The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region

The Datça – or to give it its Ottoman name, Reşadiye – peninsula is renowned throughout Turkey for its natural beauty and climate. Strabon of Cappadocia (56BC – 21AD), one of the first philosophers to relate climate to health, said, “God sends his subjects to whom he wants to give long and healthy lives to Datça…” We can’t promise you that but we can certainly guarantee an unforgettable experience!

The road from Marmaris follows the spine of the peninsula with dramatic and panoramic views of the Aegean on one side and the Mediterranean on the other.

Picturesque coves with crystal clear waters are spread along the route leading to the harbour town of Datça.

Datça has a very Turkish feel with relatively few foreign visitors. A wide choice of restaurants is spread between the two natural harbours and the overall environment allows you to get a real feel for traditional Turkish life.

Pine forests are intermingled with oak, myrtle, gum and carob trees. Almond trees, olive and citrus groves, grapevines and all manner of herbaceous plants are there to be discovered as you explore the mountains, valleys and plains of the peninsula.

The region is particularly historically rich as it was one of the most important commercial and cultural centres throughout the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean from the times of Ancient Greece through to the Byzantium Period.

The ancient site of Knidos was the centre of all this activity.

These villages of the Datça Peninsulas provide the ideal location for those looking to escape completely from modern-day tourism as we know it. There’s plenty for the active to experience, but it’s also a great place to just relax.

Datca area

Datca is only an hours drive from the bustling resort of Marmaris but the pace of life here is slower and more relaxing. The locals are really friendly and welcoming. The town has plenty of great shops and restaurants (especially if you're keen on trying the local cuisine).

There is a great beach beside the harbour in the town area and plenty more coves and beaches just a few minutes drive or a bus ride away. Boat trips are available to the nearby Greek Isles, the large resort of Bodrum or to the ancient ruins of Knidos at the end of the peninsula. There are sailing schools and diving clubs available along with a great new waterpark/restaurant just 10 minutes drive away. Hiking is a popular pastime in the mountainous terrain.

Every Saturday there is a large market in the town which is a must for bargain hunters.

How to get there

Nearest airport is the newly renovated Dalaman International. We can arrange for you to be met here and taken directly to the villa at a cost of approximately £25 per person (based on 4 people sharing a car) . The drive is approximately 2 hours and the scenery en-route is absolutely stunning. Alternatively you can take a taxi or pick up a hire car at the airport.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The villa is ideal for families and couples alike. No expense has been spared in furnishing it from the comfortable sofas to the king-size bed in the master bedroom. Sliding doors lead onto the large terrace where you can relax in the evening on the swinging chairs sipping a chilled wine and look over the illuminated swimming pool to the lights of the town beyond.

We have a large selection of DVDs including kids viewing. We've also recently installed an iPod docking station so bring yours along and listen to your favourite tunes whilst relaxing (this will also charge your iPod, so no need for heavy chargers in your luggage!!)

Further details outdoors:
Just a stones throw from some small local shops or 15 minutes walk from the large supermarket (Migros)
There is a large pool and a children's splash pool surrounded by a sunbathing area (sunbeds included). I have recently bought 3 extra sunbeds just in case all the poolside ones are taken.
There is a local representative living nearby who is easily contactable and always ready to help with any queries or maintenance issues. He speaks perfect English and is a personal friend of mine.

Further details

If you are arriving at night time we can arrange to have some basic provisions left for the morning (milk, coffee, bread...etc...etc)

Conditions

Smoking permitted on terrace and balconies only please.

Guestbook for Riviera Villa

We were very impressed with Riviera Villa and had a thoroughly enjoyable 2 weeks. We decided to risk it and hire a car from the airport which proved to be a good idea as it saved us the transfer fee and meant we were able to explore the peninsula at our leisure. We have 2 kids but the villas position meant we could watch them play in the pool from the terrace which gave us peace of mind. The owner had left numerous DVDs for us to watch in the evenings. The villa is nicely furnished and the views (especially from the master bedroom) are amazing.
We went to a different restaurant each evening and were not dissapointed once. There are plenty of great beaches and a fantastic new waterpark just up the road. Slightly further afield we found Knidos (an ancient ruined city) a totally amazing experience. Mark and Helen Winters, Bangor N.I. August 2007

"Riviera Villa had everything we wanted. It was spacious and beautifully furnished, close to the town and beach, had GREAT views, was close to the pool and it was the perfect base for us to explore the peninsula and town. We enjoyed dining out in the evenings where we could watch the yachts sail in and out of the harbour from the comfort of one of the many great restaurants. Another aspect we liked about Datca is that there were very few other brits but plenty from elsewhere in Europe which gave the place a really cosmopolitan feel. Trevor Pinion and family, London. June 2008
