This was our favorite place to stay in Turkey. The couple that run it are so warm and giving. The location is perfect, nature all around and a great beach 10 minutes away. The town has everything you need great restaurants and very friendly locals! The room and property are great and watch out the dog steals hearts….!

I liked how well equipped and clean it was. They also have the best Turkish breakfast I have ever had (I've had a lot). The room was comfortable and the staff was friendly. I would stay here again in the future.
Visited a couple of times before. Village restaurants not so good as previously. Simbar charging more than in Kalkan for cocktails! Village generally very quiet this time, no buzz, however first time visiting in Sept, which may account for this. Bus timetable not worth publishing as they come when they want and don't always go to the bus station.

Despite its popularity, Patara remains a traditional Turkish village. This is because it is protected for both archaeological and nature reasons. Turtles nest here. We visit regularly. It is all accessible on foot but if it's very hot or you have trouble walking any distance, it is best to get the dolmus to the beach. Yes, you have to pay to enter the beach but this is because it is part of an archaeological site. The beach was very, very crowded on a hot summer weekend (avoid in high season if you don't like crowds) but it is so long it's easy to find space to sit and swim. Patara is very convenient for visits to other sites like Xanthos and Letoon.

Patara must be the one of the most perfect holiday destinations. An enormous, world class beach which means it is never crowded.
In addition you walk past or through the excavated Lycian and Roman ruins of the ancient port city - amazing!
And, of course, the wonderful generosity and good nature of the locals.

The village was small and very chilled with no hassle.
The village was small and very chilled with no hassle. I'm a single Mum and went with my 11 year old daughter and it was such a safe environment. The people were really helpful and friendly. It actually reminded me a bit of Guatemala, bit of a hippy laid back vibe, no McDonalds etc in sight! The beach was amazing, great waves for body boarding and miles of golden sand with only one beach restaurant, so unspoilt! Surrounded by ruins and a laying ground for turtles has ensured Patara beach isn't flooded with shops, beach bars etc, so 10 miles of loveliness. Best beach I've ever been to in Europe easily... Food in Patara is really affordable, booze a bit more (Muslim country) but fine. Some restaurants don't sell booze but plenty do! Spent so much less this holiday than in Greece. I never usually go to the same place twice but would seriously consider returning to Patara. Loved it!
- Very well maintained green area with a beautiful view of the pool and palm trees from the balcony. The rooms are clean and tidy. Good wi-fi.
- Delicious breakfasts, there are always fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables.
- Attentive host and his family are always ready to help solve any problems.
- A gorgeous sandy beach, which can be reached in several ways. In the evening, you can go to the sand dunes and admire the sunset.
Thank you for your hospitality, we enjoyed everything! Highly recommended!
Staff were great. We were warmly welcomed by the manager Hasan who helped us with checking in. Merve is great too and the pool
boy as well (forgot to ask his name) and of course Hatice who is a great cook. We had all of our meals at the hotel thanks to Hatice. She rocks! everyone else was great and we loved the whole vibe and atmosphere there.
A lovely cozy family-run hotel in the serene village of Gelemiş.
The colours and smells of flowers in the hotel yard are stunning!
We also appreciated the welcoming attitude of hotel staff; also a ride to Dalaman airport was easily arranged.
Of course, Patara beach, Patara ancient city and Lycian trail are a must-visit.

This is a small family run hotel, and the owners couldn't be more helpful. They were genuinely welcoming, and happy to answer any questions. We were offered transport to the beach if we wanted, and felt very much at home in the comfortable surroundings. The evening meals offered were exceptional, and very good value.
We had a very relaxing stay at this especially wonderful place. The kids loved the swimmingpool. The room was very nice and clean, the garden beautiful and with turtles and chicken. Patara village and beach are close. The owners are very kind and helpful. We made friends with other families. 🥰
The host gave us 2-bedr instead of 1 for free. Good breakfast and dinners -thanks to stuff. Big area. Swim pool. Free laundry. Very clean. Pomegranate tree near balcony. Helpful stuff (hi to daugter). Good location, price. It was the best hotel dur our trip (imho) Highly recommend!
We loved the seclusion, location and views. Cesmi, the owner was always available for advice and help and sorted out the few issues that we had, promptly and efficiently. The bottle of Patara wine was a lovely welcome gesture and the home baked bread was greatly appreciated.
It's the centre of the village but anyway it's quite far from the beach and Patara city.
The staff is welcoming and friendly.
Breakfast was nice, there was a variety of dishes, Turkish style breakfast.
There was hot water.
Everything worked in the room.
This is a small tourist village in front of Patara beach. There is everything you need - shops, cafes of European and ethnic cuisine. The villa is new. The staff is very responsive. The pool is very clean. Perfect place!

It is a nice and cosy place run by a friendly family. Food was good and in large portions. The hotel is right next to the main road, so it easy to reach and there was not much noise. The room/hotel was clean.
Very good location in the centre of Patara with nice restaurants in the neightbourhead. Unbelievably friendly and helpful staff and owner. Nice breakfast with a lot of fruit. Good swimming pool.
The host is German, who can speak good English. The pool is very clean and warm, overlooking the valley. It is in Patara town, convenient to visit both Patara ancient city and the beach.
The hotel is located in a small town near patara beach, its like a little piece of heaven. The garden and pool area are unique and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
A nice family run hotel with very clean rooms which is somewhat of an advantage comparing to other establishments in Turkiye. The breakfast is modest but filling.
