Mediterranean Travel Destination: The Shores Of Datca
There’s nothing like basking in the warmth of the sun during summer. What better way to get the best of this season than with a relaxing dip in the sea and a long sunbathing session on the shore.
What if you get all this except you won’t just get the wonders of one sea but the luxury of two? If you think that’s impossible then you should treat yourself to a trip to Datca. This peninsula possesses a hidden charm that is unrivaled by any other vacation spot. All this starts with the enchanting features of its lovely coves and beaches.
Triple Treat
Being a peninsula that stretches between the Aegean and Mediterranean seas Datca offers you the rare experience to savor both of these lovely bodies of water. In the town of Datca that which is located at the south of the Datca peninsula you can find only three small beaches. All the other beaches in the peninsula are nestled in the surrounding bays. You won’t have much of a problem hopping from one beach to another as most of them are within short walking distance from each other.
These three beaches in the town of Datca are Kumluk Hastanealti and Taslik. If you’re on a trip with children we recommend you stick to Kumluk. This beach is not only small but has a slight slope to it. You can find several restaurants and cafes within the area.
The Hastanealti beach is equally charming and definitely an ideal place to unwind. Approaching this beach alone is a nice adventure since you can either pass through the road down the hill or through the coast.
The third beach Taslik brings you closer to the wide expanse of the ocean. Near this gem you’ll find the Yacht Harbor so expect to see several yacht boats that seem like white sheets of clouds on a deep blue sky. You might also want to wear special beach shoes as this beach has pebbles instead of sand.
Natural Warmth
Among the three beaches of Datca Talsik is the most exceptional. Its real charm lies not in its pebbles and wealth of yacht boats but in its naturally hot water pool. Yes you read that right. Just by the Mediterranean Sea is a pool with its water gushing out from the bottom of the mountains. The pool is 1.52 meters deep has a diameter of about 100 meters and a temperature of around 40 degrees. It is said that this pool cures many illnesses.
Who says the fun and relaxation stops there? Just by this pool in Talsik beach you’ll find a small waterfall that is about a meter high. We recommend you try water from this stunning wonder for a long and good massage.
