Rain Garden Restaurant

This much-anticipated new addition to Kzkalesi's seafront is housed in a charming ancient structure under the shadow of a massive 50-year-old rubber tree. At Rain Garden Restaurant, the cheerful menu of great, good-value worldwide favorites, as well as what may be the best skma börek (pastry packed with cheese or meat) in the eastern Mediterranean, is complemented by the rainbow-colored fan lights.

A lovely wood-burning stove bakes delectable bread, and the continental/full Turkish breakfast is 28/35. The upstairs terrace with views of Kzkalesi Castle is a real treat. There's also a fantastic patio bar.

On the 1st floor, there are four retro-style rooms (single/double/triple €40/70/85) with full-frontal views of the sea and picturesque Kzkalesi Castle (single/double/triple €40/70/85).
