The result is a wonderful building complex with a unique atmosphere.

In this beautiful setting, IAM offers an opportunity to combine intensive work with leisure-time activities and culture. In these surroundings combining sea, sun and nature, this is the ideal place to recharge your batteries, generate new ideas, exchange views with old or new friends and develop joint projects. |

|
Turunç, a small holiday resort, is situated 21 km from the tourist centre Marmaris. The surrounding area is a gift of nature in different shades of green and blue, with numerous bays along the coast and small villages in the mountains. The Bay of Turunç, backed by high rocks, is one of the most beautiful spots on the whole southern Turkish coast.
Here you can enjoy the sea and go on small or bigger tours by car, by coach or even by boat. Perched above the small resort is the International Academy Marmaris or IAM for short. |

The complex comprises two buildings, a residential building with 22 rooms and a studio building, and the two are linked to each other by a spacious terrace with a swimming pool. If people do not meet by visiting each other in the studios, then they meet on the terrace. The terrace provides an opportunity to have company or to be on one's own. The view in any direction - up to the mountains, into the pine trees or down to the bay - is incredibly beautiful and brings new surprises every day. |
