The day combines a guided stroll through the stone village of Old Datca, a traditional Turkish lunch and free time at the local market in Datca town, making it an easy, good-value Marmaris day trip for couples, families and first-time visitors.
The tour is run as a shared group excursion with an English-speaking guide and hotel transfers. If you prefer a private day with ancient Knidos, see our private Knidos and Old Datca tour, or for an adventure day try the SUV safari in Marmaris.
Highlights

- Old Datca - cobbled alleys, bougainvillea-draped stone houses and small art galleries.

Datca is famous in Turkiye for its almonds and herbs, and the peninsula's clean air and quiet coves have long drawn writers and artists. Old Datca, also known by its former name Resadiye, sits a short distance inland from the modern harbour; its stone houses have been carefully restored and today host guesthouses, cafes and craft shops. The market in Datca town is a lively place to taste and buy local products and to see everyday life on the peninsula.

- Walking: easy; the guided walk in Old Datca is short and mostly level.
