Fodor's Expert Review Happy Caretta
Kaunos Sok., Dalyan, Mugla, 48600, Turkey Fodor's Choice
This modest, family-run hotel is in a shady garden on the banks of the Dalyan River, with breathtaking views of the ancient Kaunosian rock tombs from the large and comfortable riverside terrace, where you can enjoy a traditional breakfast or grilled fish supper in absolute tranquility. The rather cloistered rooms are simply decorated in wood and terra-cotta-style tiles with white stucco. You can swim in the river off a small jetty in front of a splendid row of cypress trees or wait for a boat to pick you up and take you to the nearby beach.
PROS
- friendly service
- nice dock area to swim with fish and the odd sea turtle
- the best view of the iconic tombs in town
CONS
- a bit hard to find
- rooms are very no-frills
- no TV or mini-fridge in rooms
