The Basics

Turgut Waterfall is a serene, relatively undeveloped area, ideal for those looking to enjoy a day surrounded by nature. The waterfall flows year-round, but the volume of water is particularly impressive after the spring rains. Visitors can enjoy the natural surroundings, relax by the pool, and take in the tranquil atmosphere. There are small local cafes nearby, offering simple refreshments and snacks. The area is also perfect for a short hike, with a well-marked trail leading from the nearby village of Turgut to the waterfall, making it easily accessible for most visitors.

Things to Know Before You Go

Before visiting Turgut Waterfall, it’s important to know that the area remains quite natural and rustic, so there are limited facilities. While there are a few small cafes around, it’s a good idea to bring your own water, snacks, and sunscreen for the day. The path leading to the waterfall is relatively easy to navigate but can be slippery, so wearing comfortable, sturdy shoes is recommended. Keep in mind that the area might get crowded during peak tourist season, so early visits are ideal for a more peaceful experience.

How to Get There

To reach Turgut Waterfall from Marmaris, you can either drive or take a local minibus (dolmuş) heading towards the Bozburun Peninsula. The drive takes around 30 to 40 minutes, and once you arrive in the village of Turgut, the waterfall is a short 15-20 minute walk through the countryside. The route is scenic and easy to follow, with signs guiding visitors along the way. Alternatively, taxis can also take you directly to the village, but a car rental provides more flexibility for exploring the area at your own pace.

When to Get There

The best time to visit Turgut Waterfall is during the spring or autumn months when the weather is mild and comfortable for hiking. The waterfall is most impressive after rainfall, typically in late winter or early spring, when the flow of water is at its peak. Summer can get hot, so visiting early in the morning or late in the afternoon is recommended to avoid the midday heat. During the summer months, the area can be busier, so planning your visit during quieter seasons will allow for a more peaceful experience.

Day Trips from Marmaris

Turgut Waterfall is a fantastic option for a half-day or full-day trip from Marmaris. Many local tour operators offer day trips that include a visit to the waterfall, often combining it with stops at other natural or cultural sights in the Bozburun Peninsula, such as the village of Turgut or nearby beaches. The waterfall is perfect for nature hikes and photography, providing plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding pine forests and enjoy the scenic beauty. For a more personalized experience, consider hiring a guide for the day, or simply enjoy a relaxing day in this peaceful spot.
