Falcon

Datça & Bozburun Peninsulas


For fair prices and hearty food, the Falcon is perfect: a stone oven pumps out delicious pide (₺13 to ₺20) or opt for sizzling lamb and chicken dishes. The Falcon has never stopped talking about the day in 1999 when a Greek boat disgorged Princes William and Harry – who promptly sat down and had a meal. And they have posted newspaper cuttings to prove it.
