Leytur Hotel

For a friendly stay in the foothills of the mountains, the Leytur Hotel in Ovacik is a great pick. This family-run spot is just 550m from the resort centre and 6.7km from Olu Deniz Beach, so you’re well placed for exploring or beach-hopping. Expect a warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere and helpful hosts who go the extra mile.

There’s a good-sized outdoor pool, a poolside snack bar for drinks and light bites, and an à la carte restaurant serving local and international favourites – with highchairs available for younger diners. Kids will love the playground, and there’s pool table and darts for a bit of friendly competition. In the evenings, things stay low-key, with occasional entertainment like Turkish nights and barbecues bringing a taste of local culture.

Rooms are simple and comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Each one comes with a flat screen TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a hairdryer, and a private balcony. You’ll also have a bathroom with a shower, and a daily cleaning service to keep things fresh. Safety deposit boxes are available to hire (payable locally).
