Akyaka — known in antiquity as "Idyma" — is where Halikarnas Balıkçısı's "Blue Voyage" begins. Boats still leave the same quiet shore for the same quiet coves, the same thyme-scented islands.
A bright, warm-toned room designed for couples. Comfortable double bed, private bathroom and modern amenities throughout.
A spacious family room — perfect for small families or groups. A double bed plus an additional single, with extra seating space.
