Home description
On entering through the gates of the Escape 2 Villa you will find a lovely landscaped garden full of fragrant flowers, fruit trees, lovely sea and mountain views, a private overflow swimming pool with a spacious patio area for sunbathing. Enjoy eating alfresco at the barbecue, or just relax with a good book on the ornate wooden swing or have a siesta in the hammock.
The Escape 2 will appeal to those who enjoy first class accommodation, in a beautiful location close to all the amenities. Alsancak is a popular village with several good restaurants/bars within walking distance. There is also a large well-stocked supermarket also within walking distance.
A wander into the old part of the village is like stepping back in time; here you will find shops, coffee bars, a bank, post office, kebab shop and a barbers where you can have a traditional wet shave.
For those who prefer to use local transport there is a bus service that operates from Alsancak to Kyrenia. Fares are approximately 50p. Taxis are also readily available.
A perfect holiday home for couples & families, wanting to get away from all the hustle and bustle.

The Kyrenia District
North Cyprus is one of the few unspoilt, relatively uncommercial areas left in the Mediterranean. Its natural beauty will leave you breathless, whether it is the range of mountains running parallel to the coast or the wild flowers that grow at their best in spring. Crusader castles perch on three of the Kyrenia mountain peaks and offer views reaching far across the land and sea on a clear day. Swimming is excellent, either from local beaches, where a minimal charge is made for use of sun-beds and umbrella, or from deserted beaches further afield in clear waters rarely seen in the Mediterranean. The climate consists of long hot summers and short mild sunny winters, boasting 340 days of sunshine with the lowest sea temperature rarely below 63 degrees F. This attractive holiday resort boasts many historic sites worth visiting. Among these the horse shoe Harbour, Castle and the Shipwreck Museum, The St. Hilarion Castle, The Bellapais Abbey, the Folk Art and the Icon Museum are the most important places to visit. There is another fantastic experience, the Turtles in Northern Cyprus! turtles nest in some forty nesting beaches around Northern Cyprus. All are welcome to participate in this event as well to witness up to a hundred of these amazing little creatures hatching at one time.

Guestbook
We had a lovely time in Cyprus. What a joy to go somewhere that hasn't been too commercialised. The villa was lovely - kids really enjoyed having their "own" pool and spent lots of time in it. Couldn't fault the villa at all - it was just what we wanted - quiet and peacful - and was very well equipped. Sinead (2008).
Just to let you know that we had a lovely time last week at your Villa. It was spotless when we arrived The Management team had done a great job and they were available whenever we needed them. Car Hire were really efficient, and overall it was a splendid week. Phil & Pam (2008)
Another fabulous holiday - thank you. No one wanted to come home, we had such a lovely time. The villa is like a second home to us now, we all love it, and I have been "instructed" by my family to book again for next year ! The garden is even more beautiful now . The villa is so perfect for our needs in its quality and location. So, if it is ok with you, we would like to book again for next year. Karen (2007)
We had a super break, We had so much fun and thought the villa was just lovely, thanks again. Adam & Adrea (2007)
We had a wonderful holiday at the villa and were very impressed & delighted by the cleanliness, facilities and attention to detail, we couldn't have asked for more - thank you. We enjoyed it so much we would like to know if you would be kind enough to let us rent it again next year. The children loved the pool, my husband loved the space and I loved the views, the beautiful garden and the peace and quiet. Karen (2006).
