Beymelek Tas Evler

Okay I have read all the previous reviews and they are very different from our experience. We are walking the Lycian way 300kms in 21 day’s staying at different places each night. This place with out doubt was the worst place we stayed in. We have thought long and hard to find something positive about this place but sadly there are none. It’s dirty and dingy full jars of cigarette ash in bar leaving bad smell. There were half drunk coffee cups left lying around for what looked like days and the beer glasses were dirty. In short the place was an health hazard. Outside our room was a pile of mattresses and rolls of toilet paper. The door to the room could only be opened with a lot of force. The house maybe old but it shows none of its grandeur as it’s dark and cluttered with mattresses and other stuff even a fridge in the corridor which holds the beer. the owner was simply the most arrogant passive aggressive person we have met along our journey. He is an ex politician by all accounts which may account for his skill at bossing people including us. The beers were 40% more expensive than anywhere else owner charges in euros and does his own exchange rates to TL which are very favourable to him. I would class him as a crook. So please do not stay here the view is only good if you like looking at white plastic tunnels growing vegetables it’s not conveniently situated it’s not a pleasant place to stay at all and you will be swindled on prices and subjected to the arrogate owner who seems to have had a lot of experience at telling people what to do without listening to what they want. The perfect politician.

The owners were friendly and gracious, most of the fruit and vegetables we were served were grown by the owners. The building is quaint and unique. We enjoyed two great meals, the breakfast spread was amazing. The tomatoes, peppers, olives, and fruit were all grown on site and the breads were local style and fresh baked.

This was our last night stay during our Lycian Way trip and by far the best. The hosts were exceptionally welcoming and friendly. The hotel is a renovated traditional stone house and is cosy and attractive. The room was spotlessly clean, the shower had plentiful hot water. We had our evening meal here and it was a feast of traditional Turkish food, Gozleme, Dolma and lots of fresh vegetables. Breakfast was a similar affair of traditional dishes and lots of it. We enjoyed chatting with the hosts (with the help of a translation app). We would highly recommend staying here as it is beautiful, charming, homely, and you are guaranteed a warm welcome.

Après avoir séjourné dans quelques hébergements le long de la voie lycienne, ce fut un changement radical à tout points de vue lors de notre séjour à Demre. L'emplacement est tranquille, la nourriture est excellente et variée. On a même eu des sacs repas pour le trek préparés tôt le matin pour nous permettre un départ avant la chaleur. Nous avons été bien conseillées pour les sentiers et avons bénéficié d'un service de navette pour s'y rendre. Mais, ce qui nous a le plus plu, c'est le souci de notre bien-être de notre arrivée à notre départ. Tout le personnel, bien que ne parlant pas beaucoup en anglais, s'efforçait de communiquer avec nous grâce aux traducteurs. Bref, une perle dans notre parcours!

Très belle maison pittoresque implantée dans un endroit calme, mais les prestations ne sont pas du tout à la hauteur des prix affichés. La note Expédia est pour moi largement galvaudée.
