In smaller Turkish tourist towns, like Pammukale and Patara, it’s usual to eat at your hotel rather than at a restaurant. While this may sound suspiciously like an all-inclusive holiday, it’s actually a great way to try a freshly cooked home meal
A Pension menu is usually small and flexible. Our hotels were always happy to make a vegetarian meal - often modifying a dish that they were already serving to other guests. At Zeybek 1 in Patara we tried a delicious plate of mixed stuffed vegetables (”dolma”).
We also ate a vegetarian version of a classic Turkish casserole called Guvec. This is a hearty dish of mixed vegetables, usually covered in baked cheese. Our Lonely Planet claimed that this was a vegetarian dish, but in restaurants it often contains chicken so make sure you check. Because Pensions make food fresh, you may need to order earlier in the day to allow for cooking time.
