Ali's pension, 2nd floor room 5

A bit of a hike from the otogar, this pension was a drop in value for money from Pammukule, but pension prices on the island are not negotiable – here you take what you get. However, once again, it's the pension owners who lifted the stay from ordinary to excellent. Birsen and her family are very hospitable and friendly, and run their place with good humour. Tasty homemade dinners are offered at reasonable prices. We had a room with a small view of the lake; it was clean and simple, although felt a little cramped (triple room with awkward layout). There is wireless access.
View: Road and lake
Bathroom: Private, basically a wet room because the shower went everywhere. The toilet seat was padded for extra luxury (slightly disconcerting on the first 'sit-down').
Cost: 50 YTL inc breakfast
Recommended: Yes
