Villa Smyrna - Datca
Villa Smyrna is located close to the nearby peasant village of Mesudiye. Here there are some shops ('bakkal') for small daily necessities, and one or two laid back traditional coffee houses for sipping homemade Turkish tea and coffee or a range of fresh drinks.
Another feature of the area is the two beaches of Hayıtbükü and Ovabükü. Hayatbükü is a well known marina, with a vivid harbour, and some very good restaurants and active nightlife. Ovabükü looks like an Asiatic beach, with its high row of palm trees between a mix of evergreen leaf trees. This is the ideal resort for carefree beach leisure, sipping a long drink under a roof of palm leaves, or enjoying a delicious fresh meal at one of the restaurants along the shore.
Cultural escapades can be made to nearby Knidos, Bozburun and Bayır.
Hotel Address: Ovabükü Üstü Mevkii - Mesudiye
Arriving from Datca, follow the signs for Knidos. After 10 km, there is a sign for Mesudiye. Turn left and follow the winding mountain road downwards to a fork in the road. The left one turns to Hayıtbükü, and the right one to Mesudiye. Turn right and follow this road until you arrive at the village. Turn right and follow the asphalt road for another 2 km. There, on your left, you will see the magnificent white Villa Smyrna. Good luck and enjoy your stay!
