The Property — Eskici
Eskici is a compact, family-run hotel in central Muğla, with a courtyard garden and simple, clean rooms. The lobby feels like a personal guesthouse — old wooden furniture, a small reception desk, and the owner often around to give directions. It suits budget travellers and hikers passing through on the Lycian Way who want a quiet, local base rather than beach resort glitz. Expect basic amenities but genuine hospitality.
Chronicles of Mugla
Muğla was founded in ancient times as Mobolla, a Carian settlement, and later became a minor Ottoman administrative centre. Its old town preserves 19th-century whitewashed houses with overhanging bay windows, reflecting a blend of Turkish and Greek craftsmanship. The city never boomed like coastal resorts, retaining a provincial, slow-paced identity. Today it is the administrative and market hub for the surrounding Mugla Province, known for traditional olive oil soap and honey production.
Best Time to Visit
Full Mugla guide →Best months
May, September, October — warm sun without the oppressive July heat, and tourist numbers are lower because most visitors head to the coast.
Peak / festival surge
July and August — temperatures regularly hit 35°C, and coastal resorts like Bodrum and Marmaris are packed; hotel prices in Mugla city rise about 20% as it serves as a cheaper inland option. No major festival in town, but the nearby Akyaka village sees a summer folk festival.
Budget shoulder season
April and November — temperatures 15-25°C, rain possible, hotel rates drop 30-50%, and you'll have the old town almost to yourself.
Weather & packing
Muğla lies inland at 660m elevation, so summer nights cool off more than the coast — bring a light jacket or cardigan. For July, pack a sun hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and insulated water bottle for the dry heat.
Live City Briefing — Mugla

- A new weekly organic farmers' market started at the old bus station site on Saturdays, selling local honey and olive oil.
- Mugla's municipal museum reopened after renovation in early 2026, now with an expanded Ottoman-era ethnographic section.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Eskici, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the rear courtyard. These floors avoid street-level bustle and get more natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of ground-floor rooms facing Mugla's main road – they catch traffic rumble from early morning deliveries and engine noise. Also avoid rooms directly above the lobby entrance or near the single lift shaft (audible hum at night).
Best views
If available, a top-floor room on the rear side (south or east orientation) gives a glimpse of the adjacent hillside and quieter residential rooftops – not spectacular, but a calm outlook over tarmac.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are quietest: away from the street, no passing foot traffic, and the lift noise fades after the 2nd floor.
🔊 Noise notes
Mugla's main road runs past the hotel: market trucks unload from 7am, and evening moped traffic continues until 11pm. The adjoining alley sees late-night café deliveries twice a week.
Insider tips
1. Park in the hotel's own rear car park (ask at check-in) – the street parking fills by 9am and is metered until 7pm. 2. Request a room with a south-facing window to catch the cross-breeze; the air-con units are older and audible in windowless rooms.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
