Antonios Motel

“A taste of Turkey not to be missed !”

Don’t miss the opportunity of this quirky and beautiful garden restaurant. We visited three times, the food is authentic spicy and delicious, hosted by two kind caring and genuine owners. Next time we will visit in the evening too, thank you, good luck and hopefully see you in October.

“The Real Turkish Delight”

This is a delightful traditional family run Turkish hotel right in the heart of old Side, a stone's throw from the harbour, beaches and ruins.

This is a delightful traditional family run Turkish hotel right in the heart of old Side, a stone's throw from the harbour, beaches and ruins. Sevket and Hatice, the owners, go out of their way to ensure a thoroughly enjoyable stay. If you are tired of bland 'same as, same as' all-inclusive package holidays and want a taste of authentic Turkish style & hospitality then look no further. It's certainly not luxury, but is a rare treat that cannot fail to delight the discerning traveller looking for a characterful retreat tucked away in the very centre of the action! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

“Cozy and central place in Side”

My wife and I had a fantastic two-day stay in Antonio's Motel. The service was perfect, the breakfast was outstanding, and the rooms are cozy and have a lot of personality. The room even had a small terrace with a great view of the ocean and palm trees. Highly recommended!

“Delightful quirky garden”

I was attracted to Antonios Motel because of the location and its lovely setting. We arrived at 01.00, and Sevket was waiting for us and another couple to arrive.

I was attracted to Antonios Motel because of the location and its lovely setting. We arrived at 01.00, and Sevket was waiting for us and another couple to arrive. The pine clad room was not large but was adequate for our needs. The only downside was that the walls were paper thin. The tiny bathroom was spotless, even though it was showing signs of age. Sevket and Hatice work extremely hard, keeping the place neat and tidy. Breakfast included the usual eggs meat olives bread and salad, but there was always a few extra dishes; borek, water melon and yogurt, and sometimes leftovers from the previous nights meal, e.g. chicken fish vegetables. We ate an evening meal A couple of times at the hotel - all cooked by Sevket. These meals were very traditional Turkish and were very tasty. The majority of guests were German, and after a few nights, we were enjoying their company. Hatice was always smiling as she worked, whether it was cleaning the rooms or keeping the gardens tidy. The dog Johnny was everybody's friend! The garden was full of delightful curios, and had lovely sitting areas in the shade - or in the case of my partner - somewhere else to sleep! All in all, it was a lovely stay,
