#Halloween2023 The history of Türkiye's Datca Peninsula can be traced back to 2000 BC. The first known indigenous people were the Carians, and this period was also the most glorious period of the peninsula. The Dorians came south through Thrace and Greece to the present-day Datka Peninsula in 1000 BC and established the center of the Knidosian civilization in Burgas, 1.5 kilometers northeast of the present-day town center. The Dacsa Peninsula is popular with tourists, especially those who enjoy sailing trips, as it has many beautiful bays and islets of various sizes, which are promoted as blue cruises along the southwest coast of Turkey. Sailing boats usually depart from Bodrum, Marmaris, or Datsa. On the afternoon of our arrival, our Spanish friend who was exploring the Peninsula Bay by sailboat also sailed from Marmaris to the Teca Yacht Club Pier. We also took the opportunity to visit the boat and have dinner. I feel that the current domestic tourism methods are unique in the world. A Turkish friend spent seven full days sailing around the peninsula, and only the bay part. Our tour this time was definitely an in-depth tour by domestic standards, but including the night time, our total stay on the peninsula did not exceed 18 hours. #OverseasTravel #Turkey #TurkeyTravel #TurkeyTourism #TurkeyTravel #TurkeyAttractions #AegeanSea #Sailing #AncientTown #Peninsula
