Having never been to Turkey before, we didn't know what to expect but in short, it was perfect. Beydagi Konak means 'mountain house' in Turkish and it was exactly that. It was a fantastic little sun spot overlooked by gorgeous mountains. The couple who run the hotel are the nicest couple ever and could not have made us feel more at home. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with good shower facilities and the breakfast every day was delicious! The poolside is really relaxing surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants which make you feel like you're in more tropical surroundings. We spent many a happy afternoon lazing there with an Efes (Turkish beer) and snacks after mornings spend exploring or walking. Goynuk itself is small but friendly and the hotel has perfect access to Canyon where you can enjoy an idyllic mountain walk for a few hours. It's easy as well to hire a car and venture along the coast roads. We did that for a few days and visited some historical ruins, saw the sites in Demre - and (my favourite) visited Cirali - the fire mountain. For food, we ate out every night and enjoyed the local food. I'd recommend going to smaller places as the service and quality is better. Generally the food and drink is really good value - just avoid Kebabi Aspava in Goynuk and Aspava Kemer - they are overpriced!
Overall, we spent ten days enjoying this fantastic new place. - high recommended!!
