 balhannah Says:  I didn't find a lot to do here. I enjoyed my walk around the harbour, watching the Fishermen selling the fish they just caught that morning. From the Boat harbour there are also boat trips available. I found plenty of waterside Restaurants, a Swimming Beach area, and nice... 

 traveloturc Says:  In my country 50 % of the bays are called Cleopatra and this is only one of example of them.This bay is situated very near to Palamutbuku and has some different character with his crystal clear water and unpolluted sand beach 

 suvanki Says:  The old Turkish Bath (Hamman) is situated near the bustling market.An hour or more of cleansing and massage is a great way to enjoy this age old tradition. At my first visit, I was a bit apprehensive, as I was the only female in the hamman. The only member of staff was male,... 

 suvanki Says:  Very much a locals market. The fruit and veg stalls are piled high with fresh, brightly coloured produce. The aroma from the spice stalls entices you to buy all manner of spices at a fraction of what you'd pay in UK. Turkish Delight (Lokkum) in a variety of flavours, which...

 Sirvictor Says:  There is twice ferryboat to Bodrum from Datca at 09:00 and 17:00. You can return at 17:00 to Datca. The voyage takes 2.5 hours. The ferryboat departs from Kormen port. You need to take a bus from Datca to the port. 

 suvanki Says:  At least one ferry leaves Symi Town harbour on Saturday mornings, for the short journey to Datca, returning around 16.30. Tickets can be bought from tour companies, or directly from the boat captain. Look for the blackboard near the Triton/Poseidon boats that gives details...
