Olive Garden Hotel - Datca

This 14-room boutique hotel offers its guests a peaceful environment in an idyllic setting. The surrounding garden is partly an age-old olive orchard, and partly recently designed to assure comfort in the shadows of palm trees while enjoying the flamboyant colours of bougainvilleas and other tropical trees and flowers.

In the garden, there is a swimming pool and a charming restaurant where you can sample traditional Turkish cuisine and culture. There are often performances by local musicians and dancers in both traditional and contemporary styles, which make for a wonderful Turkish evening. Although you are close to the beach and the picturesque village of Mesudiye, you get the feeling that the hotel is far away from the hub of mass tourism.

The Datca Peninsula is still one of Turkey 's most unspoilt spots, boasting lovely vistas, rich flora, fresh air and crystal clean waters. Those who enjoy exploring and hiking will be surprised by the variety of nature and richness of its many undiscovered places. This virtual island remains a wild and heavily wooded frontier region, famous for its three (Turkish) Bs: Balik, Bal and Badem (fish, honey and almonds).

Datca is a small town of around 5000 inhabitants. There is a lively harbour set in stunning scenery, whose relaxed atmosphere will captivate you immediately. The entire region is a combination of traditional Turkish friendliness and hospitality, tranquillity, sophistication and good fun. You can choose to seek any or all of these qualities, as the mood takes you. Discover the real Turkey, unspoilt and away from the crowds.
