we had a room on looking out on the road, a bit of traffic in the morining but supportable. friendly staff, free internet access, the hotel restaurant is correct. We only spent one night, the room was clean, comfortable, fairly basic, but for 30€ the night for 2 was good value. Excellent beach, what a surprise to drive past the... more

Golden Pension sits at the main crossroads of quiet little Patara, with backside rooms that have balconies and are quiet and peaceful. Rooms are nicely furnished, with comfortable beds that feature good mosquito nets, a necessity in Patara. There's an attached restaurant with exceptional food at reasonable prices, and the included breakfast makes the $30-a-double price very reasonable indeed. The... more

The Golden Pension is in the centre of Gelemis, a lovely place to stay. To get to the beach, you pass through ancient Patara. The beach is about 20km long with sand dunes and was practically deserted when we were there. After our swim, in November, I think we could have walked for 10 km North along the beach without... more

We stayed in the Golden Pension for one month sept/oct 08. Arif and his family looked after us and we felt part of his family. The rooms were very clean and towels and linen were changed at least twice a week. The bathroom is like a wet room and the shower always had hot water and plenty of pressure. The... more

Wow, what a find! If you’re looking for a cheap beach holiday in totally unspoilt surroundings, this is the place to come. Situated a mile or so from the 18km beach and classical ruins, the Golden Pension sits at the centre of a very quiet village (Gelemis/Patara). My partner and I stayed at the Golden Pension for one week, booking... more

I was recommended by a colleague to visit Patara Turkey and stay at the Golden Pension, and can I just say what a fantastic trip and pension it was! I visited with my now fiance (he arranged for the pension to drive us up to the sand dunes at sunset with a bottle of wine overlooking the Mediterranean to propose)... more

Stayed 3 nights at the Golden Pension, which is owned by the current mayor of Patara. The hotel was apparently rennovated not too long ago and overally it's very clean and definitely adequate. It's a pension, so it's not quite a hotel. The room is basic, but decent size, clean, and the bed is comfortable. Totally adequate in my opinion,... more

We arrived in Patara not expecting anything. We had been travelling for 3/4 weeks around Turkey and decided we needed a break from all the wonderful ruins. Patara (and Golden Penison) was in our Lonely Planet guide book, and the thought of an 18km long beach was just paradise! We decided that we had definitly had the right choice to... more

Since 1992 I spend my summer holidays in turkey and I have visited a lot of differed big and small villages there but since 1996 I spend my holidays in Patara. If you want to have party every evening a lot of trouble and sometimes disputes with outer people go to Marmaris, Alany, Bodrum……. But don`t come to Patara. Here... more
