Property for sale in Datça: stone house, villa, coves
Property for sale in Datça is for people who have had enough of crowds. The long, narrow peninsula lies between the Aegean and the Mediterranean, with coves, almond groves, villages and little mass tourism. The journey is longer than elsewhere, and that is exactly what keeps the place as it is. We tell you what is available on the peninsula and what the restrictions mean.
February on Datça. The almond trees blossom white across the slopes, and you sit in the sun in front of your stone house shelling last year’s almonds. In the afternoon you drive down to one of the coves, the water is clear and the beach empty. In the evening there is fish at the harbour, and the owner knows you by name. Back home, there is slush.
Datça at a glance
The Datça peninsula stretches west of Marmaris, with the Aegean on one side and the Mediterranean on the other. From Dalaman (DLM) and Bodrum (BJV) airports you drive several hours by car, and in summer there is also a ferry from Bodrum.
Peace, nature and farming shape Datça. Almonds, olives, honey, wind. The main town has a small harbour and market, and the villages on the peninsula have stone houses and coves. There are fewer properties on offer, but plenty of authenticity.
