Travelling outside of the traditional holiday season provides a rich and varied selection of experiences that are guaranteed to reward the curious traveller.
In Autumn beach days can be combined with days exploring the small rural villages in the hills.
It is the season for olives, pomegranate and grapes.
The sea is still warm, the sun gives s golden glow and life moves at a slower pace.

We believe that drinking water should be freely available for everyone.
More often than not, it is not advisable in Turkey to drink water from the tap, unless it has been filtered.

Here at the hotel Patara viewpoint we offer our guests access to filtered drinking water from water coolers around the hotel.
This is free and is available 24/7.
This is not only far cheaper than buying a new bottle of water every time you need to rehydrate, but it is also much more environmentally friendly.
Since we introduced this service a few years ago, we have seen a significant drop in the number of bottles that we have to throw away.
İf you have a 'water bottle' that you can squeeze into your luggage, please bring it with you.
Not only will you be helping the environment but you will also be saving money and if you have a bottle that keeps the contents cool, you will have chilled water throughout the day. Win! Win!
Plastic bottles get hot so quickly!!

We do however have the usual still and sparkling water available for purchase for those of you who prefer that. This is kept chilled in our fridges and a purchase added to your tab.

Summers are hot! 🌞☀️
Stay hydrated 🥛🍶🍉

We all need time to unwind, relax and recharge.
Patara is the perfect place to do this. A small, laid back, unpretentious village with a handful of lokantas, cafes, bars and small shops.
