However, if you are not going to camp, you have to act fast as there are not many hostel and hotel options around Yedigöller National Park, which are intertwined with nature, because the rooms are filled with jet speed, long beforehand.. Especially when it comes to weekends. In short, the most important thing in the Yedigöller trip is to act in a planned manner. Our suggestion, based on our own experience; If you are going to stay in a hotel / hostel, book your room after you decide to go.. You can easily find a place if your departure date is 1.5 months.. It’s not a joke.
For hostel accommodation, choose Hindiba Nature House or inside Yedigöller National Park You can choose Habitat Recreation Houses. Hindiba Nature House is not very close to the national park, but its nature is truly magnificent.. We had researched a lot and had our eye on it, but when we couldn’t find a room, we didn’t force it much.. Habitat Recreation Houses, on the other hand, consist of bungalow houses located in the national park, around seven lakes.. Our only one night stay was here and we really left incredibly happy.
