Datça

A blaze of Mediterranean colours welcomes you as you cruise into Datça’s harbour, the azure ocean contrasting with the white-washed, orange-roofed buildings, and the emerald pine covered hills behind. Tiny waterside restaurants nestle on the edge of the dreamy little beach, and the harbour is filled with traditional wooden boats. In the hills, Eski Datça (Old Datça) is as charming as they come, the village filled with bougainvillea-draped houses and tiny cafes. 

Datça provides a picturesque harbour town and jumping off point for sailing Turkey‘s pristine Datça Peninsula. The scenic coastline impresses with secluded coves, tranquil bays, and stretches of sandy beach tucked between rolling olive groves and pine forests. Sailing on a Datça yacht charter you can explore the peninsula’s natural beauty, ancient sites like the ruins at Burgaz, and sleepy fishing villages like Selimiye. Protected islands near Datça like Hisarönü provide ideal spots for swimming and snorkelling in the crystal clear waters. With its vibrant harbour and proximity to idyllic sailing, Datça is a charming homeport for experiencing the best of Turkey’s Turquoise Coast aboard a private luxury charter.
