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.
