Summary: Firstly, I want to say this was one of the most enjoyable hotel stays I have had in my 30ish years of international travel.
The Hotel consists of small cabins spread amongst a beautiful garden, surrounding the main building which houses the restaurant. This is a family operation, with Mithat running the hotel, sons and wives helping in the restaurant.
They also are able to guide you on various treks to the numerous archaeological sites ranging from Paleolithic cave paints to Byzantine Monasteries.
Situated just uphill from the old agora of Heraklei under the Latmos, you are feet away from incredibly well preserved Roman baths, Hellenistic theater, and some of the best preserved Hellenistic fortifications in the world.
The Hotel and Restaurant made the Michelin guide this year, and it's incredibly well deserved. Every meal was fantastic, and the service was outstanding.
I regret not having budgeted more time at Lake Bafa. Between this hotel and the numerous archaeological sites in the area I could have stayed for weeks.
I highly encourage this hotel for anyone who has a interest in trekking/hiking, and 100% it's a must stay if you or your significant other have a interest in Roman-Byzantine history and archaeology.
I honestly can't recommend this hotel enough. Book here, and you won't regret.

Summary: It was a great place. Family business, beautiful boarding house. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Nice bright room, we got a better room, the owner of Mithat was very kind, for which we thank him very much. A delicious homemade dinner with good wine.
The place is very quiet, in the heart of the village. A beautiful lake and we lived right next to the ancient ruins. The ancient history of this place makes it exceptional. Thank you again very much. We had a lot of pleasure

Summary: The town of Kapikiri where the Agora Pansiyon is located is a Roman city where people live among the ruins on a Lake that is on the migratory bird routes. It is easy to walk in the town and everyone was very friendly.
Agora Pansyion has protected parking, an outdoor seating area for warmer weather and an area inside for cooler weather. The owner, Mithat Sercin, provides a full range of additional services to include guided walking tours of the area. He is also an excellent photographer.
There are no restaurants in the town except those attached to other places to stay but the food prepared by the owner's mother checks all the boxes for delicious, healthy eating.
If you are looking for small town restfulness, authentic village home cooking combined with the ability to walking in history, Agora Pansyion is the place to spend some time.

Summary: A very nice breakfast
Apart from a small kosk are with cushions - there is hardly anywhere to sit comfortably in the communal areas. A few settees or floor cushions should make it better

Summary: Kapikiri is in the middle of nowhere, and very difficult to get to if you don't have a car or speak the language. That said, it is worth the effort! This is a very unusual and beautiful part of Turkiye, and I have never been to a place where the village was literally built around the ruins of Helikos, dating back to 300 BC. Not kidding- to get to some ruin sites, you have to walk through people's yards! The villagers are very friendly, but the women will try to sell you trinkets at every turn. The only disappointment was that I couldn't go on the guided hike to see the 5000 BC rock drawings- my guide woke up sick, so he had to cancel. Nothing in Turkiye is fast, so a last-minute replacement wasn't an option. BTW, the food is a major reason to visit- everything cooked fresh by mama, and everything grown on their farm. Exquisite!!
