Some of our favourite breakfast places have closed so we asked Metin for a recommendation. He suggested The Mehtap in Eski Datca for a good village breakfast. So we rose early and headed off that way. It is a rustic looking place on the main street, just past the school. The hosts were very welcoming, we arrived at 9.15 and were almost the first customers of the day. 'Dort kahvalti lufen' I said and the nice man smiled and rushed off down the road in his car. 'Hmm' we thought maybe they don't have any food and he has gone to Migros! However there was a lot of rustling from the kitchen and a smiley lady appeared with a kitch table cloth and then loads of food - olives, bread, honey, cheesy borek, fried eggs, cheeses, butter, a plate of green leaves, tomatoes and cucumber. The jam was home made I think - mulberry jam and quince.Then came 4 glasses of Turkish tea and a flask with more to top up with. We had the customary audience of a crowd of cats all gazing at us with expectation. It was almost empty when we arrived but gradually more people piled in until it was very busy. The breakfast was fresh and delicious and then came the bill. Fifteen lira each (3.75 pounds) - smashing!
Then we wandered round the village, did some shopping and finally collapsed in a cafe.
Here are some photos of our nice morning out.
