Tour Days: MondayJewel in the Crown
The Lost Tour Guide is delighted to invite you on a magical day out, heading West along the Turquoise coastline where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Aegean.
This immersive and memorable trip around Datça Peninsula will have you falling in love with Turkey all
over again.
Datça is a port town on a sliver of mountain and beach jutting into the Aegean. Its proximity to the many islets and islands made it a popular draw for pirates in the past. Eski Datça (the old town), in the olive lined hills above the port, has a breathtaking beauty all of its own, with its swathes of bougainvillea and quaint colourful streets and houses. The old town has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years and the traditional character of the place has been kept alive with the restoration of old houses and a sympathetic and complementary smatter of newer dwellings.
The fertile valley by Eski Datça comprises olive groves. What do you mean by this?), almonds and abundant fruit trees, including citrus, mulberry, avocado and pomegranate.
The village itself is pedestrianised to protect its beautiful narrow winding streets, the many wondrous shops selling local and artisan goods and the numerous little coffee shops and eateries. This is a great place to find holiday souvenirs with a difference, even from the olive farm and mill gift shop in the village centre.
The views over the peninsula and sea are stunning and stretch as far as the Greek island of Tilos. You may even be fortunate enough to spot Mediterranean Monk Seals basking just off shore.
Our day starts around 8 am, when we pick you up, introduce ourselves and then travel in air conditioned comfort to one of our favourite breakfast restaurants for a veritable feast - freshly baked breads, jams and honeys, cheeses, fruit, salads and more - to set you up for the day.
After breakfast, we drive towards Datça, through Mesudiye and to Hayıtbükü beach to our first stop of the day. We’ll spend a couple of hours here, swimming, soaking up the tranquil atmosphere and have a light lunch before heading to one of the biggest vineyards for a full blown tour and degustation.
After the wine tasting, it’s a short hop to Old Datça with its wealth of boutique shops, bars and restaurants. We shall while away some time wandering the myriad little streets, before joining together for an authentic dinner in a restaurant run by a lovely local couple. There is a wide range of traditional Turkish foods to suit all tastes and dietary requirements.
Fully sated and content, we then relax for the transfer back to Dalyan.
