that when the gods held someone in particular favor-they sent him to this
peninsula to enjoy a long life.The town of Datca has become popular stop
over for yachtsmen, and offers many seafood restaurants and pubs.
BENCIK : Bencik streches inland 3 km, almost as if
attempting to break through to the other side.It is a great pleasure to
wander about these coves and imlets dringking in the loveliness of their
blues and greens. The beauty of the scenery cannot be adequately told and
must be experienced to be appreciated.
