    Author’s recommendation

    • Visit Marmaris Castle, approximately 500 meters from the route starting point. Hafsa Sultan Caravanserai near the castle is also worth seeing.
    • The Apollon Sacred Site near Emecik Village on the Marmaris - Datça Road is quite interesting.
    • After reaching Datça, see Old Datça. Stone houses and colorful, narrow streets make Old Datça a must-visit on the list.
    • Kargı Bay, located about 3 kilometers from the center of Datça, is very popular here.
