Datca is a district, as well as the center town of that district, in Mugla Province of Turkey. It is situated midway through
the Datca Peninsula, almost 100 km in length, following the ondulations of small bays and coves all along, and practically an
island since it is connected to the mainland through an isthmus of only several hundred meters in width. At the very tip of the
peninsula is the antique city of Knidos (at the locality called Tekir today).Datca has nine villages scattered along the outline
of the penisula. These are; Cumali, Emecik, Hizirsah, Karaköy, Kizlan, Mesudiye, Sindi, Yakaköy, Yaziköy. Around 1000 BC Dorians
invaded the southern part of Caria and established the Dorian Hexapolis with the cities Cnidus (Datça), Halicarnassos (Bodrum),
Cos, Kamiros, Lindos and Ialissos (the last three were in Rhodes). Cnidus was also the centre of this City Union. It had quite
an effective political and economic structure considering the period.During the Persian invasion in Anatolia, Cnidus fell under
Persian attack (546 BC). In difence, the Cnidians tried to separate themselves physically from the mainland by digging a channel
through neck of the peninsula (today Balikasiran). Unfortunately the rocks were very sharp and hard. Many Cnidians were injured as
a result and an envoy was sent to question the oracle at Delphi. According to the oracle, Zeus did not approve of their work and
the Cnidians abandoned their project. The Persians entered the Peninsula without any resistance and were greeted peacefully by the
Cnidians.In the later Periods, Cnidus was dominated by in turn Athenian Empire, Spartans, Alexander the Great, Roman Empire and
Byzantium.In year 1220 the Menteshe Tribe (a Turkish tribe) conquered Datça. In 1390 Sultan Yildirim Beyazit attacked the Menteshe
Principality. The Peninsula passed to Ottoman rule. During the reign of Sultan Resad (18th century), the name of the Peninsula
changed to "Resadiye".After the Turkish Republic (1923) was founded the Peninsula regained its old name of "Datça". Today Datca is
a district of the province Mugla.Among these the village of Emecik is of interest for being founded by leprous outcasts of the society
abandoned in these coasts by a Spanish galleon in the 17th century, who reportedly later recovered from their affection and founded
the village. The physionomy of the inhabitants of this village is different than those of the other villages. Another point of note
on the settlement pattern is that the locations chosen were never in the immediate coastline, but always at a mile or more's distance
from the sea and at a relatively safe altitude on the slopes of a hill. The reason was the millenary scourge of the entire region that
were the pirates, as advantaged by the intricate geology of shores of southwestern Turkey and of the many islands and islets that are
its natural extensions, in an environment not unlike that of the Caribbean Sea.
