Airport transfers are available form all airports. Owners are able recommend local Taxi drivers who will assist when crossing the borders. Car hire is highly recommended and many company's offer both service.
The main resort in North Cyprus is Kyrenia (known as Girne to local Turkish Cypriots) is 25 minute drive. The harbour area, watched over by the imposing Crusader castle, is wall-to-wall restaurants and bars - a stunning sight by day, but an area that really comes into its own at night, when hungry tourists invade, eager to taste the speciality kleftiko lamb (slow roasted in the oven), or fresh-caught fish such as lagos or minerio.
North Cyprus has numerous unique historical sites to visit. Some of the remarkable places of interest in Kyrenia include the Kyrenia Castle, Kyrenia Harbour, St. Hilarion Castle and Bellapais Monastery.
From late May until late September the Alagadi Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Team often release turtles from the turtle hut on Karsiyaka beech. It is well worth logging on to their face book page to find out release days and times.
There is a well stocked supermarket 15 minute walk away to buy all essentials needed for a self catering holiday. However, with many good reasonably priced local bars, restaurants and eateries, the cooking facilities in the villa may never be needed during your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Tracey Dixon
Myself and my family live in the UK just outside of London. We have family and friends, who after visiting our Villa, now live in Northern Cyprus. We love the friendly people, the climate and the laid back life style and hope in years to come we will eventually retire to Northern Cyprus.
Why they chose this property
We had been renting this property for 3 consecutive years, prior to purchasing it 4 years ago, for our family holidays. We loved the area and the property so much we decided to purchase the villa. We holiday there as much as we can but also enjoy renting out the property for others to share.
What makes this property unique
Perfect place to chill and relax with the comforts of home.
