Ottoman Palace hotel gave us a great base for walking stretches of the Lycian way with its beautiful coastal and mountain scenery, with a few relaxing days on the beach and by the pool and wandering around the quiet low-key resort of Adrasan bay. The self-guided walks were well organised with transfers and packed lunches, and with the benefit of... More

Sue and Jon were the best and friendliest hosts ever (with a brilliant sense of humour!) and we thoroughly enjoyed 9 days as their only guests as the season was opening up in March. Fantastic walking, delicious meals and great personal service!! We were treated like one of the family and were invited to a surprise Golden Anniversary party for... More

My partner and I have just spent a memorable 3 day stay at the Ottoman Palace Hotel. We wanted to walk for two days on the Lycian Way but didn't fancy wild camping. Jon and Sue, our very friendly hosts, provided us with food, drink, maps and a phone before driving us to the beginning of a walk each morning.... More

Where to start?! Mid-20s centigrade in April, tortoises, rock roses, tulips, orchids, sea turtles, dolphins, terrapins, chirruping frogs, hoopoes (look 'em up), bees in the trees, kingfishers, eagles, a great pool AND a mile long sandy beach to ourselves, snowy mountain peaks, orange blossom (oh, that heady smell) and then freshly squeezed juice with every meal, salads that make our...

We wanted a week of warmth and an introduction to "proper" walking and came across the Ottoman Palace Hotel when searching for Lycian Way venues. It's hard to think we could have done any better. As everyone says, Sue and John are great hosts and are skilled at juggling the needs of their various guests. For us (a couple in... More

We really appreciated our walking hoiliday with Jon & Sue in early March. We were both struck by their warmth, exceptional friendliness & hospitality. We will never forget the endless cups of tea both morning & evening,the expertly organised walks arranged by Jon together with his deliciously-prepared evening meals. Throughout our stay, we were left with the impression that nothing... More

This was the second time we had visited the Ottoman Palace- the first time was when we went walking in April- fantastic walks along parts of the Lycean Way- stunning scenery and beautiful flowers in the spring. This last time was in the summer when we went with our son to do the 'activity' holiday - loads of things to... More

We chose this hotel and 'resort' after seeing a recommendation in a guide book - Fodors I think - and were attracted to it because of the promise of a low key unspoilt resort, and a welcoming hotel. Both were accurate. With son and daughter of 12 and 15 we were keen to find somewhere that would offer relaxation but... More

This low-key beach resort was just coming out of hibernation when we visited in late May. We stayed here (with our daughters ages 15 and 12) so we could hike some parts of the Lycian Way without having to camp. Owners Jon and Sue have taken the local Lycian Way hiking route and broken it up into day trips for... More
