Turgutkoy | Bozburun Peninsula, Marmaris, Turkey

Turgut or urgutkoy is a small village along the coast, up the Bozburun Peninsula from Bozburun. There is a beach, a few simple tourist restaurants and a low-rise hotel that is integrated well with the surrounding restaurants.

On the main road just beyond Turgutkoy is the carpet weavers association outlet (+90 53372 78769). This is the safest place to buy quality carpets and kilims in Turkey if you have not done it before, although you should still expect to haggle. Prices can be anything from tens of pounds for a cotton kilim to several thousand pounds for a silk carpet. Your purchases will be shipped to your home after your holiday, with the balance paid on delivery.
