The fortress built by Sultan Sülemaniye (Suleiman the Magnificent) in 1522 now houses a small museum. Shortly before the capture of Rhodes, 200,000 of the sultan's soldiers took refuge in this castle. Within the museum are exposed various objects discovered during the excavations of Datça and Knidos: potteries, tombstones, statuettes, amphoras... From the top of the castle, very nice view on the old city, the marina, and in the distance, on Içmeler. The walk is pleasant.
