Top choice in Turquoise Coast
A fine English-Turkish-owned hotel with a lovely pool, 27 sea- or mountain-facing rooms, a cosy library and an Ottoman-style terrace. Owner Muzaffer is a history buff and you'll find 350-plus antiques here and old farm implements outside, including a 2000-year-old olive press, an ancient beehive and a replica Lycian tomb (for his dog).
The owners also offer four modern and spacious apartments (€450 per week in high season), and lead excellent highly informative tours.
