Kerpe Kaptan Pansiyon

Kerpe Kaptan Pansiyon

8/10 Good
"Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Very little English ( we have little Turkish 😃) but we managed fine with google translate. Unit is above the restaurant and very cute. Main shower rose didn’t work ( hand held shower did) and the shower was missing a door but just ok for a bathroom. Unit had a great balcony though looking over the bay and a magnificent view when the sun is out. Hotel positioned in probably the best little esplanade of restaurants and beach in the whole area. The whole area though of Kerpe, Kefken, Cebeci is pretty run down and appears in rapid decline. Perhaps a destination during the summer for locals but not international travellers, unless passing though to other parts east."
