"Named after a 16th century admiral, this bustling town still teems with seafarers today. There's a new marina on the waterfront, and strong winds and chancy currents attract windsurfers looking for a challenge. Once a small fishing village, this has grown into a thriving resort packed with cafes, restaurants and shops."
Situated in the base of a valley with a backdrop of mountaintops and citrus groves, Turgutreis is a growing resort that retains a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere while keeping its visitors entertained. With Greek islands sitting offshore, plus some of the most magnificent sunsets in the world, the views here are nothing short of stunning.
