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.
This family-run hotel overlooks the historical village of Patara and offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. The beautiful 12 km long beach of Patara is just 2 km away.

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)

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!
We absolutely loved our stay at Dardanos hotel. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the hotel is in a perfect location to explore Patara beach & ruins. The beautiful pool area, gardens and restaurant are perfect to relax in after being out in the heat.
Breakfast is lovely - plenty of fresh fruits, eggs any way you like, fresh juices and delicious coffee.
We would love to come back and would definitely recommend.
The view from the balcony is really nice, towards the mountains and a town below. The garden of the hotel is really beautiful, full of various plants that create a really cozy atmosphere of the place. Another plus is that the breakfast terrace is located just above the garden, so you can enjoy this nice place even more. The breakfast is good, one of the few hotels I've visited in Turkey that serve delicious cookies :)
It was a nice family accommodation with friendly and peaceful atmosphere. We liked the location, just above the centre of the village, with a nice view (partial sea view). It was closer to the Patara beach then many other accommodations in Gelemiş and in a walkable distance. We liked the garden around, especially the grapevine with delicious grapes that we were offred to take many times.
Nice cozy location with excellent view and clean house. Enjoyed the pool and the Host was excellent in answering any Qs or needs. Will visit again. You can drive around and discover many beaches all the way to Antalia!!!! Many restaurants close to the Villa and the kitchen was fully equipped!!!! Many thanks for sharing your property with us!!!!
Great location in a small town near Patara beach and dunes. We liked the breakfast very much and the terrace where it was served is beautiful. Markets and restaurants are very close and offer good prices. There is a fridge and kettle on the first floor if you need it. Free and fast wifi, laundry service for a reasonable fee.
The two best aspects were;
1. The staff - absolutely fantastic! An asset to this hotel, from the front desk to to the housekeeper.. all hard working and very helpful and obliging. A special thank you to Tulay and Ilkay Basak. You made our stay memorable.
2
The pool. A lovely large pool in a lovelu setting.
We had superior bungalow which was very nice, comfortable and clean. It seems that basic bungalows as well as camping ground is nice. It has great location, right in the centre of small Patara. Breakfast is great! Staff is extremely friendly. The do speak English, French, Turkish...
Very relaxed and peaceful in the mids of olive groves, after the chaos of Oludeniz a very welcome change. Nice pool, great vistas, right next to the ancient Patara archaeological site. Simple yet satisfying breakfast with home made fruit jams, olives, fresh bread and veggies
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 Manager (Bekir) and staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful making our stay in Patara very memorable. Bekir also helped out with arranging ad hoc transport requests. I look forward to going back some time.
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.

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.
