"A glorious week in Cirali! I just wanted to thank you for arranging the holiday. We had a fantastic time and absolutely loved the hotel and its location. Food was delicious and the staff at the hotel and our driver for our transfers were so friendly and helpful. I loved the fact that at Bellerophon you felt like you were at home and not staying at some touristy hotel." Gail De Salis

"We're easily pleased kind of people but quite simply - as soon as we landed and made our way down towards Cirali in our pick up car, we just knew we were going to have a wonderful week. One particularly memorable experience would be getting up at the crack of dawn, taking pictures of the sun as it rose and being privileged to witness 4 baby turtles being helped out of their nest (as it was late season) and making a bid for freedom into the morning sea - amazing. We still wonder about how they got on. Also - the hospitality and food! We could go on ..." Sam Craig, UK.

"Where do I start? The landscape is stunning. Looking up at those incredible mountains from the beach was awe inspiring. I loved the beach itself with its outcrops of flowers and sea holly. The sea was clean and perfect for swimming.The food was fabulous: simple and tasty and made with local ingredients. The accommodation was fantastic: plenty of space, attractive decor, a comfortable bed and a wonderful bathroom. The best part of the whole holiday though was the peace. The loudest noises came from the birds. Marvelous!" Jane Bateman, UK.

"We all needed to relax and enjoy some sun. This holiday really delivered. The people were great, the location fantastic and my kids were really impressed that the sea was warm! The beach was just like you see on holiday programmes on TV, and think to yourself - that place doesn't really exist - it really does! Although not a private beach as such, it felt like it. Bellerophon Hotel is in the middle of a small bay and most of the other visitors to the beach stay at one end, so near the hotel it is pretty quiet. If you are looking not to do too much other than relax, read, sun bathe and swim this is ideal for you. There is not a lot "urban" to do unless you have your own transport or hire a car. No buzzing night-life (although you could brave a pitch dark walk along the beach into Olympos itself), no shopping distractions, just peaceful bliss." Adam May, UK.

"We arrived at 2am, completely in the dark. When we woke up the next morning we couldn't believe where we were. Right by the beach, gorgeous sunshine, and lots of trees and flowers amongst which we enjoyed the most incredible breakfast spread. What a start to the holiday." Monika Neal, UK.

"I'm writing to to say that my wife and I loved our holiday at Bellerophon, it was everything we had hoped for. I don't think we can pay a greater complement than to say we have changed our holiday plans for next year and will travel to Cirali again." David Morgan, UK.

"We had a really excellent relaxing time. Thank you so much for organising it. Bellerophon and Cirali were both lovely places to be for a week. In principle, we would be quite interested in booking the same week next year.." Neil Turton, UK.

"I just wanted to thank you for your help arranging our trip to Turkey! We had a wonderful time and just loved the Bellerophon Hotel! Everyone was so warm and welcoming, the food was exceptional, and the beach and environment around us was amazing. I want to go back already." Josie Mauze, UK.

"Just wanted to say what a marvelous location and marvelous holiday. The way you are looked after and catered for is unbelievable. The thrill of a beach to yourself is soooooooooo appealing." Fran Askey, UK.

"We had an incredible time at the Bellerophon! We were the only ones staying for most of the week which made it feel like our very own little hideaway! We can't wait to go back. Thanks for all your help and hopefully we'll be in touch again soon!!! Julian and Shaida, UK.

"We really appreciated the magnificent surroundings, the unhurried atmosphere, and above all the very friendly attention of Akif and Nuri. It has to be said that the dinners and breakfasts were two high points of each day - quite incomparable! There was so much to do in the area - strolling to Olympos one way and Yanartas the other - plus outings to Phaselis, Kemer, by boat to Kekova and by jeep into the mountains. This holiday provided just the right mix of restful inactivity with good sightseeing opportunities." Mike Watson, UK.

"We are now back from a lovely week in Cirali. It was a fantastic place with great staff and gorgeous surroundings. Just like you said! One of our best holidays ever!" Katarina Löfström, Sweden.

"Many thanks for the great arrangements you made. We hade a wonderful stay at the Bellerophon hotel in Cirali. It offered a unique combination of nature (deserted turtle beach and mountain hiking trails directly at the doorstep), great food, friendly staff and romantic scenery" Marijn de Wit, Netherlands.

"Bellerophon Hotel was the absolute perfect venue for our honeymoon, a refreshingly relaxed atmosphere, friendly hosts, wonderful food and amazing scenery. This was a side of Turkey we had no idea existed" Gordon and Clair Ryan, Ireland.

"We had a fantastic time, Bellerophon is exactly as described and just what we needed. Akif was more than helpful, and Nuri a great chef. We loved the accommodation and setting and having our meals on the patio. Blissful in every way" Mandy Mclellan, UK.

"We had the most perfect holiday... Cirali is a protected wildlife area where turtles nest and farming & tourism work side by side. Our hotel was family owned and nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. We had beautiful home cooked food, delicious local wines and fruit from the garden. Cirali encourages responsible tourism - no crowding, no rubbish and do not disturb the wildlife! It's for the thoughtful and environmentally friendly holiday maker, and Journey Anatolia will organise it all for you" Lou Toosey, UK.

"We had a wonderful holiday at Bellerophon. It was quite amusing arriving in the dead of night, we had no idea where we were or what to expect in the morning - but walking out onto the veranda looking right onto the beach was a delight. This was followed by a sumptuous breakfast, served impeccably by the ever smiling Akif! It was very romantic with lovely walks in a gorgeous setting with the snow capped mountain behind. We felt no need to hire a car and go elsewhere. There was enough of interest in the immediate environs of the village with lovely walks and classical mystery to keep us occupied. The food was SUPERB!!! and our thanks go to Akif & Nuri for being our perfect hosts. Many thanks for drawing our attention to a magical spot" Loudon Greenlees, UK.
