The Kyrenia District
Kyrenia, with its famous little horseshoe harbour lined with restaurants and bars and dominated by the massive Byzantine castle, lies at the foot of the Five Finger mountain range. From here you can explore Northern Cyprus which is arguably the most beautiful part of the island and steeped in history. Nearby Bellapais has an ancient Abbey, quaint narrow streets with fine restaurants and superb views. St Hilarion, Kantara and Baffavento castles are also situated high above Kyrenia. For the most part, it is still undeveloped. With its crystal clear sea and wide variety of beaches, from the sophisticated to the deserted (even in high season and some with turtles or wild donkeys!), it is reminiscent of the Med before ruination by mass tourism.
What is more, it truly is an island for all seasons, with long hot summers and mild winter months. The people couldn't be more welcoming, the food and wine excellent and inexpensive and driving is still a pleasure and on the left!
Karsiyaka area
20 mins to the west of Kyrenia, Karsiyaka village, with its protruding mosque, nestles up the hill from the main coastal road on the lower slopes of the highest point of the Five Finger Mountain range. Villa Trisca is located on the 'sea' side of this road, a short walk from the Square and Ataturk Park, where most Saturday evenings local wedding receptions are held al fresco, and where you also find a couple of mini-markets, the local coffee and butcher's shops (large supermarkets are located about 15 mins drive). A few minutes stroll down the road in the opposite direction and you arrive at the sea with various small coves and local fish restaurant.
The setting is one of complete tranquillity; you can hear the faint noise of crashing waves, the distant call to prayer and the offshore breeze whistling through the trees at the bottom of the garden which is especially noticeable during the full moon. Yet the coastal road into Kyrenia boasts a wide selection of restaurants, beach clubs/discos, bars and casinos and you will be spoilt for choice. In addition to the usual water sports, scuba diving and paragliding is offered and there is a fantastic go-kart track.
