Jenny's House

Datça & Bozburun Peninsulas


Across the road from the harbour, this charming pension has rooms around a lush garden. A couple of rooms give on to the pool in the centre, but we prefer the two doubles on the 1st floor with a large shared balcony. Affable Briton Jenny offers afternoon tea, with homemade cakes and jam, and her Turkish brother-in-law Salih can help with holiday rentals.
