Today, we went on a trip to Turunc.
We left Icmeler on a water taxi that cost 20TL for the both of us. Journey from Icmeler to Turunc only took about 30 minutes and that wasn't going fast as driver (captain), was doing a spot of drag fishing off the back of the boat, As you can see he caught one.
After arriving at Turunc, we headed straight for a drink at a cafe where the local Turks drink.
We then went for a walk round Turunc, which actually didn't take to long, so we headed up to the market that was on today.
I wanted to get a wallet so had a look at one stall. As soon as you start looking , there all over you. I picked up a wallet ( fake and not genuine leather ), and the guy said that's 165TL. We laughed and started to haggle. We got him down to 30TL, but to be honest , I wasn't going to buy that one.We gave him a firm NO, and started to walk off, and then he started to run after us, lol, and say he will sell for 28TL. again we gave him a no and carried on walking.
Then we saw some fruit and veg, so we got mushrooms, cucumber, aubergine, potatoes, spring onions, strawberries and peaches which we paid 20TL. Also got some saffron, at 5TL, but he did want 28TL for it.
We then went back to the same place we had a pancake type meal for 4TL. It was pancake, herbs and cheese, but it was a bit bland.
After that we got a bus back to Icmeler for 6TL each, which at same price would take you back to Marmaris. It was a bit hair raising on the bus as we had to go high up into the mountains which had sheer droops, but the views were amazing.
We survived the journey back, which took 30 minutes, and conveniently dropped us about 4-5 minutes from hotel at Icmeler market. Just gave the driver a shout and he stopped there.
The next few hours was sunbathing next to pool until it went cloudy and a thunder storm rolled in with rain. So we had a few drinks at apartment, before going to the bar.
Will post few more photos of our day out......
