About the home

.
Marine Villa is in Karsiyaka on the seaside and is in fact just 300 metres from the sea. The villa has just about everything you need to make your holiday special and for you to come away feeling relaxed and refreshed as all our previous guests have done.The stunning mountain backdrop and the beautiful, colourful gardens, make Marine Villa special and homely and not sterile like many holiday homes. A large Pepper tree, hedges and Hibiscus rose bushes ensure that your privacy is guaranteed around the pool area. A lemon tree, clemetine tree, grapefruit tree, a pomegranite tree, 2 olive trees, 2 carob trees and a mulberry bush are also part of the mediterranean garden.The villa has so many terraces you will be spoilt for choice, a good favourite (if you are not afraid of heights) is the roof terrace, many of our guests have spent many a night stargazing and dozing in the hammocks, with a nice cool glass of wine,Private sunbathing is also an option during the day if you wish to top up your tan but bring lots of sun-cream it's hot up there!!!. From the first floor balcony and the roof terrace you can see all the other villages right along the mountain range and lit up at night they look magical.

The warm balmy nights filled with perfumes from such flowers as Jasmin and Pakistani Nights which both flower from the villa gardens, and the call to prayer from the Mosque in the mountain village, will give you a true 'holiday feeling' which you will remember for a long time.

A hire car is advised because it gives you the freedom to visit any of the beautiful locations in North Cyprus, whenever you want when you want to, drive along the moun tain road to all the villages, where in a lot of cases time has stood still. There are so many historical sites and cultural places to visit if you want a sightseeing holiday.
So you see Marine Villa is perfect because it gives you the best of everything, privacy, the most stunning mountain views on the island, yet it is not far from anywhere else and the sea is only 300 metres away and is visible from the first floor and roof terraces.

The Kyrenia region

The town is built around the pretty horseshoe shaped harbour along which you’ll find many bars and restaurants and dominating which is the immense Byzantine castle. It sprawls out from the harbour and is home to a number of interesting museums and galleries, as well as being a hub for local tradesmen.

The old town is Kyrenia castle is lit up beautifully at night and adds a stunning focal point to the whole harbour area. It dates back to the late 12th century and is believed to have been built on a former Roman fort. Today it’s an exciting visitor attraction and museum

This fascinating town is situated on the northern coast of Cyprus. Kyrenia is an easy place to while away any time of the day... exploring shops, markets and local cafés in late morning, strolling in the narrow cobbled alleys behind the harbour in the afternoon, or stepping out for a brisk walk along the promenade and sea wall in the evening..

The old carob warehouses which border the harbour have been converted into attractive cafes, restaurants, bars and private residences with the fishing boats and yachts making this the ideal place to while away the hours.Take time out to explore the back streets from the harbour to the mosque and then if you fancy some shopping the main shops are all fairly centrally located with a few more springing up on the main Lapta road in recent years.

You’ll find banks, money exchange offices, souvenir shops, pharmacies, clothes shops, taxis, estate agencies, the odd pub, bar, cafe and restaurant all located in the centre of the town, and if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for just ask one of the many friendly shop keepers for directions.

Bellapais Monastery, St, Hilarion, Salamis, Kantara Castle are all worth a visit, brochures available at the villa

The Karsiyaka / Seaward Side area

Karsiyaka sits astride the coastal highway about 10 miles west of Kyrenia below the Western end of the Bespamark mountains. The villa is on the sea-side of Karsiyaka, about 300m from the sea.

There is a quaint square, where the locals' sip Turkish coffee at the cafe and play board games, a butchers, a small village store and a local Cypriot bar are also in the location, Karsiyaka village which can be easily seen from the villa is less than a mile away up in the mountains, the old village dates back many many years and is overlooked by the ruins of a Byzantine Monastry and the focal point of the village is the landmark mosque. There is an an excellent fish restaurant by the sea front which is within easy walking distance.

There are many beaches and bars all along the local coast and it's still possible to find deserted coves and your 'own spot' for picnics etc;. Some of the prime beaches such as Camelot or Escape charge a small fee. Many hotels allow the use of their beaches for a similar fee.

Although Karsiyaka is really a quiet unspoilt village, there a large variety of bars and restaurants in the next village of Lapta (about 3 miles), Alsancak (5 miles), and indeed all the way along the coast road to Kyrenia. Apart from the attractions of the seaside if you travel 10 minutes into the mountains above the village then you will find yourself in a completely different, almost Alpine, world of pine forest, rocky outcrops and goat herds - a paradise for walkers and nature lovers.

There is a magnificent new championship golf course which is about a 30 minute drive.Even if you do not play golf it is worth visiting the '19th' hole just to take in the stunning scenery. Fishing trips can be arranged and there are many places to fish if you prefer.There are several diving schools in the area. Paragliding and snorkelling if you want something a bit different.

Guestbook for Marine Villa

We had a great time at Marine Villa, the kids loved the pool, and we loved the peace and quiet. Everything we needed was provided for and more besides, In fact not sure of the dates yet but we plan to come back in October.

We spent a wonderful, relaxing week in Villa Marina. Although we have stayed in many, many villas this was our first visit to Cyprus so we were not sure what to expect.
The owners organized our transfer & our driver was waiting at Larnaca airport as arranged and when we arrived at the villa we soon realized that the villa was even more beautiful than it looks on the web site. The whole place was immaculate and in very good repair.
The villa is modern, spacious, light and airy, tastefully furnished with all mod cons you would expect from a first class villa. We really enjoyed the outside space, with the large swimming pool, beautiful landscaped garden and amazing mountain view. The owners were friendly and helpful, lovely welcome pack, helped us arrange car hire, recommended places to eat, places to see, nothing was too much trouble. The peace and quiet of the villa means that a car is useful to get around and see all that North Cyprus offers. We visited the local villages, spent a morning at the harbour, found some lovely beaches, ate out at some of the vast number of restaurants available. There is a water park a short drive away that we didn’t have time to visit.
The only fault we had with the holiday is that it went all too fast, a week was not long enough, but we will definitely be back next year. The service from the owners has been excellent from start to finish- everything went without a hitch.

Many thanks for a wonderful stay, we had a great time at Marine Villa which is a lovely spacious villa, well equipped with everything you need and beautifully furnished. The quiet peaceful location was ideal for what we wanted and with Lynn and Ian nearby they were on hand to help with all are needs including arranging car hire which is recommended for local supermarkets and restaurants. The pool area is fantastic, lots of sunbathing space and comfortable sun loungers to relax on before taking a regular plunge into the swimming pool to cool off. We spent most of the time by the pool during the day and BBQ’ing every night ! We had a great time at the Villa and we will certainly hope to come back.

Many thanks
Michael, Tracy & Oliver Powell

We had a wonderful week at Marine villa, which is spacious and well equipped, with plenty of extra touches such as books, games and DVDs. We spent loads of time by the pool, our son's idea of heaven, with all the pool inflatables! that were provided. Hiring a jeep - which Ian and Lynne kindly organised - was well worth it, as North Cyprus is beautiful, with wonderful beaches and many sites of interest. We especially recommend St. Hilarion and Kyrenia. However, it was all too much to see in a week!


A clear highlight of the villa - and the holiday! - was the roof terrace. Lying in a hammock under the stars, with a glass of wine has to be the best way to end a day!


Thank you Ian and Lynn - you made us so welcome and we had a fantastic holiday. See you next summer!


Jon, Chris and Dan




We would like to thank Lynn & Ian for being such wonderful hosts to us during our holiday in Cyprus.

Marine Villa was beautifully presented and equipped with everything required to enjoy a relaxing holiday.

Lynn kindly arranged our transfer from Larnaca and provided a very well stocked welcome pack.

The following day Lynn and Ian showed us round the area and Lynn arranged the hiring of a Jeep, with which we were able to enjoy the sights of Northern Cyprus.

After many a day of sightseeing we enjoyed returning to the villa for a drink and meal outside.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marine Villa and would highly recommend it.

Best regards,

Stuart & Jayne.
