Restaurants built over bubbling, fresh water streams that fall from the highlands create an unforgettable setting. The towering pines and cooling breezes of Gokova Park are often a welcome respite from the hot sun. Along all the 75 km from Marmaris to Datca, the road winds among trees and hills, permitting lovely views over the expanse of blue. In Datca white-washed buildings hung with bougainvillaea decorate the town. Around the marina bars, cafes and a wide selection of shops keep the tourist interested.
Some shops remain open well into the evening.
Relaxing over a pre-dinner drink and then a delicious meal in a welcoming restaurant is a popular way to spend the evening hours. Of course, the local eateries offer both fresh fish and classical Turkish cuisine. With any remaining energy, take a stroll and find a disco to your liking so that one day continues on into the next. 10 km north of Paca, the Kornum harbour is connected to Bodrum by a daily ferry line. Kargi is one of the most popular.
