Responsible Tourism Pledge
Old Datça is a living village at the heart of the Datça Peninsula Special Environmental Protection Area. Carrying its beauty into the future is in all our hands. During your visit, we kindly ask you to follow a few simple principles.
Protect nature
Do not harm the endemic flora, olive groves or shores; please don't pick flowers, stones or plants.
Conserve water and energy
Summers on the peninsula are dry — please use water and energy mindfully.
Buy local
Support the local economy by buying almonds, olive oil, honey and crafts directly from village producers.
Respect the village calm
Old Datça is a slow village; keep your voice low and respect residents' daily life.
Respect privacy
Please ask before photographing people or private courtyards.
Stay on trails, carry out your waste
Walk on marked paths, take your litter with you and use the recycling points.
Thank you — your responsible visit is a contribution to the future of this village and its peninsula.
