Melinda sahil
Melinda Pension & Restaurant is a small, family-owned small hotel located right on the seafront in Ovabükü, Datça. Nestled under the shade of mastic trees and just steps from the sea, Melinda offers a peaceful and authentic atmosphere.
Since 2004, we have been welcoming our guests with care, providing a calm and relaxing holiday experience. Far from the crowds, Melinda is a place to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the quiet.
At Melinda, Ovabükü Beach is right in front of you—just a few steps away. As you step out of your room, you can reach the sea within moments. Start your day with breakfast under the shade of mastic trees, overlooking the sea, and spend the rest of your day relaxing by the beach.
At our seaside restaurant, you can enjoy light bites as well as lunch and dinner in a relaxed setting. In the evening, as the sun sets, you can end your day with Aegean mezes and fresh seafood by the shore.
Datça Peninsula
Located on the ancient lands of Caria, the peninsula is a unique geographical area where life has continued uninterrupted for centuries thanks to its natural harbors, clear sea, and fertile soil.
Located at the very tip of the Datça Peninsula, in a magnificent setting where the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas meet, the ancient city of Knidos stood out in trade, science, art, and maritime affairs with its two natural harbors and advanced urban planning; it was a center where famous scientists such as the mathematician Eudoxus and the physician Euryphon were educated. Today, this unique landscape, amidst its ruins , preserves its special atmosphere where history and nature intertwine.

Restaurant at Melinda
At Melinda, our menu is guided by a true garden-to-table philosophy. Our own olive oil, crafted from our harvest, and the vegetables we grow in our garden from early spring take center stage in our kitchen.
Our cuisine is rooted in what we grow ourselves, enriched by ingredients from nearby villages, local producers, and fishermen of the region. Accompanied by the gentle sea breeze, every bite—from breakfast to dinner—reflects the sun, wind, and natural abundance of Datça.
Inspired by the land of Datça, our restaurant is delighted to welcome guests with thoughtfully prepared dishes, carefully created by the owners themselves.

Oral and Sergül are beyond any other chefs. Quiet, calm, and peaceful..."
