ITAP Guide for Participants

How to reach ITAP:

In order to reach ITAP by plane, Dalaman international airport is the best choice. There are some direct flights from European cities to Dalaman during the summer months. If direct flights cannot be found, the best choice is to fly to Istanbul then take a domestic flight to Dalaman. From Dalaman, a convenient airport transportation service (the name of the company is HAVAS) exists to Marmaris. When you are at Marmaris, a 25 km ride by taxi (right at the bus station where you get off the airport transportation bus) is available in order to reach ITAP.

Another alternative is when you are already in the western part of Turkey and want to see the country side as you travel. You can take an intercity bus from any major town you are directly to Marmaris. From Marmaris to ITAP is the same as above.

Information about Turunc:

Turunç, a breath taking village in a distance of 20 kilometers from Marmaris is best known for its nature. Being small in size and the fact that it is a village still not commonly visited keeps its nature exquisite and clean. Turunç has been a spot of settlement since pre-historical times. The villagers who used to earn their lives from agriculture and fishing have started to earn their living from Turunç's sensational atmosphere that attracts visitors.

Being among big villages such as Marmaris and İçmeler, Turunç attracts visitors with its untouched nature. One of the indicators of its cleanness could be the “Blue Flag" that the village has won, a prize given to any touristic place that is able to protect nature and keep the environment clean. There are two ways to get to Turunç, one being by boat from Marmaris or İçmeler and the second by vehicle through a beautiful route. Should you come by vehicle you will notice a beautiful bay below the road. If you should decide to come by boat, taking 25 minutes from İçmeler and about an extra 15 minutes from Marmaris, you would be thrilled to find a piece of heaven hidden behind the hills. When it comes to its distance from the Dalaman International Airport we could easily say that it is around about 120km.

Due to its climate, Turunç gives you an opportunity to swim seven months a year, starting from April to October. Not only does it give you the possibility to swim but also to go trekking, jogging or scuba diving.

Information about Marmaris:

Marmaris is a world renown city for national and international tourism. Being a city of 50.000 residents during the off-summer seasons, the city's popultion increases by almost a factor 10 during the summer months.  The area is dense as far as the natural riches are concerned with high mountains, thick pine forests and the turqoise Mediteranean sea.  There is a large number of good hotels and opportunities for shopping, swimming, scuba diving, blue voyage excursions on the Mediterranean, hiking, cycling, visiting cultural and historical sites of the eastern Mediteranean. More information about Marmaris and the region can easily be found in Google.
