Elmas Pansiyon

A great place to stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. A great location to visit Aphrodisias from. The restaurant has very nice meals at a reasonable price. Great hosts and genuine Turkish hospitality, we really enjoyed chatting with Zafar and his friends and having a few drinks around the fire. They also gave us a ride to the bus station when we left. We definitely recommend staying here.

I travel the world by motorcycle. Elmas Pansiyon was a delightful surprise, as a base to explore the region and visit Aphrodisias site. Room is super clean, shower is hot enough (electric) and AC works. Zafar and his Dad have welcomed me for 2 days. The restaurant on site faces the old Bizantine bridge and the sound of the stream waters is very relaxing. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Small family business in a beautiful setting (water streams running between the tables). Menu is small but everything is delicious and very affordable. The owner was always generous and helpful and speaks little English.
Definitely worth a visit after visiting Aphrodisias or when nearby!

Unexpected great place to stop and lunch before aphrodisias. Family owned business since 1985. Before the was a water mill run by the grandfather until 2000. Very tasty, reasonable prices, accept credit card, in the middle of nowhere close to an ottoman bridge and with water going through the terrace. Some tables are in the water :) tasty food

We have stayed two nights and are very sad to leave this morning. The location is gorgeous - tucked on top of a river with streams running under the pansiyon and the restaurant. The photos don't do it justice, it's beautiful. The family who run the place are so lovely and speak a few words of English but are super happy to help with a bit of Google translate if you need anything. The restaurant specialises in trout, lamb shish and meatballs and the food is delicious and really reasonably priced - there isn't a menu but that is fine (a meal with beer for 2 is under 600TL at the moment). The rooms have balconies and a communal fridge outside, they're plenty big enough and comfortable. And breakfast is phenomenal.
Come and stay for more than one night, it's perfect for a peaceful couple of days or so and access to aphrodisias is super easy despite being away from the touristy bit. Even if there was lots of options here (which there isn't and the other option is ridiculously expensive), we'd choose Elmas every day.

Stayed here for four nights on a trip to Aphrodisias, and it was perfect. The rooms are clean, bright, comfortable, some with balcony, and quiet. The owner and his family are generous, hospitable, very kind and welcoming. Dinner and the big breakfast were always homemade with love and delicious. The kuzu şiş (lamb skewers), the homemade fries and the menemen (tomato eggs) are a dream, the best we've all ever had. If you order trout, it comes fresh out of the pond next to the kitchen. Communication worked very well via Google translate and bits of English mixed with a little bit of gesturing. A very authentic, beautiful guest house near Aphrodisias, with a river running across the dinner terrace, and beautiful landscape.
We also had the pleasure to meet Tura, who was very hardworking and happy to learn German after school.
Thank you, Zafer! All the best to you all and Zeus, Lora and Linda!

We had the most pleasant stay at Elmas Restaurant and Pension in June this year. Unfortunately only for one night. Zafer kindly fetched us from the bus station in Karacasu. Later on we did a short mini-bus ride to visit the spectacular Aphrodisias Ancient City. Back at the pension the dinner was really good and the breakfast the next morning was superb. Seated at tables in the stream while having your breakfast was refreshing and a good start to the day. The old Ottoman bridge and the sound of running water streams feeding an old disused water mill makes it even more special. Highly recommended.

Very good place. Worth to see beautiful view, old brigde and mill. Fish was also delicious. I learned that is is a family business.

The food in the restaurant is quite good. If staying in the Pansiyon, you should understand it's basically a hostel, with a few private rooms. It is no frills, but if you're on a tight budget it's not bad. The staff is very welcoming and friendly.

This is the best accomodation my wife and I ever stayed in. Great food, great atmosphere and great people. There are small creeks that run through the restaurant so they have fresh fish and you can bath your feet in the water. The owners are very friendly, we even went with them for a small trip near by. When we will go for your next vacation in Turkey we will definately come back. Do not trust the bad reviews here on google, they are completely false.

Mr. Şükrü is very kind and helpful. The place is very clean, the food is incredibly delicious. A magnificent nature where you can sleep with the sounds of water and wake up in the morning. What more can one expect?

Amazing food! Gorgeous staff! It was a really great stay! ❤

Great value, tasty, location above stream under a natural tree shade, very friendly staff.

Hospital owner. Tasty fresh trout for dinner.

Biz restoranında akşam yemeği yedik. Alabalık güzeldi, yemekler güzel ve fiyatlar makul. Ortam güzel, suyun kenarında yeşillikler arasında yemek yiyorsunuz. İlgi, alaka güzel. Konaklamayı başka yerde yaptık, ama yemek için buraya geldik. Yorumları görerek yemek için burayı tercih etmiştik, pişman olmadık. Konaklama için aradığımda ulaşamadığım için başka yerde kaldık. Bir daha gelirsem Afrodisyada, burada kalmak istiyorum.

Karacasu veya afrodisias antik kentine yolu düşenlerin rahatlıkla konaklayabilecekleri bir yer. En az iki kuşaktır orada pansiyon işleten Şükrü bey ve ailesine çok teşekkür ederiz. Bir pansiyonda değil ailenizin köy evinde kalıyorsunuz.

Aydın gezimizde yolumuz Karacasu ‘ya düştü ve elmas pansiyonda kaldık. 4 bayan arkadaş bizi mükemmel ağırladılar. Her şey çok güzeldi. Özellikle misafirperverlikleri. Doğası da korunma alanı olması da ayrı özellik katmış.

Aphrodisias gezimizin dönüşünde konaklama fırsatı bulduk. Tek kelimeyle muhteşem. Odalar gayet temiz. Yemekler hesaplı ve doyurucu, ayrıca çok lezzetliler. Gösterilen ilgi kusursuz. Çok memnun kaldık, her şey için teşekkürler.

Biz 4 bayan arkadas tavsiye uzerine burada konakladik.Ortam sicacikti, hem oratada gùrùl gùrul yanan sobadan, hem de Zafer'den dolayi.Oren yerlerine yakinligi ayri bir memnuniyet konusu.
Sagolun Elmas pansiyon ailesi, tatilimize hosnutluk kattiginiz icin.

Elmas pansiyon da 4 bayan 2 gece konakladık.Konum süper, aile hizmeti harika, yemekler nefis, fiyatlar çok uygun.Hele bir Linda var tam bir misafir canlısı, sizi karşılıyor ve uğurluyor, acayip sevgi dolu bir hayvan.
Kesinlikle tavsiye ediyoruz, herşey için teşekkürler.
