Arıkan Konaği

Eastern Mediterranean


This quirky inn is at the bottom of the ascent to the castle. It is housed in an old mansion dating from 1890 and features a dozen rustic but comfortable rooms over three storeys in the original building, with two newer outbuildings as well. There's a decent restaurant here too, serving superb lahmacun (Arabic-style pizza) baked in an open-air stone oven.
