Over a 2 week trip in Turkey this is hands down some of the very best food I had! The food tastes like a delicious home cooked meal because it is! The soup was to die for and the manti was incredible! I would fly back to Turkey just to eat here again!

Location: It is based on a quite street with stunning views of the valley and sea in front of the house. There are chickens, roasters, cats, kittens, goats and dogs in the village which make it a lovely atmosphere. The sea is a few minutes walk away in an amazing narrow bay surrounded by cliffs. The walk there is through endless olive trees. Hosts: The owners are super kind , friendly, helpful and cheerful. They have created one of the most amazing gardens you’ll ever see. It is a bliss to eat in their garden. There is so much time and effort spent in the garden. It’s exceptionally beautiful thanks to their dedication. Food wise the fresh fried dough (pişi), homemade orange, sour cherry and black mulberry marmalade are an epicurean’s dream ! Super tasty ! Also the freshly picked figs from their garden are amazing too. In terms of dinner, the rice with pasta (şehriyeli pilav), bulgur and purslane dish was divine ! Ramazan , Şenay and their two daughters are just a lovely kind caring family who’ll make you feel just like you were in your own family home :) Facilities: The room has a tasteful bucolic decor with incredible beautiful rugs with a modern bathroom, AC , fridge and everything super clean and hygienic.

really amazing village style breakfast with homemade jams i will remember forever, and a spectacular garden environment, and beautiful sea views. service was so warm and attentive. the absolute perfect place for a leisurely breakfast before a day of exploring. you won’t be able to get up. four stars only because we were charged 100 TL for two small bottles of water that we didn’t even order. after an amazing breakfast, this water price inflation feels a bit unreasonable.

We had a beautiful, tasty breakfast in the green oasis that is Senay Cafe! After eating, the owner showed us the way to a small blue cove at the end of the road where we went for a swim and had the beach to ourselves. Wonderful people and place!

This is a lovely place to stay if hiking the Lycian way. Knocked one star off as to date was also the most expensive of the trip. The room was fairly basic, although the bathroom was newly renovated with a hot shower, but the prices were more than the hotels in nearby towns. The owners are very friendly though and the breakfast was good. The views from the upstairs terrace are also beautiful.

This amazing cafe is 100 meters off the trail and well worth the extra little hike. I had fried chicken, rice, and potatoes. Simply delicious. This lovely woman can cook. The breakfast spread is full of her homemade jams that are the best.
