Gultepe Apartments, where I spent 10 nights, is a hidden gem. It is owned, managed and operated by three friendly, helpful, and pleasant brothers, who speak English and German. One of them stays there overnight in a private unit, so it is very safe. They accommodated my specific requests (such as airport pickup/drop off, tour and other local info; exchanging Euros â better rates than nearby; laundry; late departure), and prepared delicious daily breakfasts with coffee/tea.
There are 10 units in two buildings. My well-lit upper floor unit had a balcony overlooking the swimming pool and entrance, and included a spacious living room with a large wardrobe, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Sheets and towels were replaced every few days or upon request. There are fruit trees, flowers, and a small garden.
The dinners that I had there (chicken filet with greens; fish and chips) were well prepared and delicious. There is a bar area near the pool, and alcoholic and other beverages are reasonably priced.
The property is only a few minutes walk to Ladies Beach and the promenade along the sea with its restaurants, bars, stores, etc⊠Carrefour, BIM and small food and other stores are close by. Shared mini-buses (Dolmus) can be accessed a few minutes walk toward the main road; taxis at one end of the beach or by request.
