Palamutbükü
A long pebble bay on the south coast of the Datça Peninsula with brilliant, clear blue water. Small restaurants and guesthouses line the shore, and it makes a good swimming stop on the way to Knidos.
Palamutbükü is a pebble bay about 20 km southwest of Datça town, stretching roughly 1 km along the peninsula's south coast. The water is exceptionally clear, shading from pale green to deep blue, ideal for swimming and snorkeling, with a small island just outside the bay. Along the shore are family-run guesthouses, beach clubs and restaurants known for the day's catch. The pace is slow and visitor numbers are modest. On the way to Knidos you can stop here to swim and have lunch, then visit the ancient city for sunset. You'll need to drive yourself or hire a car with a driver.
