Known in Turkish as half island 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 and even an amphitheatre line the harbour side and each evening an assortment of gulets, yachts and gin palaces arrive to drop anchor in this attractive setting. A drive through the peninsula with pine forests, hill top villages and roads zig zagging down to sea level will bring you to Knidos, an antique site dated 4000 BC. If you prefer less strenuous activity then there are numerous bays, some sandy, some plebby but all with crystal clear water.
