Datça & Bozburun Peninsulas

If it is a less frenetic experience you're after, head for the rugged peninsulas that jut out from Marmaris and stretch for over 100km into the Aegean Sea. The western arm is called the Datça (sometimes called Reşadiye) Peninsula; its southern branch is called the Bozburun (or Loryma) Peninsula.

Surrounded on three sides by the sea, Datca is another corner of paradise where the mediterranean embraces the Aegean.The area dazzles the eyes with its peerless natural beauty, extremely clean seawater and virgin coves.it also addresses those interested in history with the antique city of Knidos located nearby.
