Jimmy and his family are very very friendly. They are inexpensive, sell everything and take you to their hearts. A trip to Patara without visiting them is a void.
On the road to the beach
This is a small, family-run pension with 12 guest rooms. Each room has a private bath with shower and air conditioner.
The room was clean and basic, but the common areas are what we really enjoyed. The outdoor dining area is covered with a large grape arbor.
The covered veranda offered a comfy place to read and drink tea before and after going to the beach. Breakfast was included in the price of the room and the owner's wife also cooks supper, so I ate several evening meals there also.
Depending on the time of year and the occupancy rate, a single may be had for as little as 15 lira a day!

We stayed here last year and didn't want to leave. We planned to stay in Patara for just a day or two but ended up staying longer and this had a great deal to do with Kazim and his family. We hadn't booked anywhere and when we arrived stumbled across this place.
We were straight away invited to sit with the family and were then shown our clean and comfortable room.
Patara is a beautiful quiet place to relax and Kazim and his family make the stay even more pleasant. The home cooking was the best we had during our stay in Turkey with veg picked fresh from the gardens. It was also one of the only places where as a vegetarian I was given a different and tasty meal each night.
When we finally decided to leave Kazim helped us to arrange our next place to stay but nowhere we stayed in Turkey was quite as lovely as Akay pension.
We would highly recommend you stay here for value for money and a real Turkish experience.
