I am not sure you could spend 2 weeks here but I loved Bozcaada Asadı (Island) it is so pretty and very restful - there are some photos here at the beginning of this album

Cesme and Alacati worth a visit.

Agree Lissa, I really liked Alaçatı although a tad more expensive than we like as Çeşme and Alaçatı are the playground of the wealthy Istanbulites... some of the pics in the album are from Çeşme and Alaçatı.

I would also recommend Datça although it is many years since I have been I believe it is still relatively unspoiled or possibly Turunç which I found a little too small for my liking. There are busier nearby resorts to visit though.

Doğan did spend some considerable time "tasting" the wine Ovacık2 but we didn't bring any back  :o

Çeşme is quite big but Alaçatı isn't and its just up the road. We only stayed over night in Çeşme and I was personally disappointed but we didn't spend enough time there to really get a feel for the place and see some of the things I have seen on Turkish travel programmes.

mkwhite,
 Pauline(wife ) has just read this thread of posts and Nichola's suggestion of Bozcaada  reminded her that Assos may be worth a look. Small but interesting, very beautiful and lots of trips close by including Troy even Bozcaada.

May help if for two adults/young older family?

Foça and Eski Foça too are worth considering and the scenery along that part of the Aegean coast is simply stunning in places.

You could try Bozburun, Orhaniye, Selimiye all on the Bozburun peninsular or Datca. All are mainly resorts geared to the Turkish market & yachties. Not sure there is enough in any of them to keep you going for a week, & other than Datca, there aren't any major supermarkets. Also, you may have to find your own way there on the dolmus from Marmaris.
