Mehmet Ali Ağa Konağı

Mehmet Ali Aga Mansion | Best places to stay on the Turquoise Coast

"Set amidst delightful walled gardens, this restored konak (mansion) – one-time home of an Ottoman lord – is about the only instance of a period building hotel anywhere on the Turkish Riviera. A painstaking restoration – ceiling details carved in walnut, ancient wall frescoes – ensures that the mansion exudes period atmosphere but never at the expense of comfort. A beautiful, and architecturally exceptional retreat, it also makes an outstanding base for exploring the largely undeveloped coves and classical ruins of the Datca Peninsula. " - Jeremy Seal
