I stayed two nights here and had a wonderful time. It was clean, cute, cozy and provided a great base for exploring the area. I used the kitchen for cooking and met somefellow travellers with whom I shared meals. Friendly staff and great service.

If you want an amazing, local experience, this is the place to stay, despite the less-than-awesome beds. The proprietors are awesome, breakfast was delicious and you can take a morning stroll in the area to visit a local tea house and bakery. I highly recommend staying here.

This place can be difficult to find in the old part of Ayvalik, but well worth looking for. Ask for the old Greek church (currently being renovated) with the same name. The pansion is decorated with eclectic souvenirs from the owner's travels and traditional Turkish items; its a fascinating, one of a kind place. There's an attractive kitchen available for... More

This is a 'pansiyon' in very old (i was told 150 years old) building run by women so you can easily sense the difference from the other pansiyons. The owner told me that her family owns the building for 23 years. This pansiyon is named after the greek church just next to the building so you get really nice view.... More

I stayed here as part of the Geckos Tour. I thoroughly enjoyed this pension as I got my own double room. The room was sufficient and had air conditioning (hot and cold). There were shared bathrooms over two floors and were sufficient for our group. I enjoyed the terraces on both upper levels (there were three floors in total with... More

A group of 5 of us, my wife, 3 colleages and myself, travelled for 47 days throughout the Middle East from June - August. We made our reservations at Taksiyarhis in April. Well, due to the situation in Syria, our travel plans changed a number of different times. Each time, I emailed the Pensiyon and there was absolutely no problem.... More

Absolutely loved it here. The place has a cosy, family run feel, but everything you need as well (a kitchen to cook for yourself, two lovely balconies with views over the town to the sea, clean bathrooms). Very chilled out and quite romantic. Only downside is the walls are paper thin so expect to hear everything, no lie ins!

Oh my goodness, I cannot rate this place highly enough. Absolutely the highlight of our 2 week tour in terms of accommodation. The view from the upstairs balcony is phenomenal. The hosts were wonderful and friendly. I could not fault a thing. So romantic and such a treat that as a group we all came back in the evening and... More

We had the worst experience here of any place in Turkey. I had made a reservation more than two months in advance. Yet I received a note the day before our stay, informing us that the staff had overbooked the hotel, and thus they would find some other place for us to stay. We had to change our plans, skip... More
