Siren Pansiyon

This pansiyon is not top luxury, nor are the rates, excellent value however. The room was very tidy and fresh, the bed was fine as was the shower. The best experience is the owner himself. When travelling in Turkiye, I try expressing myself in the local language. Remzi would have none of it. He addressed us in flawless English, and not only that; unlike somewhere else in Turkiye, his reception, instructions and information were ample and very clear, tips & tricks about Foça included. No hassle or difficulties with passports and such, as is so often is the case. I would return here in a heartbeat; I highly recommend this pansiyon for its homey feel and generous owner.

It is a super clean, lovely and peaceful place which is located in a very safe area of the city centre. The owners are always smiling and ready to provide support in any need. There is a common-shared compact kitchen on the scenic roof terrace of the building. Highly recommended for those who are looking for a tranquil and serene holiday.

We stayed 4 nights in Foca at Siren & had a lovely time. The Pension is an older building tucked into a side street very close to the harbor; post-COVID & early season we were the only guests there for most of our stay. Our top floor room was very clean with a sweet little terrace; the beds were a bit hard & could stand to be replaced; since we were pre-season there was no breakfast service but we could use the refridgerator & were fine with that after 3 weeks of big, Turkish breakfasts! The rooftop terrace was spectacular with great views & sunsets overlooking the Aegean Sea. Ramzi was just great: very helpful, excellent English, he and his Mom took good care of us. Wifi-fi was weak in our room; free parking & easy access to old Foca; took some great walks, had lovely seafood dinner & boat trip. Would most definitly visit again.

Family owned local business which we prefer to support as much as we can. They were superbly friendly and trustworthy. We have left passport and valuables in their safe without any hesitation. My wife is very keen on hygiene and she was very happy with the cleaness of the room. Siren is only 5 minutes walk from the town centre which is a great bonus. Remzi the owner helped me to find a parking for the car. We would recommend Siren Pansiyon to anyone who wants to be close the centre of the town with reasonable prices.

We enjoyed our stay a lot in Siren Pension. The guests were a mix of local families and travellers, which was nice when we were preparing breakfast in the morning and some turkish tourist explaned us how to make turkish coffee etc. The rooms were clean, the badroom was fine and the staff was very very helpfull. Maybe the price is a little bit more then. What we were used in the rest of Turkey, compared to fascilities, but we would definitly stay here again! The view from the roof terrace is very relaxing!

My first place in Foca was right on the water (much too loud) and was much too long a walk. My second was Siren, which proved so ideal I stayed in Foca an extra week. It is superbly located on a quiet side street two blocks from the water, and is run by Remzi and his staff. Remzi's English is better and more idiomatic than even mine....nuance in any language is hard...and his is terrific. He seems to be there all hours and always willing to help you find a barber, a market, a place to see or go. The breakfast is very good...served on a roof garden with views in all directions. Plenty of food, and even more goodwill. The rooms are snow white, with comfortable beds. I intend to come for longer in 2019 and will definitely stay here once again.

"Pansiyon" type of accommodation in Turkey is the most basic one, just like hostels in the EU but the rooms are private. There is no breakfast in this one, the rooms have AC, they're clean and for a relatively low price, 20€ pp. You can buy things from the markets outside and prepare quick meals at the kitchenette at the top floor, and store your stuff at the common fridge there. Great value for money accommodation.

The pension has a great terrace where they serve breakfast with a swing. There is a kitchen and a refrigerator for share. The rooms are quite clean, the bathroom is a little bit small, but efficient. There are old buildings of Foça, around the neighbourhood. It is so close to the center by foot.
