Hera Hotel

İzmir & the North Aegean


Here at the Hera, a pair of 200-year-old Greek houses have been cobbled into sophisticated accommodation. Each of the 10 rooms, which are named after mythological Greek deities, feature timber ceilings, parquet floors and kilims. The best rooms are Zeus and Hera; both have views and Zeus' bathroom is particularly large. There's a garden and panoramic breakfast terrace.
