Longosphere Glamping provided a very nice getaway during the hot summer months. Overall, it was a very well run resort with very nice facilities, friendly staff and fun activities. Getting There - Right now it appears that there is a new road being constructed to bring visitors up to İğneada, so right now you'll be driving on a winding gravel road to get to the area. It's not bad, but just be aware. Check-In and Staff- The check-in process is very easy and smooth and the staff will drive you in a golf cart to your tent or cabin. They are courteous, informative and professional. We asked for advice on activities to do outside the resort both during our stay and afterwards and they were very helpful. The staff recommended a beach on the Black Sea that was very nice and very secluded. Be aware that the majority of guests are Turkish tourists, and their English is limited, but available. Plan on speaking Turkish for the balance of your stay. Accommodations- We rented the "long squirrel" tent. The tent is roughly the same as the standard squirrel, but includes a built-in WC and shower. The upgrade cost about a thousand lira extra, but was worth it. Though, the communal showers and toilets were very nice and well maintained. That said, if you don't want to venture out to use the restroom in the middle of the night, spring for the long or the turtle cabins. The tent was a decent size with a nice soft bed and nice bedding. The top of the tent was glass which let in sunlight and allows for some light stargazing at night. There is a small fridge, lights and electrical outlets in convenient locations in the tent. The flaps of the tent lock by placing a padlock on the zippers, so your things should be relatively secure. Facilities- There is a large restaurant with free breakfast service every morning until 11 am. They keep a wide assortment of standard Turkish breakfast items (cheese, breads, menemen, burek, jams, etc) as well an omelette station. The tea was pretty good and the coffee (drip and Turkish available) was solid as well. At night, the restaurant has a variety of items available ranging from pizza, pasta and traditional Turkish dishes. They also have a tasting menu that pairs an opening item, main course, dessert and wine. They said that the tasting menu was for one person, but ordering two of them was too much for two people. My only real complaint with the restaurant were the frankly exorbitant prices. You're definitely paying a resort premium for the food, so be prepared. That said, the food was well made, which made the price much easier to swallow. The poolside bar is nice and well run, and offers a variety of cocktails, beer, wine and non-alcoholic beverages. Food from the restaurant is available at the bar, as well, and was delivered relatively quickly and was warm on arrival. There is also a bar in the middle of the main tent area which serves until midnight. The drinks are decently priced and well made. The vibe is very laid bac
