Its story
The Deveboynu Lighthouse was built in 1931 on the headland at the westernmost tip of the Datça Peninsula. It takes its name from the headland's shape, which resembles a camel's neck (deve boynu). The lighthouse is just west of the ancient city of Knidos, at the point considered to be where the Aegean and the Mediterranean meet. Walking to the headland after visiting Knidos to watch the sunset is a popular route.
