Homeros Pension

Top choice in Selçuk


This long-time, family-run favourite offers 10 rooms in two buildings. The decor involves heavy use of colourful hanging textiles, vibrant colours and handcrafted furniture (made by affable owner Derviş, a carpenter and antiques collector): this ain't no minimalist hip hotel. Both houses boast roof terraces. The six rooms in the newer (main) building are the nicest.

Three of the rooms are economy ones with shared bathroom; private bathrooms are cramped.
