The town of Turgutreis is named after the Ottoman Admiral Turgut Reis who was born there in 1485.

Known in the West as Dragut, Turgut Reis was known for his expeditions on the coasts of Spain, France, Italy and North Africa, as well as for his participation in the Ottoman siege of Malta – where he died during that battle in 1565.

A few kilometres outside Turgutreis town center, just the other side of the Marina, is Sabanci Park, a waterfront memorial marking the place where the Admiral Turgut Reis first set sail.

Today, it’s a well manicured destination, with plenty of interesting props for photo opportunities, and an ideal location for enjoying a peaceful walk away from the hustle and bustle of Turgutreis town centre.
