We wanted to relax after 4 hectic but enjoyable days in Istanbul and found the perfect place.Sisters Ruhsar and Nuket Padir have a delightful guest house in the wonderful town of Adacati. Their four ensuite rooms are tastefully decorated in a restored 150 year old stone house near the centre of town . We stayed for 2 weeks and loved every minute. The breakfasts are to die for. Freshly squeezed orange or pomegranate juice. Tomato and cucumber salad, soft cheese with homemade mulberry preserve, pancakes or cheese pies, eggs any way you want, fresh baked bread, cheeses, more home made preserves, excellent coffee. We often spent half the morning in their cafe which is a beautifully restored grocery store in a 120 year old building. Our days were spent exploring Roman sites in Ephesus or lesser known Erythrae; relaxing on the beach in Ilica , visiting the Saturday market in Alacati or exploring local towns like Cesme.The Alacati restaurants serve local produce and fish( there is a fish auction in town every morning) but our favourite time was the early evening sipping local wine in Adacati's garden under a pomegranate tree . If you want to be pampered in an historic setting with good food go to Adacati Guesthouse
