Welcome to Lindos Pension, Dalyan/Turkey!

  I have stayed here many times over the years but it had been 17 years since my last visit. Even so I felt like I'd come home as soon as... read more I arrived. This place, with its fantastic location right on the river and opposite the ancient rock tombs of Kaunos, is positively idyllic. It's impossible not to feel relaxed here!

Levent is the perfect host, and his family and staff are a delight. The rooms are basic but very comfortable and clean. The garden is beautiful and the bar area and riverside terrace are fabulous. The breakfast buffet is great and plentiful.

I really can't recommend this wonderful place highly enough.

  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

  From the moment you arrive you know you've made the right decision to stay at Lindos Pension. This place has 2 unique wow factors.
1. The owner, Levent is... read more the perfect host who will go out if his way to help his guests. I've spent many evenings enjoying his company at his lovely bar
2. The location. Got to be one of the best in Dalyan. Breakfast is taken on the terrace right opposite the Lycian tombs.

It's about a 10 minute walk into the main dalyan area but there are restaurants on the walk into town. The rooms are clean with excellent air con and the WiFi is very good. No wonder I keep returning here.

  owner meets you explains things area ect speaks great english as my turksih is basic.

its called a pension basically a small chalet style room with bed and a... read more shower room all you need really.

  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.

  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

  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.

  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.

  Really lovely place.... Great view of the tombs. Really nice family who own it and live there. They have lots of cats! The room was quite small but nice and... read more clean. They serve tea and cake between 5 and 6pm. I'd recommend it.

  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.
