Datça
This modest Turkish town sits at the midpoint of the Datça Peninsula, a forested, mountainous strip of land that divides the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. The compact centre has a concentration of cafés and restaurants along the waterfront, and the peninsula's western tip holds the ancient ruins of Knidos. Independent travellers use Datça as a base for exploring the rugged peninsula, which stretches roughly from Marmaris toward the open sea.
