The Kyrenia District
KYRENIA: Kyrenia is situated on the north coast approximately a 10 minute drive from Villa Mandarin, and has a 6,000 year long history. Kyrenia is the main port and major holiday resort in northern cyprus with one of the prettiest harbours in the Med. It is easy to explore its narrow cobbled alleys and chic pavement cafes and restaurants. Just a few minutes drive away is the fairytale castle of St.Hilarion said to have been the original inspiration for the Walt Disneys 'Sleeping Beauty' castle. THE KARPAS: The Karpas region is well known for its Byzantine churches, and boasts some of the finest beaches and countryside. The karpas peninsula (pan handle) is the easternmost part of the island where the land tapers into a thin strip which streaches out towards Turkey. This area is well worth a visit. FAMAGUSTA: This area is on the east coast a delightful old city completely surrounded by well-preserved Venetian ramparts. The ancient gothic St Nicholas Cathedral is worth a visit as is the covered market where you'll smell every spice you can imagine. Salamis is a little further up the coast with the remains of a Graeco-Roman city , complete with baths, meeting places and amphitheatre. BEACHES: There are a number of beaches within driving distance, Dezi Kizi Club and Acapulco Beach Club are the closest.
Bellapais area
Villa Mandarin is located in lower Bellapais close to the village of Ozankoy. Central Bellapais holds one of the main attractions in the area the 'Bellapais Abbey'. Founded at the end of the 12 Century the villiage has narrow streets and local shops creating the feeling that you are still in old Cyprus. There is an old tree in the small square called the Tree of Idleness which has become the symbol of Bellapais village. The area is ideal for walks and local tours are held every Sunday between October and the end of April and twice a month between the summer months from May to the end of September. St. Andrews is a United Reform church situated in the centre of Kyrenia.
