Kumlubük 

Kumlubük

Kumlubük is famous for its beautiful beaches, nearby fish restaurants and for Dutch Ahmet’s place (Ahmet having lived in Holland). The numbers for Ahmet’s, where the best seafood, cooked naturally, is to be found is 0252 476 72 42 – 476 72 59. Do ask for prices before ordering.

There is a scenic dirt road from Turunç to Kumlubük, starting from behind the Turunç Hotel. You could spare one of your evenings or mornings to walk to the ancient city of Amos, which is one hour on foot from Turunç and half an hour from Kumlubük. Amos was one of the more important ancient cities of its time, though today little remains. On the narrow and long flat space on the hill top above the gravel beach between Hisar Burnu (Fortress Point) and Kumubük, you will see the theatre and the city walls. The necropolis of the ancient city is leaning on the hillside above the small cove to the north. However, you will be more impressed by the stunning view below you rather than the ruins.

How to get there?

To get to Turunç from Marmaris you travel along a 21 kilometre long winding, hilly road running through pine trees. There are regular minibus services and you can also get there by sea.
