Comfortable hotel, spacious rooms (we stayed at a family number), quiet location but very close to all amenities (i.e. shops etc). About 7 min drive from Patara beach.
The breakfast though was a bit too simple.

We have stayed at the Pataros hotel before, several times, and love the fact it hasn't changed. The staff are amazing, as is the food, and it is such a beautiful location. We didn't want to leave.

We had a wonderful stay in Patara ! The host family was very welcoming and caring, with a delicious homemade breakfast in the morning. The hotel is comfortable, quiet and peaceful, and we had a beautiful view of the sea from our room. I only wish we could have stayed longer !

The hotel was really lovely - good size, clean rooms with little balconies to sit out on and drying lines and pegs. Decent bathrooms with hot water, large towels and toiletries - spotlessly clean. Comfy beds. The swimming pool is proper swimming size and the lounging area is secluded. The bar area is delightful and the buffet breakfast delicious with lots of variety. The hotel has more of a ‘boutique’ vibe than the pictures suggest. The best thing though is the manager and team. They all care so much and nothing is too much trouble. I hurt my ankle walking the Lycian Way so they arranged a car to pick us up, moved our rooms to bottom floor, sorted an ice pack etc. We were comfy in the bar one night (in our fave spot), so a local restaurant brought us food over. Proper customer service - not OTT or too present - we just felt safe and looked after. Highly recommend. ( the local village and local cafes/restaurants all super lovely too)
This family-run pension is set in a peaceful area of Patara village, surrounded by the hills, olive trees and pine forests.

Very nice little family-owned place, we were the only guests
. Only one of the owners spoke english, but we felt welcome. Nice garden with chicken running around. Delicious fresh homemade bread for breakfast. The shower stopped working, but they fixed it right away. Would come back!

Visited a couple of times before. Village restaurants not so good as previously. Simbar charging more than in Kalkan for cocktails! Village generally very quiet this time, no buzz, however first time visiting in Sept, which may account for this. Bus timetable not worth publishing as they come when they want and don't always go to the bus station.

Despite its popularity, Patara remains a traditional Turkish village. This is because it is protected for both archaeological and nature reasons. Turtles nest here. We visit regularly. It is all accessible on foot but if it's very hot or you have trouble walking any distance, it is best to get the dolmus to the beach. Yes, you have to pay to enter the beach but this is because it is part of an archaeological site. The beach was very, very crowded on a hot summer weekend (avoid in high season if you don't like crowds) but it is so long it's easy to find space to sit and swim. Patara is very convenient for visits to other sites like Xanthos and Letoon.

Patara must be the one of the most perfect holiday destinations. An enormous, world class beach which means it is never crowded.
In addition you walk past or through the excavated Lycian and Roman ruins of the ancient port city - amazing!
And, of course, the wonderful generosity and good nature of the locals.

The village was small and very chilled with no hassle.
The village was small and very chilled with no hassle. I'm a single Mum and went with my 11 year old daughter and it was such a safe environment. The people were really helpful and friendly. It actually reminded me a bit of Guatemala, bit of a hippy laid back vibe, no McDonalds etc in sight! The beach was amazing, great waves for body boarding and miles of golden sand with only one beach restaurant, so unspoilt! Surrounded by ruins and a laying ground for turtles has ensured Patara beach isn't flooded with shops, beach bars etc, so 10 miles of loveliness. Best beach I've ever been to in Europe easily... Food in Patara is really affordable, booze a bit more (Muslim country) but fine. Some restaurants don't sell booze but plenty do! Spent so much less this holiday than in Greece. I never usually go to the same place twice but would seriously consider returning to Patara. Loved it!
Kazem and Ayse have created a very friendly atmosphere during our stay and have helped us with many valuable tips. The room was very spacious and equipped with everything we needed. Also the cleanliness of the room, especially the bathroom which is equipped with a shower cabin, was outstanding. The breakfast comes with hearty and sweet options and includes homemade or homegrown products. The hosts were really flexible with breakfast times. If you are too lazy to go to the beach, you can relax at the pretty pool.
- Very well maintained green area with a beautiful view of the pool and palm trees from the balcony. The rooms are clean and tidy. Good wi-fi.
- Delicious breakfasts, there are always fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables.
- Attentive host and his family are always ready to help solve any problems.
- A gorgeous sandy beach, which can be reached in several ways. In the evening, you can go to the sand dunes and admire the sunset.
Thank you for your hospitality, we enjoyed everything! Highly recommended!
This was probably one of our favorite places we stayed in Turkey and we stayed at all places we rated at least a 9 out of 10. The staff is incredibly friendly and the small bungalow hotel style rooms are awesome. You have your own front porch area and even a clothes line to hang clothes. There are food gardens all around the rooms. The restaurant here is AMAZING. There are a few parking spots on the hotel property If you’re driving. I highly recommend this hotel!
The staff was very helpfull and everyone was really nice ☺️
The breakfast was good.
They have a free shuttle service to the beach at 11:00am and they get you back from the beach at 4:30 pm, you'll just have to pay for the entrance of the patara beach. (in taxi you have to pay 50tl one way)
They serve tea and cake at 05:00pm.
Plus they helped me to change money.
The black cat was too cute ☺️
Staff were great. We were warmly welcomed by the manager Hasan who helped us with checking in. Merve is great too and the pool
boy as well (forgot to ask his name) and of course Hatice who is a great cook. We had all of our meals at the hotel thanks to Hatice. She rocks! everyone else was great and we loved the whole vibe and atmosphere there.
We stayed at the Dardanos Hotel for x3 nights and couldn’t fault the hotel. Arif was such an accommodating host, happy to spend time to recommend things to do or places to go, and went out of his way to help you organise things. Swimming pool area was great, rooms were a decent size and clean, and breakfast was great.
This was our favorite place to stay in Turkey. The couple that run it are so warm and giving. The location is perfect, nature all around and a great beach 10 minutes away. The town has everything you need great restaurants and very friendly locals! The room and property are great and watch out the dog steals hearts….!
The staff is extremely responsive! They always strive to assist, are kind, and speak English. We missed breakfast and went downstairs at 11 a.m. to check out of the hotel. However, they still provided us with a meal.
The hotel is conveniently located near the ruins of Patara.
This is a very good budget option in Patara. The accommodation is basic, but clean and everything works (including aircon). The staff was very friendly, the location was fine, and the fairly basic breakfast was improved with fresh-baked bazlama bread.
The best accomodation in Patara, the pool and the breakfast area are perfect,not even mentioning the delicious breakfast! The host and his family are very kind, authentic Turkish hospitality. Definitely gonna come back again 👌
The only moment we were satisfied with our holiday was Patara beach. I would like to say this for those who do not know; Since Patara beach is a historical place, beach entrance and sunbeds / umbrellas are always charged.
I liked how well equipped and clean it was. They also have the best Turkish breakfast I have ever had (I've had a lot). The room was comfortable and the staff was friendly. I would stay here again in the future.
Great staff, friendly and helpful (specially Dilara) doing their best to make your stay pleasant and comfortable, good location calm and windy for a hot summer, super clean boutique hotel.
The host is German, who can speak good English. The pool is very clean and warm, overlooking the valley. It is in Patara town, convenient to visit both Patara ancient city and the beach.
The hotel is located in a small town near patara beach, its like a little piece of heaven. The garden and pool area are unique and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Very well located. In the center of Patara. And not too far from the beach.
Quiet with a nice restaurant offering delicious Turkish food.
People very friendly!!!
