Rain Hotel

Top choice in Eastern Mediterranean


With a warm and friendly vibe, the Rain is a perennially popular choice, with 18 spotless and spacious rooms, a few with small balconies. The homely downstairs lounge is a good place to kick back and meet other travellers, and the affable owner Mehmet Öztop can organise pretty much any activity or tour for guests. Free sunloungers and beach umbrellas.

The same people run the new Rain Garden Restaurant, which also has some rooms available (s/d/tr €40/70/85).
