Olympos Lodge

It was a place we wanted to visit for years. We had an experience that was definitely told and matched my expectations. On the more than an hour’s journey from Antalya, we found a place to stay in a very special ecosystem unlike Turkey’s. As if in a tropical forest, bamboo, various trees, kois in a small pond, chickens, ducks gave us another landscape. Under the management of Mr. Muslim and Mr. Murat, Mr. Onur, Mr. Mahmut and the full staff showed great hospitality. Even our brief stay took us away from our present life. Thank you to all those who have done so, including Mr Ziya, founder of this beautiful establishment, and who have welcomed us in the best way.

I think Antalya’s most beautiful hotel is the most beautiful place to stay in a cenote in the middle of nature, close to the beach ❤️

We had a truly shocking experience at this place. While walking with our 1.5-year-old child towards the beach in Çıralı, we found that the only way led through the hotel’s territory. I politely explained to the security guard that we were only trying to reach the sea, not to use the hotel, as carrying a toddler in arms is already very difficult. Instead of showing understanding, the guard insisted we walk a 1.5 km detour. When we tried to continue towards the beach, he reacted in the most unacceptable way possible — he ran to get a shepherd dog and began to threaten my wife, who was holding our baby in her arms. Even the dog seemed confused, looking at him as if he was crazy. This was disgraceful and dangerous. In Turkey, access to the sea cannot be denied by law, and yet here we were — a family with a small child — facing intimidation and aggression. My wife had to scream for help, and the guard calmed down only when I started calling the police. Shame on Olympos Lodge Hotel for employing such a person.
