We stayed at a beautiful hotel, tucked away from the town perched on a hill, called "Villa Asina". Unfortunately Josh arrived with a pretty bad cold, but the staff - Arzu in particular - was very sweet and so hospitable to him.

Villa Asina at a glance.
Just another goat. We turned a corner on the ocean road and were confronted by over 20 of them. This guy had four legs I swear.
One of the many postcard-perfect bays we visited while staying in Datca.
We stopped for a Turkish tea while visiting one of the bays and met a tiny stray kitten. He must have been around six weeks old and was adorable. Despite being way too skinny he was less interested in food and more into affection. If it were possible I would have brought him back to Canada. Needless to say it was very sad leaving the little guy.
The owner of our hotel holding a swordfish just caught in preparation for dinner. The owners are architects and designed/built the hotel 5 years ago.
Dinner at Villa Asina. The dinner was served without a menu and the setting and the food were excellent. Lesson learned - make sure to ask the food/wine costs before dining. We received the bill the next day which came as a bit of a surprise. When in "Datca", right?
The turquoise water.
The harbor of Datca.
Our favorite lunch and dinner spot (ate here 3 times in 5 days). Delicious home cooked Turkish food served cafeteria style right out of the kitchen. The man with the moustache (above) we think is Zekeriya - friendliest man!
Swimming at the little bay just steps from our hotel. After a couple of days Josh was up and about so I took him down to the bay where I'd gone when he was in bed sick.
Bye for now Datca and Villa Asina! We'll be back. Thanks to Arzu (above) for making it a really special visit.
