Kybele Review

Named after an ancient Anatolian fertility goddess, this charming little inn is lit by an incredible profusion of antique lamps—4,000 at last count—that hang from the ceilings in the overstuffed lobby and small but imaginatively decorated rooms. There's a little garden in the back (though no view), a cozy library, and a good restaurant. Necdet "Mike" Akbayrak, the gregarious and helpful owner, is as much of a fixture in the hotel as all the lamps.
