Shop for souvenirs, go wine tasting, and tour Greek ruins
One of Turkey’s secret hideaways, the idyllic Datça Peninsula is on the country’s southwestern coast, near the Greek islands of Kos, Symi, and Rhodes. Make the most of this 80-kilometer stretch of stunning beaches, charming whitewashed towns, and lush forests and olive groves from the vantage point of Wyndham Datca Perili Bay. Stroll the trendy cobblestone streets of Old Datça, lined with buzzing bars and unique boutiques, or pick up leatherware, textiles, and local treats from the Datça Town Bazaar held every Saturday. Tour the summer home of revered Turkish poet Can Yücel, take in stunning views from the pristine beach at Gebekum Nature Park, and rent a boat to zip through the brilliant Aegean and Mediterranean Seas at Datça Marine. Datça Vineyard & Winery will treat your palate to an unforgettable tasting experience of award-winning wines paired with savory cheeses, breads, and olives. Wander the picturesque ancient Greek ruins of Knidos, headlined by a Hellenistic theater. Make the trip to Marmaris for beautiful beaches, lively nightlife, and plentiful activities ranging from sailing to scuba diving or visit Bodrum on your way back to the airport for must-see attractions like Bodrum Castle and Bodrum Museum of Underwater Archaeology.
