The Hostelz.com Review
Atilla's Getaway is just that -- a get-away. It is located about a five-minute drive outside of the very small little town of Selcuk which is itself an hour bus ride to the nearest medium-sized town of Kusadasi. And this is just perfect, because you don't really want to leave the Getaway.

The Getaway is equipped with a large variety of rooms -- from the cheapest options of dorm rooms, to four-bed smaller rooms, to a hotel-style room. The bathrooms are either attached to the room or the building, along with the showers. There is a superb pool with a fountain in the courtyard, along with a hammock, lounge chairs, three separate lounge areas, picnic tables, their own orchard, a bar, a volleyball court, and an excellent library for reading or planning the next travel destination.

All three meals are included with your stay, far and away making the price of staying here dirt cheap. The food is incredible as well. The chef cooks with only local cuisine, most of it grown fresh in the Getaway's own garden, and is local himself as well.

The staff here are incredible and are superb and this is a quality that Atilla's Getaway specializes in. Many of these people come back year after year as chef, driver, manager, or bartender and they are all amazing. The Getaway picks you up at the bus station and delivers you there upon departure as well. Daily trips are also made to the major scenic sites nearby, and there are also quite frequent trips to the nearby skydiving airfield.

The location is key to the world traveler as well. Five minutes away lies Ephesus, the Cave of the Seven Sleepers, St. John's Church, and the house of the Mother Mary. The nearby town of Kusadasi is a popular jumping off point for ferrying to the Greek Isles. It can't be missed.

Atilla's Getaway is an ideal place if you are looking for a chance to relax and catch your breath during stops or if you want to party it out with the other backpackers (and it is a party-place, too). The food is amazing, the people interesting, the rooms comfortable, and the experience once-in-a-lifetime.

Lives up to all the hype!
I just finished a three-night stay, and was blown away by the fresh healthy food, relaxed pool scene, and proximity to great sites like Ephesus and the Temple of Artemis. I couldn't stay here for more than a week, but it's a great place to recharge the batteries. The staff, mostly made up of members from the same family, are friendly, and more than helpful. Prices are reasonable too. All in all, Attilla's Getaway is probably the best place to stay in Selcuk.

This place is great. Very relaxing and comfortable. Also it seems like everyone who stays here are really great people. They provide breakfast and dinner which are made by local village women and out of this world. The hostel is outside selcuk but just a five-minute car ride. They also do free drop off and pick up in selcuk and ephesus. Everyone who works there is great. Plan on staying longer than expected.
