Iliada Hotel straddles the border between a comfortable 4-star hotel of the conventional sort and the more personal style that we favour in this guide. It stands in the midst of a forest wilderness in the upper reaches of Mt Ida, miles away from the nearest village. In summer it offers a well-kept lawn, a large swimming pool, and an endless variety of trekking trails. In addition, it is a favourite gathering spot for off-road driving enthusiasts from the big city. For winter there are plenty of cosy halls with fireplaces and upholstered dens full of hunting trophies. The hills abound in wild boar and fox. The nights are frightfully silent, and very fresh.
The management are also owners of Nature Tours, a travel agency specialising in hunt and outdoor sports. The Bandırma fast ferry reduces arrival time from Istanbul to just over 4 hours, perfect for a weekends escape.
