Flower Pension Hotel

What a perfect way to end our six-day trek on the Lycian Way.  The rooms were clean and spacious and the staff were so friendly and helpful.  Absolutely delicious dinner and a lovely breakfast too.  I wish we could have stayed for an extra night to make use of the beautiful pool.

Attractive small hotel with pretty pool, delicious breakfasts and friendly host and staff.

We stayed at Flower Pension in Patara for two nights and loved it! It’s a lovely family-run place — everyone was kind and welcoming. Our room, with its blue and white decor, had a peaceful, seaside vibe. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the breakfast was delicious. Highly recommended — and we’d definitely stay here again!

After two years with the pandemic, it is so good to be back.

Another amazing experience with amazing friends, old and new.

Time goes by too fast, but there's always next year.

Hopefully will be able to fit a couple of visits in then......

We stayed for 2 days here. What i can say, i would stay longer here. Very positive and supportive personnel, wonderful turkish breakfasts, clean rooms and (it’s important) very clean, large bathrooms. 

We stayed here for a weekend in the room for three. And for this money did not expect much. But our scepticism has gone fast. First of all is the assist of owner. He allowed us with early accommodations and late check out. 
Second is the clean room and even more modern and clean bathroom. 
Third is nourishing and taste breakfast with variety of appetizers which is included in the price. 

A comfortable, family run place with a great host. The host picked us up when our hike from Xanthos ran longer than expected. He welcomed us and made sure we settled in with everything we needed. The next day we had a great breakfast and he gave us great tips for planning the next leg of our hike.

Brilliant value for money: very clean, all the amenities (air con, clean pool), wholesome breakfast and delightful, charming hosts. Our car battery ran flat; Bekir and family were there by our side to help us out. They are very professional but also maintain a friendly, familiar atmosphere. Highly recommend. 

What can I say that hasn't already been said?

My fourth visit in around eighteen months.

Even though this time I was traveling on my own without my daughter and well out of season, it was still an amazing experience.

Arrived on Boxing Day and stayed through New Year until the 4th January 2020.

Bekir, Bayram and their families, as always, welcomed me with open arms.

Other than a handful of backpackers spending the night, for most of my eight day stay, I was their only guest.

The weather ranged from a very mild 17 degrees on sunny days to a chilly 6 degrees in the rain, with the nights colder still. Snow dusted the tops of all the surrounding mountains.

Still, the warmth extended to me by all at Flower Pension, the wonderful wood fired stoves, the numerous blankets and, of course, the ubiquitous çay helped to keep the cold at bay and made this an extremely memorable trip indeed.

Being out of season, most everything in Gelemiş is closed, other than the two small markets, two barbers, one restaurant/bar and, obviously, Flower Pension itself.

Nearby Kalkan is almost as dead, but does briefly burst back into life for a few hours during the New Year celebrations.

Traveling from Gelemiş, Kaş is a far better place to visit out of season, with its beautiful harbour, an excellent Friday market (mostly devoid of the usual tourist rubbish that is on offer in the high season!) and a smattering of shops and restaurant/bars.

For obvious reasons, the dolmuş service doesn't run from Patara beach at this time of year, but can be caught in either direction from the main road approximately 2.6km outside of Gelemiş. Services run from Kaş to Kınık via Kalkan roughly every 30 minutes.

Kalkan Bus Terminus opens up numerous other travel destinations, east towards Antalya, west towards Fethiye and north into Central Turkey. Prices are very, very competitive, but journey times can be a little long, as the buses make numerous stops en route. Still, if you are not running to a strict timetable, they can be an excellent laid-back way to experience the real Turkey.

Flower Pension offers a welcoming base for both travellers like myself or hardened backpackers walking the Lycian Way.

Be brave. Tear yourself away from that 'all inclusive' holiday and immerse yourself in the real Turkey.

My little girl is already asking if we can visit again in April......

Wonderful stay in a friendly and laid back family run pension. Food excellent, host Bekir unfailingly hospitable, helpful and humorous. Rooms plain and clean, swimming pool lovely. The family serves their own homemade produce, such as fig jam, at breakfast, and evening meals are a treat and great value. Couldn’t recommend Flower highly enough.

Warm Hospitality and a Lovely Stay

The best pension for this money

What a little gem!!

My husband and I have just spent two days in Patara Flower Pension. Could not recommend it highly enough. Family run, there is a real homely, welcoming atmosphere from all those involved. Bedroom was very comfortable with great shower. The food was plentiful and excellent. Great conversation with Beikmir. If a visit to Patara Ruins is not on your list, it should be! Pension is only 20 mins walk there and to a magnificent beach.

Walking the Lycian Way

New Year at Flower Pension, Gelemiş

Lovely family run pension

Loved staying here. Really kind, welcoming and knowledgable about the area, travelling and wildlife. Really authentic, caring, family run and owned place.
Bedroom was really clean and had a great balcony for drying towels and clothes on.
Breakfast and dinner was delicious and were spot on with our dietaries - one vegan one vegetarian. They also had lots of home grow fruit and veg.
Would recommend to anyone, they were always smiling as were we.

Perfect stop on the Lycian Way

This is our third stay at Flower Pension in just over 12 months and we are already planning our next visit. This time and the last I have travelled here with just my 9 year old daughter.
If you are looking for somewhere quiet and traditional where you can just unwind and forget all of your troubles, it is hard to imagine a more beautiful location.
Bekir is so welcoming, he makes coming to Gelemiş feel more like visiting old friends than coming away on holiday.
My daughter is vegan and ordering food in Turkey can sometimes be a struggle, but Bayram always cooks separately for her so this has never been a problem during our stays at Flower Pension.
The beach is half an hour from the pension on foot, but what a walk! About a third of the way down you are confronted by the monumental arches at the entrance to the ancient city of Patara, birth place of St. Nicholas, which for a very small charge you are free to explore. Alternatively, you can opt to just buy a beach pass that allows you multiple visits, again for a very modest fee.
Patara beach is golden sand with gently breaking waves and the council-run cafe has full facilities and excellent well-priced drinks and food.
Gelemiş, also referred to as Patara village, has a few quiet restaurant/bars where you can relax, but thankfully no high-pressure shopkeepers, nightclubs or banging music!
Travelling a little further afield, we would strongly recommend visiting Kalkan and Kaş, which are both lovely harbour towns with winding cobbled streets lined with small boutique shops, which slowly descend down to the waterfronts. Here can be found various restaurants that offer excellent seafood and traditional Turkish dishes, although prices are a little higher than in Gelemiş.
Kalkan beach is relatively small, with pebbles rather than sand. We actually prefer this, as we always feel a little grubby when we visit a sand beach. The sea here is full of fish that you can swim amongst. Again, there is a council-run cafe with full facilities including showers.
Alternatively, if you speak to Bekir, various trips can be arranged, both by land and sea, for a very good price.
Getting around on a day to day basis is easy and cheap, if you stick to using the local dolmuş services. A good tip is to take a photo of the timetables, if you can find them posted somewhere. Failing that, the services are pretty regular throughout the day, running every hour or half hour depending on the route. Avoid using taxis wherever possible, as these are expensive.
A lot of the visiting tourists in Gelemiş are backpackers, who come from all over the world to walk the Lycian Way. If this is your thing, Flower Pension is an excellent base and Bekir is always keen to pass on his knowledge of the best routes and places to visit along the way.
Whatever you were thinking of doing for your next vacation, check out Gelemiş and Flower Pension first!

Third visit in just over twelve months!

We spent one night at the Flower Pension. The welcome from the owners was very warm and friendly, they did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. The dining room is wonderful, with a wood burning stove, a good collection of books and a limitless supply of tea - just what we needed after walking the Lycian Way all day. The food was wonderful, home cooked Turkish specialities. The family ate in the dining room with us, giving us a taste of Turkish life.

One of our party had a walking injury, the owner was very attentive, and gave her a tube of cream to take with her, really appreciated.

Thank you for a lovely stay.
