About Us

Seasons following a cup of tea

At Turunç Cove, under ancient willows, we have a small garden right by the sea. Here, time flows differently — ayran is cold, tea is brewed, and conversations are long.

Arzu Çay Bahçesi opens every morning with hands from the same family for years. Those who escape the crowds of Marmaris and find us by boat or coming down from the hills know; there is no hurry here, each order is prepared individually, gözleme is made for you right on the pan.

The refreshing breeze filtering through the pines is a gift of our location at the intersection of Turunç's air currents. Those who think they came to sit for an hour realise they are still here after three cups of tea.

From Our Kitchen

Our herb and cheese gözleme is made with freshly prepared dough in the morning, our own blend of cheese, and a recipe perfected over the years. Those who say "delicious" are right.

Our handmade lemonade can serve you the best lemonade of your life on a hot Turunç afternoon. The secret is simple: fresh squeezing, the right proportions, and timing for the ice.

Our icy ayran is indispensable during Turunç summers. It rushes to your table the moment it is taken out from the fridge to start sweating.

We also have a special island tea — picked directly from the mountains, perfect for a weary walk or after a boat trip.

"Shade from the willows, the refreshing breeze, herb and cheese gözleme, icy ayran... a piece of heaven."

— From our guests' words

Welcome, sea

Come by boat, come by foot, from Marmaris or a cove tour; however you arrive, a table, a cup of tea, and a piece of shade will always be ready for you.

We are not just spending a season here, but a whole life. Get to know us, sit with us, and don’t hesitate to say "one more" when the tea runs out. This place exists for that.
