The Konagi is the restored mansion of an Ottoman provincial Governor, filled with antiques of the period, and is now a boutique/hotel complex in the tiny village of Resadiye, 2kms from the town of Datca, which is itself about 80kms from the resort/city of Marmaris. The hotel also includes a restored Ottoman 'hamam'. We have been there several times, eating and staying in the accommodation. The restaurant is a great experience with locally-grown and sourced produce and innovative menus, but it is also the complex's beautiful setting in Resadiye village, the sensitive resoration of the old Ottoman-style mansion, its gardens and positioning along the Datca pensinsula that continues to draw us to the place. The hotel is not that far from Maramaris and is a scenic car or taxi ride from the city, with the possibility of visiting the wonderful ancient site of Knidos (you can also get there by Dolmus, but this can take some time). We sail in the area and visit many small restaurants, some only accessible by boat, and recommend the Datca peninsula for all its various attractions, and the Konagi in particular, for a day-trip from Marmaris or a more extended stay on the peninsula, where there are also several attractive walking possibilities.

The Captain's Place is a village taverna overlooking the marina in the pretty village of Datca serving delicious local fish courses (£8-10) and meze (£4-5) to holidaymaking families, locals and international tourists. Grab a table outside to enjoy dinner from its elevated dining area overlooking the harbour and the spectacular sunsets. Chicken with walnuts, sea bass (levrek) and raki (Turkish aniseed liqour) are highly recommended. You can add your opinion to the other thousands of positive ones on the tables and walls! If you want to get away from Brit dominated Marmaris, it's a beautiful one hour drive or bus ride on a winding road with jaw dropping Aegean views.
