      Our traditional gulet is hand built in teak and pine, with spacious indoor and outdoor lounge areas. Cabins include four twin and four double cabins, all with en suite toilet and shower. There are no single cabins. If you are a family of two, four or six you will get twin cabins. Cabins are cosy and can get warm in summer with no air-conditioning. The hotel rooms have sea or hill-side view, air-conditioning, satellite TV, minibar and hairdryer.
