The Mehmet Ali Aga Mansion and its History

Mansion History

The two-thousand year old heritage of Datça, which Strabo, the ancient Greek historian and geographer described as the “Place where God sent His children for whom he wished a long and healthy life,” was resurrected in the early 2000’s, much like a Phoenix rising from its ashes. The “Mehmet Ali Aga Mansion,” which is perched on the summit of the Reşadiye neighborhood from which the peninsula got its second name, or the “Kocaev” (The Big House) as the local people call it, has been faithfully restored and transformed into a center serving tourism and regional culture by providing the kinds of immaculate service suitable to this century.
