Our Story

La Kalinda was a wonderful experience for us; we wished we could have stayed longer. The three days we spent there with the wonderful hospitality of Ms. Görkem and Mr. İsmail were unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us with smiles and asked if we needed anything every time. The staff were also very friendly, and there was a fantastic team effort.

We stayed for one night at this charming hotel run by Ms. Görkem and Mr. İsmail. This hotel ranks among the top tourist hotels in Turkey in terms of cleanliness and tidiness. Breakfast is served buffet style, very delicious, and presented elegantly with care. The rooms are above world standards. The toilets and bathrooms are stylish, spacious, and hygienic. The room air conditioning provides very powerful cooling. Room cleaning is given great importance at this establishment. I wholeheartedly recommend it to all holidaymakers.

Görkem and İsmail are wonderful people who make you feel right at home... The location is very close to the center, there's no parking problem, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the garden is very pleasant, but the most legendary thing is the amazing breakfast. We had wonderful breakfasts with Görkem's amazing cooking. The appetizers, jams, and wide variety of hot starters were fantastic. We will undoubtedly choose this place again and again. Thank you so much for everything, lovely people....

Our reason for coming to Bozcaada from now on is La Kalinda. To describe it in order: - Their breakfasts are like a feast (it's indescribable, you have to experience it :) with mezes and jams made by Ms. Görkem herself, unlike anything you've ever tasted before...the first day there was an eggplant meze that I'll add to my rakı table from now on, tomato jam filled with almonds, and countless flower jams, making us wonder what's on offer every day. Besides preparing separate pancakes and crepes for the children, there were also pastries and fritters for everyone...it was a very pampering holiday :) - The rooms are very spacious, simple, and perfect for an island holiday.

When you go on vacation, do you want to just sit in the hotel? We did! 🥰 The hotel is very clean, and the breakfasts are fantastic (I say breakfasts because that's the concept here 💫). We ate so many different things over 5 days. Görkem Hanım's culinary skills and love enhance the breakfast. You can't find this anywhere else because most of the recipes are special. İsmail Bey and Görkem Hanım's hospitality makes you feel right at home.
