Datca (Cnidus), home of the Cnidian Aphrodite,  is one of those rare places where nature and history are in harmony.

Situated between the well-known holiday centres Marmaris, Bodrum and the Greek islands of Rhodes and Kos, the Peninsula has retained its own charmingly original characteristics.

The pleasant climate of this idyllic Peninsula will fascinate you. The low humidity in conjunction with constant cooling sea breezes diminishes the effects of the intense heat.

The extremely oxygen-rich air makes Datca (Cnidus) a very healthy place to live in. Could this be, why the most ancient medical schools known to man were established in this region? The afflicted came here to find a cure. This "Magic Climate" is ideal for people with heart, circulatory, nervous and rheumatic diseases.

Datca (Cnidus) is an ideal place for active holiday-makers with a choice of water sports, including wind surfing, sailing and scuba diving to occupy most enthusiasts.

The varied nature and richness of the beautiful undiscovered parts of the Datca Peninsula will surprise those who enjoy exploring and hiking.

 And if you get tired, close by the beach in Datca-Centre is a freshwater spring, which is slightly warmer than the sea. The spring is reputed for its natural healing powers. Here you can relax.

Off the main tourist routes Datca appears to be more like an oasis, a beautiful, quiet haven of peace and tranquillity. But sun, sea and beach aren't the only attractions here. 

Around the lively yacht harbour you will find plenty of restaurants, a good selection of cafes, bars and shops (carpets, jewellery, leather...).

In weekly bazaar (Saturdays) you can happily wave good-bye to your liras. There are also banks, pharmacies and doctors in the town
