The Turquoise Coast/Lycia region
Datca is situated on the Datca peninsula is surrounded on three sides by sea. Datca is a town where life centres around the harbour. Carpet shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars line the harbour side and each evening an assortment of gulets, yachts drop anchor in this attractive setting.
In Datca you don't need a car but it can only add to the holiday allowing the freedom to explore. A drive through the peninsula with pine forests and roads zig zagging down to sea level will bring you to Knidos, on the tip of the peninsula, a site dating back to 400BC and most famed for its statue of Aphrodite.
There are numerous bays, some sandy, some pebbly but all with crystal clear water and many ideal for snorkelling. Karaincir is a bay - just 12km from Datca town it has a splendid golden sandy beach and calm, shallow waters.
Driving through the small villages scattered around the peninsula you will be surprised to find how traditional life continues. If you prefer to explore by boat there are boat trips available from the harbour calling at many of the bays unreachable by road, you can even take a day trip to the Greek island of Symi. The nearest major town is Marmaris, a one hour drive through the mountains, the scenery is spectacular and at points you can see the sea on both sides of the peninsula. Bodrum is a ferry ride away and there is a daily ferry boat taking two hours.
On Saturday the villagers assemble in Datca for market day affording the opportunity to buy some of the best local produce. Datca is famed for its almonds, honey and thyme and something you cannot buy in the market - the air! In ancient times it was known as "magic air", due to the north wind that blows in the summer there is very little humidity and this is considered to be of great benefit for some medical complaints!
Nearby "Eski Datca", or Old Datca. is the original inland settlement. Crooked little stone houses line the narrow streets.
