Bays and beaches

Murdala Bay on the Gulf of Gökova

Plan a day on the peninsula’s northern side separately from the bays facing south.

Place the bay on the map

The provincial tourism office lists Murdala with Mersincik and İskandil among Datça’s Aegean-facing bays. If staying near Palamutbükü, the straight-line distance across the peninsula is a poor guide to travel time. Check the actual route in and out.

By sea or by land

A boat itinerary advertised as Gökova can cover many bays. Ask the skipper if Murdala is on the day’s route. By land, check the current approach locally in Cumalı, pack food and water ahead of time and allow daylight for your return.
