The Datça peninsula can be either reached by car or boat. From Kalymnos, there are ferry's going to Bodrum, where you can connect to the ferry to Datça. It is recommended to have your own vehicle to get around on the peninsula if you plan to explore multiple sectors.

Below are the approach details for the main sectors. The approaches for other sectors can be found between the photos. In general, following the cairns will guide you to the crag.

Note that at Indian Man, there are only a few parking spots where the trail starts. Alternatively, you can park next to the picnic area a little bit before the last junction to the crag.

Be careful for turtles on the roads!

Yenikale: 10 minutes. Park at the indicated spot and from there, walk back to the main road and turn left to proceed it up. After a few minutes, you will see the crag above you on your left and a bit further a trail starts, leading directly to the cliff.

çocuklar: 5 minutes. From the parking of Indian Man, on the opposite side of Indian Man is a trail (faintly beginning from the street) going directly to this sector.

Uzark Züfara: 20 minutes: On the opposite side of the parking, cairns will point you to the path leading up to the crag. This is the first sector you see when reaching the rock.

Can Baba: 20 minutes. When you reach Uzark Züfara, go right and you will enter the impressive cave.

Shaman: 25 minutes. On the opposite side of the parking, cairns will point you to the path going up to the crag. When you almost reach the rock, instead of going right to Uzark Züfara and Can Baba, take the trail going left. Hike a bit further and the first sector you see is Shaman.

Papinosaure: 30 minutes. From Shaman, Papinosaure is just a bit further up on the trail.

Nastrolophiteque: 35 minutes. From Papinosaure, continue the trail a bit further.

Ay: 10 minutes (from parking). From the parking for Indian man, go about 50 meters back and find a well marked trail going steeply and directly to Ay. Alternatively, coming from Can Baba, following the cliff will also lead you to sector Ay by passing Ejderha.

Ejderha: 15 minutes (from Ay). Follow the trail for sector Ay just a bit further up and you will reach Ejderha. Alternatively, coming from Can Baba, following the cliff will also lead you to Ejderha.

Karia Yolu: 2 minutes. From Indian man, continue the road for about 200m and park there. Look out for the water tap. Mekanim Datça Olsun begins left from the water tap, while Match Lunules begins directly right of it. After reaching the top of this multi pitch, it is a 20 minute walk along the backside of the mountain to get back to the parking.

Domuzbükü: 10 minutes. Park where indicated and take a turn left (following signs for the Karian trail). After about 70 meters you will find cairns pointing to the beginning of the trail. Follow the Cairns to the right end of the sector. Routes Bal, Badem, Eski Datça and Cnide are located a bit further on the left of the sector.
