Jean and John The food alone makes a visit to the Ephesus Boutique Hotel a pleasure, especially when Mustafa, the owner, does the cooking. Wonderful meals are prepared and served with love and care. At the same time, the location is perfect, on a hillside overlooking a village, and not far from Ephesus, Priene and other historical sites. Mustafa can... More

The Ephesus Boutique Hotel is truly a modern Garden of Eden. The rooms are spacious, well decorated and comfortable. The food is simply fabulous and the location perfect for visiting all local sites (Ephesus, Izmir, Priene, Miletos, Didyma, Pamukkale, Temple of Artemus, etc). The most spectacular part of the hotel, however, is the garden - a perfect place to enjoy... More

Ephesus Boutique Hotel is a small, cozy hotel located in a small village close to Ephesus, named Kirazli. We spent there two nights and we enjoyed it a lot. We felt like at home, Mustafa (the owner) and his people were so nice with us and treated us as part of the family! The hotel is in the middle of... More

Beautiful view of valley below. All meals are beautifully prepared by hotel owner, Mustafa, using all organic ingredients from his garden. Beautiful, big rooms, flowered gardens, and a pool to cool down from the incredibly hot days. You would have more freedom if you have a car. If you don’t, you have to hire a driver and guide to get... More

This hotel was perfect as a base for visiting Ephesus (20 minutes by car) and also further afield (Afrodisias is really worth seeing, on a par with Ephesus but many fewer visitors). The hotel staff are excellent and helpful. The food is really very good. The rooms are large, beds are kingsize and very comfortable. Mustafa, the owner, speaks perfect... More

We’ve just returned home from our fourth stay at the Ephesus Boutique Hotel and are looking forward to reprising the experience as quickly as possible. The unfailing hospitality of Mustafa Ciplak, the owner, and his attentive staff gives the place a sense of homey luxury. The beautiful new swimming pool is a welcome feature when the weather is hot. The... More

My wife and I and 2 friends recently spent 3 delightful nights at this excellent hotel. As it was before the busy tourist season we had the place largely to ourselves. We were delighted to have the opportunity to talk with Mustafa (the owner) and the staff. It was a great opportunity to get a local's perspective on Turkey -... More

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Ephesus Boutique Hotel. Although it was further from Kusadasi or Ephesus than expected, the experience was more than worth it. The hotel was located in a small farming community called Kirazli and very much off-the-beaten-track. The valley was beautiful and the hotel itself had a beautiful garden, vegetable patch and...

First off, Mustafa was wonderful. He purchased fresh fish from the market for us the night we arrived and we chatted over Raki by the dining room fire. He even gave us an impromptu cooking class while preparing rooster freshly butchered from his own coops. He arranged a tour of Ephesus by one of the best guides we had in... More
