Great location, ın the old quarter and walkind dıstance to most of the town and some good restaurants at a decent prlce. A very friendly family-run pension who know their stuff on the area and can organise your tours (recommended!). Loved the breakfast!

My flight from USA was delayed by four hours. Since I was to meet a friend in Antalya, this was a problem. I called the SabahPension, where we were to stay, and they handled everything: Prevented my friend from having to wait for me, picked me up, delivered me to the pension. That was my introduction to this marvelous place.
Our room was clean, pleasant, and quiet. We overlooked the courtyard that was the center of the pension. Here were grapevines, jasmine, starflowers, passion flowers, and the kitchin garden. The kitchin itself was designed by Madam Sabah, separate from the house to keep heat lower. In the kitchin were prepared some of the tastiest, most tempting meals, that have left me with a desire for Turkish food forever. Breakfast alone would break your heart: Hard boiled eggs still warm, green olives, black olives, tomatoes, feta cheese, cucumber, breads, all the tea you could want.
The Sabah brohers will help you find your way around and organize tours for you if you wish. Because we were short on time, we took an organized tour of Perge, Aspendos, and Side. The guide was knowledgable and a good driver. He also did not prevent us from wandering when we wanted to, since we were reliable about meeting him at designated times. My only quibble with tours is that the drivers always have to stop at some tourist trap that tries to get one to buy things. This tourist trap business is also common in Kaleici, the Old Town, where the pension is located. One has to fend them off, but just ignore that and enjoy the rest.
I cannot recommend Sabah Family pension more highly and I hope to stay there again one day, and eat the wonderful food. My best wishes to the Sabah Family.
