Totals are for both rooms, all 3 nights (Oct 26–29). Booking's search page wrongly marks both as "unavailable" for these dates; the hotel pages do show rooms. For comparison, the best value on the shortlist below (Yusufpasa) is about $580.

Distances are straight-line from each hotel's map pin. "Per person / night" = total ÷ 4 people ÷ 3 nights.
Several places showing $120–200 only offer one shared quad room or apartment, not 2 separate rooms. Gold Corner is ~2 km away.
Empress Theodora has exactly 2 rooms left. All four shortlist hotels have free cancellation, so booking now and deciding later costs nothing until Oct 23–25.
