Ovacık

Ovacık is inland farmland and vineyard country between Alaçatı and the southern coast, and it is the part of the peninsula that still reads as agricultural. Roads run between stone walls and gum-mastic scrub to small coves that never feel crowded.

There is little infrastructure here, which is the appeal: a few wineries and rural tables, quiet accommodation, and easy access to both Alaçatı's dinners and the coast. A car is essential.

It suits travellers who want space and landscape, with the peninsula's busier parts fifteen minutes away when they want them.
