Approach
From Datça drive in direction of Knidos, staying on the main road and not taking the left to Indian Man. Pass the sector of Yenikale (where the road climbs up) and just at the end of the crash barrier on the right, take a right on a dirt road. Pass a small transformer and park next to the bee hives on the left (:parking:, 36.7263, 27.5966).
Follow the road for another 50m or so and just before it starts descending, hike up left through the forest (only minor trail marks) for about 100m (keep slightly right) until you hit a better marked trail with lots of cairns leading right almost on the same contour line. Follow this trail to the crag. The last stretch is rather exposed on loose gravel, be careful!
