Bayraktar Konağı is in the centre of Demre (Kale), an easy walk to St Nicholas Church and several cafes. If you follow the signs for Myra Antik Kenti from the main road (D400) you will go through central Demre and pass Bayraktar Konağı which is next to a filling station. There is parking on the forecourt of the filling station and in the street. Air conditioning worked well and the shower room was adequate with plenty of warm water. Everything was clean. The welcome was warm. The price was good value. This historic building is a point of interest in itself. Furniture and decoration makes it a living museum, a comfortable living museum. The history is explained in leaflets. Building work started in 1940 and was finished in 1963. At that time there was no road connection to Demre so building materials were brought from Izmir by sea. Wood came down from the cedar forests around Elmalı. The Bayraktaroğlu family lived in the building until 2019. In 2012 the building was taken under the protection of Turkey’s Culture and Tourism Ministry, restored to original form and opened for tourism.
