We've just returned from ten nights at The Ottoman Palace Hotel for a walking and relaxing holiday. Jon and Sue are fantastic hosts, who work hard to make sure that their guests get the most out of their holiday. They know the area very well and suggest walks for all abilities, from good knees to bad knees! Fico masterminds the... More

We stayed at the Ottoman Palace hotel from April 12 till April 19, 2012. If you like to walk and discover spectacular sites, nature as well as history, don't hesitate. This is the place to be. We enjoyed more specifically the way our hosts receive and guide their guests, the company of the other guests, the good food (we are... More

Jon and Sue go out of their way to fit the hotel schedule to your wants over the holiday. We had a lovely November hiking trip in 2011 (sorry Jon it's taken me so long to get a review up!). As Jon says November is the best time to go. It is also pomegranate harvest season - nothing like wild... More

We were lucky to find this hotel when we were searching in Google for our hiking holidays for the Lycian Way. It is the perfect place for an organized week of hiking in the beautiful Turkish coast. The walks are well described and marked by Jon and transfer/lunch packages are provided. There are some challenging tracks, but also easier walks... More

We got all three with knobs on! From the start the vibe was relaxed and friendly. Although it was end of season Jon and Sue couldn't have... More

We were lucky to fing this hotel when we were researching the Lycian way walk. It suited us as we did not want to to do the walk in a continues way but wanted to walk it in sections. Staying in one hotel also suited us rather than packing bags every day. We contacted Jon and Sue by e mail... More

We first visited the Ottoman Palace in May 2009, having chosen it because we were keen to walk the eastern sections of the Lycian Way. From the personal welcome at Antalya airport by Jon, who bought us a celebratory arrival beer after our 2 hour delayed flight, it was clear that this would be no ordinary holiday. We reached the...

We stayed at the Ottoman Palace Hotel on a walking holiday booked through World Walks. Jon and Sue are friendly hosts and have created a convivial atmosphere. The hotel is ideally placed for walking parts of the Lycian Way, and Jon and Sue’s transport arrangements each day worked very well for what we wanted to do. Jon is very knowledgeable... More
