Datça (Reşadiye Peninsula)

Datça is the long, thin peninsula reaching west between the Aegean and the Gulf of Hisarönü — Knidos at the far tip, the old town at Eski Datça inland, a single coast road threading the badem (almond) groves and the small coves the second-home Istanbul families took quietly through the 2010s. The eating runs through a handful of village rooms working with the peninsula's olive oil, almonds and small-boat fish, anchored in 2026 by Duru Akgül's Yakamengen III (Türkiye Young Chef Award). The hood reads as the quiet alternative to the Bodrum peninsula — three hours by car, ninety minutes by ferry, and the room density that keeps the chapter small by design.
