Location:

High in the hills overlooking the dazzling coastline of the north of Cyprus, Villa Karkot is a dream home for so many reasons – not least its proximity to all the highlights of this fabulous island.

Just 5 minutes away, Kyrenia was once a Venetian harbour town, and its enchanting harbour is still utterly beautiful and something of an icon of the local area, along with its picturesque castle. The town features a magnificent backdrop provided by the Pentadaktylos Mountains and their dramatic forested hillsides. Nowadays it is a cultural and economic hub, with three universities, many hotels and a vibrant nightlife, as well as an annual culture and arts festival.

Stylish beach bars, sophisticated beachfront hotels and romantic hill-top restaurants are dotted across this fabulous coastline, while there are several markets selling fresh, local produce, olives, cheeses, bread and meats. Activities in the region vary greatly, from the extremes of scuba diving and paragliding to the more peaceful golf, snorkelling, hiking or even a little bit of sightseeing!
As this wonderful region benefits from 300 days of sunshine every year, you’re sure to enjoy countless hours in the sun, soaking up the rays and relishing the peace and tranquillity of this unspoilt area.

There are many places of interest in Northern Cyprus, such as the History Museum various abbeys and churches, including the Mavi Kiosk and Bellapais Abbey. The beautiful Karpaz Peninsula boasts a pretty Marina and Golden beach. The Karpas region is rich in subterranean water reservoirs, with fruit, olives and tobacco plentiful. Small villages dotted around the region with their inhabitants living in the same way they have for years.In Famagusta the Ruins of Salamis are a must go, you can also see Othello's Tower and the walled city. Nicosia is the last divided capital of the world; it's great for shopping addicts, as well as history lovers. Kyrenia is excellent for boat trips, and it's worth exploring the harbour and castle. If you are lucky you may see turtles from the boat.

Tucked away on the west coast of the island there is the tranquil Akamas Peninsula, a rich, vibrant and unspoilt landscape filled with deep gorges and sandy bays. Head to the Blue Lagoon (you can take an organised boat tour to it!) for an unforgettable swim spot!

Gastronomes will delight with a visit to Cyprus – the traditional Meze with a whole variety of small hot and cold dishes is a delight, meanwhile kebabs, Lahmacun, Mousaka or Kleftiko are also excellent options.
