Home description

This pretty bungalow has marble floors throughout and is light and airy. It is comprehensively equipped, including wireless broadband access if you bring a PC. Every effort is made to make guests feel relaxed and at home. It is also very child friendly, and we can provide a travel cot with linen, or bed sides for young children.

The main bedroom has a large en-suite and the family bathroom has a quadrant shower making it ideal for 2 families to share.

The secluded overflow pool is 10 x 5 m and has walk in steps. Next to the pool and barbecue the gazebo has a large circular table and terracotta lights which makes this particularly lovely in the evenings.

There are supermarkets and beaches close by but the villa is far enough away from the main roads not to hear traffic noise. This is an ideal location for a wonderful relaxing holiday.
This much loved property is extensively used by the owners and their family so is only available to rent for a few weeks each year, so book early!

The Kyrenia District

Kyrenia sits in the middle of a narrow coastal plain between the Bespamark mountains and the Mediterranean sea. The region has a reputation as one of the most beautiful holiday areas in the world, and yet it is completely unspoilt.

Whilst development has increased over the past few years the place retains a laid-back air with little crime and local people who enjoy a reputation for friendliness and hospitality - and they drive on the left! The highest section of the mountain range stretches about 15 miles to the east and west of Kyrenia. Further east is the Karpaz peninsular which has miles of almost empty beaches (some of which are used as nesting sites for turtles), and large areas of nature reserve.

North Cyprus enjoys a wonderful climate with long hot summers and short mild winters. Daytime winter temperature in January and February can still reach 20 centigrade (70 Fahrenheit). In the spring from late March to May the fields are green and full of wild flowers. Temperatures match the best English summers. During June, July and August temperatures average over 30 degrees (into the 90s) with seemingly endless days of sunshine whilst in September and October the temperature drops back to the 80s whilst the sea remains beautiful and warm.

Historic Sights.

Kyrenia harbour and castle:
The world-famous horse-shoe harbour with it's array of yachts and tourist pleasure boats is the focus of the town and is dominated by the walls of Kyrenia castle. The castle museum is fascinating and boasts the world's oldest shipwreck. There are numerous bars and restaurants in the town but it retains an air of calm and relaxation. We would be happy to arrange a boat trip,on a beautiful wooden Gulet, either during the day or the very popular evening 'curry cruise' .

St Hilarian castle:
The towers and ramparts which can be seen high above the town on the peaks of the mountains were built in Byzantine times (along with nearby Buffavento and Kantara castles) and further fortified by the Crusaders. It is reputedly the inspiration for Walt Disney's Snow White castle.

Bellapais:
Bellapais sits about 3 miles outside Kyrenia. The picturesque town is dominated by it's monastery and is a wonderful place to explore and then admire the spectacular views whilst enjoying lunch at one of the local restaurants.

Salamis and Famagusta:
Salamis is on the east coast and is about a 2 hour drive. It is a truly amazing ancient city with a spectacular theatre, massive gymnasium and extensive Roman baths. After your visit cross the road and have a swim at the lovely beach. A few miles south is the walled city of Famagusta where you can walk along the city ramparts and explore narrow streets.

Nicosia:
Definitely worth a trip to see the fine examples of Venetian,Gothic and Ottoman architecture. The Selimiye Mosque and Buyuk Han (Great Inn) are beautiful buildings that are surrounded with restaurants where you can sit outside and soak up the atmosphere. Take your passport with you and you can sample an even wider variety of shops by walking across the border at Ledra Palace into South Cyprus.


Alsancak area

Pyghtle is on the outskirts of Alsancak village in walking distance of several very good restaurants, the nearest being Acmenya only 5 mins away. There are also plenty of supermarkets that stock most popular brands of food, including baby food, and Iceland frozen food.

The beaches are just a few minutes drive away, our favourite is the small bay at Denizkisi. There is a small charge for beaches near hotels, but frankly it is worth it to get a sunbed, brolly, facilities and most important of all a cleaner beach. Also available locally are a variety of water sports including scuba diving.

We are only 8 minutes drive from the fantastic new water-park which is a great day out and good value for money.

Alsancak is only a 15 min drive from Kyrenia (Girne) or around 35 mins from Nicosia.

There is a guest book in the villa giving more details of local attractions.


How to get there

Fly to Ercan:

All flights to Ercan touch down in Turkey, but you do not normally need to leave the aircraft.

We recommend the Turkish no-frills airline Pegasus ( www.flypeg.com ) flying from Stansted who are always highly competitive. Early and late season, you can get flights for as little £153.

Also you can try Cyprus Turkish Airlines (who fly from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Birmingham and Manchester) or Turkish Airlines (who fly from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Birmingham and Manchester). In our experience these flights are around £50 more.

Our recommended car hire will pick you up from the airport (from Ercan it's free) and take you back. The car will be waiting at the house.

or:

Fly to Larnaca (Southern Cyprus) - transfer time to villa is around 90 mins. These flights are direct and duration is around 90 minutes less. Many airlines fly to Larnaca (e.g. BA, Cyprus Air, Monarch, Thomas Cook). If you are flying midweek you can pay substantially less.

Our recommended car hire will pick you up from the airport at a rate of £50 each way and take you back. Your car will be waiting at the house.

We strongly recommend that you hire a car in order to make the most of your holiday.

We are happy to advise on your travel arrangements. Do not hesitate to contact us!
