Looking for quiet/secluded coves for wild camping — Aegean & Mediterranean coast, Turkey

Information

Planning a tent trip along Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coast and looking for quiet, less touristy coves (koy) to pitch a tent — ideally somewhere with:

Access by dirt road or short hike (not a big resort town)

Some shade/shelter (pine forest preferred)

Freshwater access nearby if possible

Not overrun in peak summer season

Traveling by car, flexible on exact route between Muğla/Datça area and further along the Med coast. Any personal recommendations, Google Maps pins, or areas to avoid (permits, private land, turtle nesting beaches, etc.) would be really appreciated. Thanks!
