5 KADINLAR DENIZI
(Ladies Beach)
Kadınlar Denizi eclipses Kuşadası town's small artificial beach, although

backed by big hotels.
Sleeping & Eating
Popular bases on the two peninsulas are Eski (Old) Datça, the capital of an Ottoman dis-
trict stretching into today's Greece, with cobbled streets and old stone houses; and
Bozburun, a rustic farming-and-fishing village on Sömbeki Körfezi (Sömbeki Bay), an
agreeable spot where only a little tourism has arrived.
