turkish dishes terrace view great location

The breakfast offered a variety of turkish dishes and the service was kind. i enjoyed the terrace view with the local church and the distant sea. the location was great. It was near a tram stop and tucked away from busy areas!

the walls seemed quite thin, and sounds from neighboring rooms were easily audible.

terrace view helpful staff local tours

The breakfast each morning was a delight, with a particularly wonderful view from the terrace (I made sure to arrive early to get a window seat). Cavid from the night shift offered excellent advice about local tours. He was helpful in guiding me around the area.

I did notice the internet signal was a bit unstable at times.
