Grenadine Lodge

I have just come back from teaching a yoga retreat at Grenadine Lodge, and I couldn't recommend it more highly. Tranquil and beautifully landscaped gardens, comfortable and clean rooms, all set around a central saltwater pool (deliciously cool and so lovely not to have chemicals in!), a lovely bar serving fresh pomegranate juice, other drinks and a great bar menu for smaller snacks or delicious meals, all freshly prepared and showing off Turkish cuisine. The breakfast and evening meals in the adjacent restaurant are buffet style, abundant and consistently excellent. We had veggie, which was extremely varied and tasty, but you can also have fresh fish and meat cooked to order. The staff make your stay extra special: always smiling, kind and on hand to help, they felt like family by the end of the week. I miss them and Grenadine Lodge already and can't wait to return for another yoga retreat next year. The yoga space is covered but open, overlooking pomegranate fields. Well equipped and quiet. Dalyan itself is absolutely beautiful, with so much bird watching, turtles that come up to your riverside restaurant to eat your scraps, to endless cats and kittens; whether you want unspoilt sandy beaches and turtle sanctuary, archeological and historical richness, spice bazaars, boat trips to swim in secluded, blue seas (take your snorkelling gear!) or peace under starry skies.

Grenadine Lodge is a lovely peaceful haven with extra friendly staff and clean and spacious rooms. The food is delicious and the well run bar means you can relax with a drink day or night! Activities around Dalyan can be organised at reception and I would recommend the Hamman and the massage service offered. Free bike use makes it easy to get around. I hope to be back soon…..

If you're looking for a peaceful rest in beautiful surroundings, look no further. Grenadine Lodge is set amongst pomegranate groves and natural countryside, with spectacular views of the distant mountains. The little town of Dalyan is 20 minutes walk away (or you can use the local 'bus) and has a market every Saturday. The lodges are clean and comfortable, set near the wonderful pool, small bar and restaurant, where the food is fabulous. Aygul and her staff are welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I'm looking forward to making a 3rd visit already.
