Öztürk Pension, Olympos

Since Stanley Kubrick's "Odyssey in Space" Olympos is a mythic place among nature lovers, backpackers and all kinds of adventure-addicted people from the whole world.

Olympos has everything romantic souls are looking for: an extraordinary nature beach without big concrete buildings, a small river among ancient ruins, situated in a steep valley full of wild vegetation, scenic mountains everywhere. Due to this marvellous environment, "Downtown"-Olympos with its famous tree-houses in summer sometimes can be at bit crowdy and noisy.

Öztürk Pension is just 1 km from all that, and it is a small paradise. Mrs. Öztürk, a teacher in Ankara, is a charming lady which lets her guests feel what Turkish hospitality means. Together with her husband, she has created a half-dozen wooden bungalows with ensuite showers, all of them air-conditioned. Mrs. Öztürk prepares tasty dinners and barbeques under a wonderful mediterranean sky with millions of stars.
