Kybele Tayfa Otel

Rooms 7 and 11 come with a little balcony and a lovely view. It’s a pleasant walk into the center. Our room was generally clean, though there were a few small stains on the sheets and comforters. The hotel has a nice atmosphere that could be enjoyed even more.

The couple who run the place are so warm and welcoming, and there’s a restaurant with all kinds of food. You can enjoy breakfast options, sunbeds and umbrellas right by the beach, which made it easy to feel at home. It was my first visit, and I really felt that family atmosphere.

The best part is being right on the sea, with no road or garden between the hotel and the water. There are sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach too. It’s a small, charming place with a nostalgic feel, and my family and I happily return every year. This year it was in even better shape after the owner’s nephew took over the business. I’m sure it’ll be better still next year.

The shallow water was nice for the kids, though the sea was freezing. The shore starts stony and then turns sandy. We visited for a day in July 2022, and two sunbeds with an umbrella cost 70 TL, which seemed reasonable. The hot showers indoors and the beach showers after swimming were handy, and I liked being allowed to bring food from outside. The restaurant needs work: the toast was so dry it hurt my palate, and I witnessed an unpleasant argument when the menu said 40 TL but they charged 50 TL. I can’t speak to the rooms, but it’s a decent day-trip option.
