Altin Camp & Hotel - Special Category

I switched to a room after a storm warning made camping seem unwise. For 40 euros (2000 TL), it was disappointing. There was enough space, and each upstairs room had a balcony, but the room was very cold with no heater or AC. The shower took ages to get warm, and even then the water was barely warm. The WiFi was on but didn't work at all. The cafe and restaurant on site were always closed, so there was no breakfast or even tea-making facility. The curtains were thin, flimsy, and too small for the window, which meant campers in the beach area could see into the room even when they were shut.

A quiet campsite under lots of different trees, with plenty of shade. It's great for families with small children or anyone who likes peace and quiet. There are loads of cicadas, though, and they really sing. I loved the sound, but if you don't like it, this may not be the place for you. The toilets were clean, and there was always warm shower water. The beach is close, and the restaurant serves good food at reasonable prices. The staff only speak Turkish, but they were helpful, and we got by with Google Translate. This is a campsite, not a five-star all-inclusive hotel, and it offers what it promises. If you enjoy camping, you'll probably like it a lot.

A nice spot for families or friends to camp in a tent or caravan, and you can book a room if camping isn't for you. They serve homemade food in the evenings and make their own pizzas. The beach is clean and pleasant, with a clean, sandy seabed.

We planned to stay one night but ended up staying three. We had a lovely pitch right by the water, and there were lots of friendly, cute cats. The owner was very kind and patient with us, even though we had to communicate using Google Translate. It was $22 per night. The showers had nice hot water, and there was hot water in the dishwashing area too. The downside is that the restroom facilities need updating and regular cleaning.
