Zümrüt çıralı Boutique

We hadn’t planned to stop, but we were hot and hungry and came across this place. It felt like an oasis. There are tables and chairs right in the river, where you can eat in the shade and keep your feet cool. The menu is simple, but the food was well prepared, and the staff were relaxed and really friendly. There are hammocks on the riverbank for after the meal. We have great memories of it.

There are shady little sitting spots all around where you can listen to the cicadas and watch the resident doggies. Nature surrounds the place, though the beach is only a short drive away. We loved the clean, nicely decorated yet practical rooms, the lovely pool and the good restaurant food. Service was great, and the generous breakfast spread changed a little each day. We loved every minute!

It’s been a while since I’ve stayed somewhere with such attentive service. You can tell the owner, husband and wife, and the rest of the team love their work. Our room was spacious and nicely decorated, and we really enjoyed the food. With a car, the location worked out great for us, close to the beach and other places to see in the area.

We stayed for a week in February to organize training, then added a few more days for company work. There was loads of room, and the mountains nearby made for lovely walks. Hussein and his wife were so welcoming and helpful: they arranged firewood delivery, brought our Trendyol orders, drove our friends to the airport, and even let us use the kitchen with the chef. They kept in touch on WhatsApp before we arrived while we sorted out all the details. I really hope we get to visit them again.
