Pensions Selenes

Once again we are back to enjoy the superb hospitality Selenes Pansiyon offers. We keep coming back here because the food never disappoints, whether it's breakfast or dinner the quality is always superb and the ingredients are fresh and local. There is a wealth of local history with new archaeology emerging every time we come. The walking in the hills around and behind the village is fantastic whether you are here in the Spring or the Autumn. There is always a superb selection of bird life to see, even in the Autumn. Within a couple of hours of this location are numerous important and fascinating archeological sites. I would suggest that when you book the Pansiyon, enquire about day trips to places like Prime or Miletus, you can even go as far as Ephesus. This location is perfect as a base for a 4 or 5 day visit far away from crowds. ||We will be back 😁😁😁😁

We didn’t stay at the pension but had breakfast there (Menemen - that was undercooked with the cheapest bread - for 250 tl - like in Izmir) and took a boat trip which cost 200tl/person with around 25-30 ppl on the boat (while a private boat is 2000tl) and that wasn’t a trip coz we only went to one place, a monastery to which you can actually walk on foot with not a single shade where the capitán left us for 1 hr. It was hot, unpleasant and definitely was not worth even 200 tl.

We spent two nights at Salinas Pension on our way from Bodrum Airport to kusadasi, hoping to soak in a different side of Turkish tourism—something quieter, more soulful, and free from the high-rise bustle. This place delivered in every way. Nestled in a stunning setting, it felt like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. The warmth of the hospitality was unforgettable, and the breakfasts each morning were a real highlight. Just a short stroll—no more than 150 yards—led us to a peaceful beach where we swam in the warm waters under the morning sun. A magical detour that left us wishing we had stayed longer.

Our family loves Selenes b&b! It's like staying at home, thanks to care of Tamer and his family. The rooms have everything one needs. The views on the lake are amazing. Breakfasts are lavish, home-style cooked, and the produce is always fresh and delicious. We are trying to visit Selenes each time we come to Turkey

Super friendly owners / staff. Bungalow would do well with a face lift and a pair of chairs on the porch. Dinner was good, but, it's the second most expensive dinner I've had in Turkey and it was not the second best dinner I've had... My experience, nice but a bit overprices.

i stayed there for 4 nights in september, the room had a clean bathroom and air conditioning, i paid for the half pansiyon, breakfasts were great, they served eggs, olives, cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers also fresh fruits and dryed fruits, home made jams an butter, plus unlimited amount of tea and coffee, i shouldn't forget about the home made pastries :), dinners were wonderful too, i had mainly fresh fish from the Bafa Lake as main course and fresh salad to go with it and as starter they served tasty alive oil traditional mezes which was perfect for me! but, if you dont like fish, they are happy to serve you other dishes from the menu which can be chicken, lamb or beef! if you are a vegetarian, i am sure you will be happy enough with those olive oil dishes. the food is cooked and served by the lady that works for the pansiyon, the place is owned by 2 brothers that were born there, the younger brother who is also a captain lives there with his wife and 2 cute sons, both of the brothers are usually there and very helpful, they can speak english and they can give you information about the history of the place and about the walking tours you can do there, the place is only 50 meters a way from the Bafa Lake and if you want to have a tour on the lake, they arrange it for you! i also have to mention about the wonderful lake view of the place which made those meals even more delicious for me! they do serve alcoholic beverages too, i enjoyed drinking the West Anatolian wine. i enjoyed my stay very much and i look forward to my next visit! thank you all so much for making my stay beautiful.

Sadly in response to the country's inflation some establishments sink whilst others up their game. I was sorely disappointed at every level. We had a last minute visit to the area and stayed one night. The famous turkish hospitality was amiss. The rooms are average - ours had sweaty smelly pillows and the ac made such a racket it was best not to switch it on. Food was very average but with Istanbul prices. Suffice to say I wouldn't choose to stay here again and I wouldn't recommend it to my friends.

Very nice and cozy family owned small hotel. I spent 3 nights and 4 days there. They are also very good and local guides and the first hoteliers in the village. They are also ecologically concerned people, and you can learn more about the area and its problems on a friendly evening chat. It is near nowhere fancy, but rather cozy, decent, calm and clean.
