Notes[edit]

(moved from a subpage)

Until about the middle of the fourth century BC, Knidos was halfway along the peninsula, near the present district center of Datça and all prior references are to this site.
The peninsula is xx km long from Tekir (Knidos) to Bencik where it joins the mainland. In all its length, apart from coastal patches, there are only two areas where the land is fertile. The eastern half is bare, mountainous and less inhabited and the western half is also mountainous, rising in places over 1,000 meters. But this half, towards its western end on the south side a considerable extent of well-watered land reaching to the coast at Palamutbükü and supporting a group of villages known collectively as Betçe (the five villages). The other fertile area where the best and the largest good land is found within fifty miles is in the middle of the peninsula, where the plain, the valley and the town of Datça are located.
This was noted already in 1847 by the geologists Thomas Abel B. Spratt and Edward Forbes in 1847 who wrote, "The plain and valley of Datça is very fertile, having fine groves of olive and valonia and of almonds and other fruit trees, with abundance of water, if properly utilized."
