DATCA RESORT & PORT - TURKEY
( Datça ve Datça Limanı )
The quiet fishermen village Datca is located about 65
kilometers from Marmaris.
Datca, with just 8000 inhabitants is on a peninsula
surrounded by nature. Its location is unique: North of the
peninsula is the Aegean Sea and at the South the
Mediterranean Sea. From the peninsula you have a panoramic
view on the Greek islands Kos, Simi and Rhodos.
Datca is not yet discovered by mainstream tourism because
there is no airport nearby. Here you can still taste the
real Turkey in Datca. The village is famous for its high
oxygen level in the air and the low humidity. Even in the
hottest summer months, a gentle breeze will allow for a
pleasant stay. The sea and the coast line are stunningly
beautiful. In the village itselfyou can find a little beach
and thereareplenty quietlittle bayswhere you can enjoy the
peace and beauty.

When you are in Datca you can visit the natural hot water
spring in the centre of Datca. This little lake feeds a
small water fall, where between 4000 and 5000 liter water
flows into the sea every minute. The hot water allows you to
swim also in the coldest winter months. On Friday and
Saturday a visit to the weekly market iscertainly
worthwhile;on this market you can buy cheap vegetable, fruit
and clothing."Eski Datca" or Old Datca is located 4km from

in time by centuries! Walking down the narrow streets, you
