Adnan Menderes Airport of Izmir is 270 km (170 mi) north of the town.

gollark: Great, I'll dump my entire modlist into there!
gollark: If you do do this, I'd like to at least advise on a modpack.
gollark: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/realistic-terrain-generation would be nice too.
gollark: There is that mod to autogenerate a city by McJty, which would be nicer than a player-designed world.
gollark: As I said, with "no cheating"/"no being a toxic idiot" (and other obvious ones) as the rules, and no claims, and *enough players*, and a decent modpack, it could be fun.
