We stay regularly at Sedir. We travel to other very beautiful countries but nothing compares to the hospitality at Sedir with it's stunning views and wonderful pool.. The food is the freshest in Dalyan as most vegetables come from their lovely garden.. If you like fish ask Baki, if its not truely fresh he wont purchase any... infact all the food served is of the highest quality.. the yogurt is made by Feliz and the butter from the local farm. This year they have chickens.. how fresh do you like your eggs? try them in their menemem it's the best..
The gardens are beautiful, at one end they have a lovely tree house blessed with a delicious breeze, it has Turkish style sofa beds, ideal for an after lunch nap.
Before you make any arrangements for trips take advantage of Baki's knowledge. he will go out of his way to make your stay in Dalyan one of your best Turkish experiences.
This July we (Sedir's guests) tried somthing different.. a trip to Fethiye fish market in the evening.. fab experience lovely food and we were serenaded by the gypsys they are excellent musicians ..Have a lovely holiday.. might see you in September......

We've just returned from Sedir and were very sad to leave indeed! Saying goodbye to the lovely Tarhan family was quite difficult as they were such a warm family, who engage with you when you want them to but give you lots of space too, making people feel very welcome and relaxed. Our boys (7 and 9) were delighted by the two teenage sons, who played with them and made them feel special. The place is beautiful, set with a backdrop of wonderful mountains and trees and a permanent blue sky. If you like wildlfe, you are very likely to spot the odd stork flying around, or bats coming home to roost, and interesting to see the turtles at the local beach, which, by the way is beautiful and untouched, with sufficient facilities to be able to stay all day.
It would be so easy to just stay around the pool all day and evening, (running up a huge bar bill, which we did!) although there are lots of trips to do, as well as other restaurants to visit in the town. There is plenty of opportunity to be sociable if you want to be, but also easy to keep to yourself as it is peaceful and uncrowded.
The boys want to go back next year and have declared it their favourite holiday ever!

Dear Feliz and Baki,
My family and I would like to say that our holiday was outstanding.
Having traveled to many parts of the world and I can honestly say our stay with you was one of the best. You and your family and not forgetting your staff made us feel really welcome, you hospitality was second to none.
I will most certainly recommend that any one wanting to visit Turkey stay at Sedir.
You and your family are truly great ambassadors for Turkey.
I look forward to our next meeting.
Kind regards
Your friend

Dear Filiz Hanim and Baki Bey,
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated the warm welcome and hospitality you provided at Sedir in late July. It was a truly wonderful and restful experience which I continue to think back upon wistfully. Everything was ideal, from the immaculate rooms to the bucolic surroundings to the delicious meals. What impressed me most was your attention to detail, as nothing escaped your notice. (I still vividly recall the artfully cut cheese and cucumbers at the breakfast buffet!) That, combined with your sincere hospitality made for an altogether relaxing, highly enjoyable getaway.
Many thanks, and I hope to see you in future years.
