King Hotel Bar and Restaurant
;)
A proper touristy holiday was decided upon for me and Phil to get away from it all, a week of lounging around the pool in 46+ heat and eating all the (not so fine) food out hotel had to offer. On the last day we decided to take in some rock tombs on the way to the airport, sadly the rock tombs are not as accessible as they used to be, leaving us with only a few decent shots of them.

Before going back to the airport for our long night flight back to the UK we stopped over for dinner in a little hotel, putting the bags in our stopover room I noticed a bar/hotel next door ….. Clearly abandoned!! So after rigging the air con so that we didn’t have to pay the $5 for its use and a cool comfy nap later we headed round to have a look; the hotel looks to have been closed in 2003 judging by the manuals and telephone directories scattered about. The pool had defiantly seen better days and now was filled with gunky water.

There were a few tables and chairs dotted about and the safe had clearly been too heavy for the previous owners to take when they left. There were signs of redevelopment going on with all of the windows stripped out and many doorways gone. My thought was that the hotel at some point had been sold to new owners but they had not got to far. The area of Daylan is not really as touristy as other parts of the Turkish coast, but its more relaxed atmosphere is drawing in new people all the time, so the King Hotel Bar and Restaurant may still have a future?!?
