Daphnis Hotel

Bodrum Peninsula


Vaguely akin to a Göltürkbükü hostel, this beachfront place has a plethora of tiny (though perfectly formed, and designed) rooms bang on Gölköy beach, and some apartments a couple of blocks away. There's a lovely garden to chill in with dreamy bay views, and a fine bar-resto.
