Welcome to Lindos Pension, Dalyan/Turkey!

  I just loved this place! It was recommended to me by a friend who has visited many times, and I am so grateful.

The view from the riverside... read more terrace is just breathtaking!

I was amazed at how much there was to do in and around Dalyan. I tend to stay in a place for between 2 and 4 nights and then move on - in Dalyan, because of the Eid holiday, I stayed 6 nights, and I was busy with interesting activities and excursions every day.

Oh, and extremely reasonably-priced laundry service - I think it was 25 TL for a large load to be washed and hung out in the sunshine for you.

  Super little guest house on the river. Great view across the river to the rock tombs. Owner tries very hard to make sure you are enjoying your stay. Plenty of... read more shade, comfortable seating, and a nice bar.
Breakfast is buffet style with plenty of choice and good quality. Complimentary tea and cake every afternoon. They can arrange for the local water taxi to pick you up at the hotel jetty on route to Itztutu beach.
Only issue I have was that the room was small. However it was clean and tidy, and had a good ac unit
Plenty of restaurants/bars within a few minutes walk.

  We stayed for 2 nights and specifically wanted an accommodation that offered those stunning tomb views directly from the river and the location and view is the major selling point... read more of this place. It’s a very relaxing setting and so picturesque. I loved that you could get picked up and dropped off by the public boat from the hotel jetty. The gardens are lovely, it’s an easy walk into town, the owners and staff were friendly and welcoming, I loved that they served complimentary tea and cake in the afternoons if you were around the sun deck area, breakfast was adequate and started you off well for the day, again lovely setting to sit and drink your morning coffee with a view of the tombs, but for us the room let it down. We had an upstairs room with a view of the river and large balcony, but I felt like we were staying in someone’s wooden Wendy house. The room was just so small and cramped. If you were one person I feel it would be better, but with two suitcases and some hand luggage it was a struggle. A big chunk of the room was taken up by a large noisy fridge and we could only find one plug socket. We were only there for two nights, but had it been a longer stay and the weather any warmer I feel it would have made things a bit difficult. We also found the room to be not as clean as we would have wished as the little carpets looked like they could have done with a wash or vacuum and one morning we woke up to a tiny pile of saw dust on the floor. Upon looking up we could see a tiny hole in the wooden ceiling were more dust fell out. I’m not entirely sure what it was, but wondered at some sort of wood beetle. The views and welcome here are priceless but for us the room was the let down.

  We have just returned from our holiday in Turkey and we spent the first half at Lindos Pension. I have been to Dalayan many times over the past 18... read more years and my preferred location is on the banks of the river. This is my first stay at Lindos and we were very glad to have booked Lindos. The Pension is run by a lovely family and they create a relaxed and welcoming environment. One of the great things about staying here is the ease of stepping off the jetty at the end of the garden onto the Dolmus boat to the beach. The garden itself is a very relaxing area and swimming in the river beats any hotel swimming pool. Next time I stay I will try to get one of the larger rooms as our room was a little small for my husband and I as we always bring a lot of luggage (!), but we will definitely be back.

  This was our first stop while touring around Turkey this year , and what a perfect way to start the holiday .We were met at the hotel by a driver... read more arranged by Lindos Pension.
Levant the owner was waiting for us when we arrived late that evening.A lovely warm welcome and it was great to sit and have a few beers and a chat with him before bed time.
The rooms are clean the beds are comfortable. Turkish breakfast was lovely and so fresh sitting by the river overlooking the tombs
This is right on the river so great to just hop on the boat to the beach, but it is such a nice pension we spent the whole day there so peacefully chilling and swimming in the the river..
Town is walking distance with a great choice of bars and restaurants
Levant and his family so nice and give you a warm welcome, Lindos has a perfect setting we hope to be back one day soon and I would 100% recommend it to anyone

  Booked for fifteen nights stayed five. Setting is fabulous on the dalyan river. Watched the turtle's pop their heads up for air whilst admiring the rock tombs in the background... read more . Breakfast was also nice. We had paid for a larger room at £60 a night with a balcony. The room we got was basic with worn furniture and two beds. The shower flooded the room every time it was used. Towels old and grey. Electrical sockets hung off the wall. No kettle or any basic amenities except a small fridge. Hostel rather than bed and breakfast or hotel . Due to COVID19 the manager refused to offer room cleaning and gave me a mop, bucket and cloth. I cleaned it once before finding out that COVID19 was his excuse. Every other establishment in Dalyan had room cleaning, fresh towels etc. The outside toilets were also closed due to COVID19, as was using the canoe. Again, another excuse. The manager simply couldn't be bothered. After an evening out we attempted to buy a drink from the bar. Nope, lights out with the manager opting to spend his time next door drinking raki. So much for social distancing eh. The manager was not attentive and made little attempt to make us welcome or give any advice , history etc about the beautiful area we had come to stay. After breakfast he instead chooses to go on bike rides with his friends.... Booked for fifteen nights stayed five. Setting is fabulous on the dalyan river.

No snacks at lunch offered on the premises. Thus, after breakfast that was our lot he was off!
Despite his COVID19 concerns he never once washed the sunbeds or cleaned the decking. Aftee five days of this we moved to another establishment two minutes away as we could stand no more. More

  We have just returned from a week's stay at Lindos Pension in Dalyan. This is a place we have been visiting for over 20 years, which should give an indication... read more of how happy we are with what is offered. Lindos is set around a lovely garden, beyond which is a terrace opening onto the river. The rock tombs of Kaunos are visible directly across the water. It is a small heaven. The accommodation is simple, but clean and good. The rooms have air conditioning, comfortable beds and good showers. The terrace has lots of seating areas with plenty of shade if wanted. It is a place for relaxing and watching the world drift by. It is also where in the morning we sit to eat the generous Turkish breakfasts provided. The river is wonderful for swimming in, at times accompanied by turtles who pop their heads up and then disappear.
The quiet beauty of the spot evokes a feeling of peace and wellbeing, as does the care Lindos’ owner Levent, takes of each of his guests. He is always available to help with queries, to book boats or Haman massages, or other trips, as required. Many of his customers return year after year, as do we. We think this is a testimony to just how special it is. More

  We loved our one day stay at Lindos on 8/31 - the rooms are very clean and cool with A/C. As you walk out of the room, the smell of... read more jasmine and linden trees greet you as you walk to the dining area by the water, right across from the Caunos graves, that are lit at night. The owners are lovely people, making sure everything is taken care of. The Wi0fi is fast and the breakfast is delicious with local and homemade goods.The boats take you to the beach at request and the location is walking distance from shopping and dining. I wish I was there right now! Definitely will stay for more than a day next time.

  The only downside to Lindos Pension is that you eventually have to leave. The rooms are always clean, the bar area is very comforting and comfortable, and the river front... read more view is one of the best in Dalyan. Ideal for couples or families. They serve a very nice Turkish breakfast, and although they don’t serve food at other times or the day they do partner with some local restaurants who will deliver food that the staff will serve to you at the river front.

  This is an idyllic spot on the river - you have perfect view of the magical rock tombs.
I had a comfortable compact room with very good aircon and a... read more fine view. Wi-Fi fine.
Delicious healthy breakfast, excellent bar, lots of shady trees, swimming in the river is wonderful. Tea and cake daily at 5pm. Professional staff, tranquil and relaxed atmosphere. Own private jetty for river boats. Cats and kittens.
