The Datça peninsula lies on the Resadiye Peninsular, which in geographical terms
marks the confluence of the Aegean and Mediterranean. The whole peninsula has spectacular topography with mountains as high as 1400 meters, pine, eucalyptus forests with literally millions of trees and of course many tens of thousands of olive, fig, orange, lemon, trees, vineyards, many small scale fruit and vegetable farms.

The Datca peninsular is also famous for its almonds and windmills. The poet Can Yucel spent the last part of his life here and his mausoleum can be seen in Datca.

Before his death he wrote, ´Bury me in Datca, my lamb. Pass Ankara and Istanbul by.´
