General presentation
Péninsule de Datça
The Datça peninsula separates the Gulfs of Gökova and Hisarönü with a long strip of reliefs and bays. The city and its ancient districts form a base for exploring this rural and maritime complex. At the western end, Cnide has its remains around two old ports, far from the large urban centres.
The discovery of the Datça Peninsula is based around Cnide — Knidos, Datça and its neighbourhoods and landscapes of the Datça Peninsula. The stay thus alternates between the coast, the countryside, the heritage and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only most famous site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: long distances between the bays and Cnide; access to prepare according to the route. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Heritage
Cnide — Knidos
At the end of the Datça peninsula, Cnide developed around two ports separated by an isthmus. The Caribbean city combines remains on the continent and on the ancient island, in a particularly legible maritime geography.
Walk
Datça et ses quartiers
The town of Datça occupies the middle part of the peninsula of the same name. Its centre moved from Reşadiye to İskele in the 20th century, leaving several nuclei to be distinguished in urban discovery.
