Twenty-two miles of protected water between the Datça and Bozburun peninsulas. The bays here are deep, the holding is good and the meltemi arrives softened by the hills.
The sandbar that runs half a mile out into the bay is the reason everyone knows this place. Anchor off the strip, dinghy ashore, and walk out in knee-deep water. Two good restaurants on the water and a chandlery.
Six tavernas along the quay and a fishing fleet that still works. Mooring lines ashore, water and power on the pontoon, and the best octopus on the gulf. Gets full by six in August.
The town that builds the gulets. Slipways, sail lofts, a proper hardware street and one of the few places on this coast where you can get a stainless part made the same day.
A long narrow inlet that nearly cuts the Datça peninsula in two. No village, no road, no phone signal at the head. Line ashore to a tree. The most sheltered anchorage in the gulf and the quietest night you will get.
One restaurant, a jetty, a generator and nothing else. They will take your lines, feed you and charge almost nothing if you eat ashore. Bring a torch.
A Hellenistic fortress standing over the entrance, unfenced and unlit, exactly as it has been for two thousand three hundred years. Two simple restaurants. Rolly if the southerly gets up.
