We initially planned to stay for just one night, but it was so enjoyable that we extended our stay by another night during our extensive trip along Turkey’s west and south coast. We have two young daughters, aged 2 and 3, and they absolutely loved it. The front yard with the hammock and the beach were perfect for them. The staff was also very friendly with the kids. To address something I read in another review: there is a stream behind the hotel where frogs croak at night. However, it’s not like there are frogs everywhere (in case that might bother you); we didn’t see any during our stay. The breakfast was also good, and the restaurant food pleasantly surprised us. Thank you very much, Marvel Tree Hotel.
To begin with, I enjoyed my time here and I'm leaving with a sense of happiness. However, there are a few drawbacks that I would like to mention. Firstly, in comparison to 10 years ago, people seem to be more environmentally conscious and sensitive, which unfortunately highlights the insufficient number of staff members. Caravanners are given very limited space both in terms of the area they are allocated and the background space. Although the toilets are clean, they are quite small. There are a few other areas that could be improved upon as well. During our stay, we experienced an overflow in the manhole and it took two days for the sewage truck to arrive, resulting in an unpleasant smell. It seems like the area has been neglected to some extent. With just a little effort from the Municipality, this place could be made much more comfortable within a week. A slight rearrangement of the tents and parking spaces would greatly enhance this place. I won't go into detail about the positives, but I would like to commend the municipality of Bozyazı. It would be wonderful if there were campsites not only by the sea, but also in the plateaus. I believe that each city should increase the number of such places according to its size.
This is a nice little spot with decent establishments for the area. Don't set your expectations too high and you won't be let down.
Upon arriving at Tekmen's center, one must take the main road behind and navigate through the side roads to reach the mountain's peak. Following the road up to the electricity pole, which no longer holds a transformer, leads to a lengthy path that descends towards the valley on the left. Any right turns will lead to a dead end and the fire road does not connect to the valley. The route is moderately challenging, covering an estimated distance of 2 kilometers one way. Upon reaching the valley in the evening, I was the sole inhabitant and opted to stay overnight in a tent. The serene surroundings and crystal-clear waters made for a tranquil experience that I would gladly repeat. Ample wood is available for a campfire, but caution is advised.
