Petek Pansiyon is one of the most magical places I’ve ever stayed in my whole life. It takes you back in time as if you’re living in the 60s Istanbul. The rooms are decorated with mid-century furniture which were used in the 60s in this very place, which I find it absolutely mind-blowing. The lounge area was exceptionally beautiful, I spent a lot of time there reading my book, it felt as if I was in the set of Mad Men! A very quiet, serene and unique place in a very vibrant part of Kadıköy, which is quite rare.
I used to live in this neighbourhood back in the years and I can confidently say Petek Pansiyon is also one of the best places to live like a local. Fenerbahçe Park, which I think is the prettiest park in Kadıköy is only 5 mins walk. Central Kadıköy, only 10 mins by taxi. And 10 mins walk to the beautiful seaside path that starts from Dalyan and ends at Bostancı.
I can’t thank enough to Cem and his father Yavuz, who was always there when I needed something or had any questions. I absolutely fell in love with the place. Felt like home, I will definitely come back! Thank you for a lovely week!
