Where to Stay in Turkey

Why go

A pansiyon is a small guesthouse or modest hotel, but the name alone does not promise a low price or breakfast. Apart hotels offer a kitchen and more room, especially in coastal towns around Marmara and the northern Aegean. Around Olympos, simple wooden lodging gives a different experience from a conventional hotel.

Useful to know

• Ask whether breakfast is included when comparing pansiyons.
• For a family or longer coastal stay, compare an apart hotel with separate hotel rooms.
• Check the room facilities and location rather than assuming a property type guarantees them.
