Very comfortable for our family
The home is spacious inside and out which provided lots of room for the five of us (two adults, two sixteen year olds and one twelve year old) to have time together and apart. The kitchen has basic housewares, plenty of storage space, etc. There is a wonderful marketplace within a 10 min walk (2 min drive) that has terrific coffee, a hot table, and groceries.
We rented a car from a boutique at the top of the street for a reasonable rate. A car is essential to being able to enjoy Kyrenia harbour and the wonderful beaches and archeological treasures of the island. You can park on the street or in the covered driveway. There is a dolmush stop at the top of the street to take you into the centre, too.
We stayed for more than two weeks during the hottest point in summer. The air conditioning units in each bedroom and the main sitting room were wonderful! We paid about 100TL extra for electricity at the end of our stay due to the cost of running them when we were using the rooms. This is a small price to pay for comfort!
The private access to the sea is a dock in a sheltered cove that is wavy and rocky, about 5 mins walk to the end of the street. Only experienced and strong swimmers could safely enjoy it. We preferred to drive out 10 mins to the gorgeous beaches in Alagadi and some beach clubs (Escape and Acapulco).
The neighbours are very nice, with cute dogs. Adil and family were extremely responsive and helpful to us during our stay!
