The Kyrenia region

The seaport of Girne/Kyrenia is situated on the north coast of Cyprus and is the location of many historical events and unique remains of countless civilisations dating back 6000 years. The beautiful harbour is dominated by a majestic castle, which is first referred to by ancient sources in the year 1191 A.D, when the English King Richard The Lion Heart defeated lsaac Comnenus on his way to the Crusades and conquered Cyprus. The Museum houses the oldest trading ship known (The Mediterranean), which is believed to have been sunk in the year 300 BC.

Bounded to the north by the sea and to the south by the Besparmak Mountain range, it offers the benefits of both sea and mountain air, and is thus an ideal resort for health and relaxation. Along it's northern shoreline there are miles of natural beaches, calm seas and a mild climate. It experiences over 300 days of sunshine and is the perfect holiday resort.

The Kayalar area

Kayalar is a very small village on the approaches to the North West peninsular. It is a very quiet secluded area with access to several small coves and beaches including Horseshoe Bay (just 1.5Km from the villa), where there is a small fish beach bar/restaurant. The route to Kayalar is via a beautiful scenic drive along the coast from the main Girne/Kyrenia road (5 Km). Close to the Kayalar turn off are two excellent beach bars including Club Güzelyali.

A car is essential and the position of Kayalar makes it very simple to explore the rest of the island without having to navigate through the town of Girne/Kyrenia. Trips to The Karpas peninsula, Famagusta, Nicosia/Lefkosia, Vouni Palace, Guzelyurt/Morphou are very easy to make.

Just 13Km due East on the main coastal road will bring you to Lapta sea front, where there is access to water activities including diving.

Other activities available nearby are horse-riding, walking, mountain biking, go-karting, paint balling, trampolining, tennis, clay pigeon shooting, sea fishing and para gliding. Gulet cruises are also available and several excellent gulets set sale from Girne/Kyrenia.

The journey East towards Girne/Kyrenia will take you through several villages such as Karsiyaka, Lapta, Alsancak and Karaoglanoglu where there are numerous fine places to dine on the fabulous fresh and natural Cyprus/Turkish cuisine. All these villages can be seen from the main Girne/Guzelyurt road where they are nestled on the slopes of the Bespamark mountain range.

You can visit many ruins of past abbeys, churches and monastries. Bellapais Abbey (built in the 12th century), has beautiful gothic architecture and is located 10 minutes drive north of Girne/Kyrenia. It is close to here where Lawrence Durrell wrote "Bitter Lemons of Cyrpus". This gives an insight into life on the island in the 1950's and later after the Turkish intervention in 1974.

The Salamis Ruins (near Famagusta) is an excellent day trip. Be sure to have lunch in Bedis Bar/Restaurant at the entrance.

Saint Hilarion Castle (10th century) is another interesting excursion where there are breathtaking views of the Girne/Kyrenia & the northern cyprus shoreline and villages below. When you leave the castle, instead of driving back through Girne/Kyrenia turn right and head west along the top of the Bespamark mountain range, where you will arrive back at the village of Karsiyaka. It is a lovely drive.

You will find Byzantine, Ottoman, Roman, French, British, Greek and other influences on the island have enhanced it's fascinating past.

Guestbook for 4 Carob Villas

7th – 19th October 2011
We loved the space in the house and the quality of all the fittings and garden. We were in the pool every day until the last day when the winds dropped the temperature to 21. The rest of the time it was around 24 degrees in the pool - very refreshing on the hot days. We covered most of TRNC from west of Guzelyurt to the top of the Karpas and spent one night up in one of the beach huts on the spectacular turtle beach up there. Can’t wait to return!
The car hire firm run by Mr Ali and staff were absolutely great.. courteous, on time and nothing was too much trouble.

21st – 29th August 2011
Dear Bob & Sue, A huge thank you for a great week’s holiday and an equally great villa. Will have no hesitation recommending this holiday to family & friends.

31st July – 14th August 2011
Thanks Bob & Sue, Had a fantastic time, wonderful pool, villa & beautiful surroundings. Sorry to have to be going home. Thanks again.

16th – 30th July 2011
Hi Bob, We had a great time at your villa. It’s Fantastic! We had a great time and will be going back ASAP. James Kaye.

22nd - 31st October 2010
Thank you for a wonderful return trip to your “gorgeous” villa. Had a lovely relaxing week. Sunny and 25c apart from one day.

14th - 28th August 2010
Wonderful villa, fantastic pool, Visited St Hilarion Castle, Bellapais Abbey, Famagusta & Karpaz where we swam on a lovely deserted beach. Had a wonderful (hot) holiday. Thank you.

7th - 14th August 2010
What a wonderful week. Your villa is beautiful and you have thought of everything to make our stay as perfect as possible. Thank you for all your efforts in arranging not only your villa but also our hire car & transfers. This has been an eye opening experience for our daughter and niece as it was a journey for them to discover the birthplace of my dad and their grandfather who was born here. Thank you so very very much love. (Australian Family)

20th - 27th July 2010
Thank you for a wonderful vacation. Your villa is fantastic and we enjoyed everything about it. Our three kids loved the pool and almost all three learned how to swim. Thank you for being supportive during our vacation by arranging everything so perfectly. We wish you both Bob & Sue all our best!! Best Regards

8th - 17th November 2009
Wonderful villa and perfect for a restful break. Garden, with it's varieties of plants, gives one endless mecca for the insects and birds, which are busy within, a joy to watch! An island diverse with its cultures and history. We look forward to our next visit here.

4th - 19th August 2009
From the moment we arrived late and had our first evening dip in the warm pool and smelt the beautiful jasmine we knew this was a lovely place. The villa is simply superb, so well equipped, everything we wanted and the standard of furnishings excellent. Location wise it is so peaceful and quiet, spotting another person was a rarity. Everything in the villa to make our holiday ideal and the way the villa and Bob's organisation was A1 right down to the lilo foot pump! We loved the chlorine free pool, simply great. We visited many places, including Kyrenia harbour, many times, St Hilarion Castle (v hot), Bellapais Abbey (v beautiful and serene), Alagadi Beach (our favorite along with the Secret Beach nearby) Famagusta & Salamis (watch out for the speed cops on the drive there). Our only regret is not going to The Karpaz peninsula (next time!) We have eaten out lots as well as some lovely BBQ's (local meat is good). The highlight has to be The Ambience – excellent. The Address is also very good. We have seen a number of Turtle releases and also a couple of excavations – a great experience. Great villa, great weather, great country, great people, great holiday!!

18th - 25th July 2009
We too have enjoyed staying in the villa and will miss the privacy and quiet surroundings when we leave tomorrow. The pool has been fantastic, just the right temperature to keep nipping into as the daytime temperatures in the last couple of days have been in the early 40's! We've all lacked energy so haven’t ventured too far. We have however been to Nicosia for a meze, (met up with old friend) and have been to a lot of local coves for a quick snorkel in the med. Paul has been scuba diving on a couple of occasions and yesterday we spent at Escape beach so that granny could swim in the sea too as it is easier to navigate than the local coves. Tonight we are off to Bellapais {Abbey) and then onto Girne (Kyrenia) for a meal by the harbour. Girne harbour provides a lovely setting for a meal, once you have negotiated the keen attentions of the restaurants vying for your trade.

16th - 30th August 2008
We've had a fantastic time, just so sorry we are going home. Lovely villa – so great to be able to look out to sea. Your Brandt, N Cyprus travel guide was v useful! Soli, St Hilarion, Salamis, Lefkosa all worth visiting. Escape beach was lovely, children are free, not overly expensive. Hillltop Restaurant, turn off right for Lapta & follow the signs up the hill – excellent. Thanks Bob for all your help and additional information. I'm sure we'll be back.

20th July - 3rd August 2008
Lovely villa – Pool is fantastic. We have had a brilliant holiday and have been lucky enough to enjoy some really great diving. Would highly recommend Turtle Bay Dive Centre in Lapta & would caution using Blue Dolphin. Weather has been terrific. People are lovely. Thank you Bob & Sue for all your help and the attention/time you have taken to ensure we have had a good holiday!

4th - 18th November 2007
Thank you for your well organised villa! We have thoroughly enjoyed our first stay in TRNC. Gavin & Joya have decided to buy over here and thanks for all your help in that respect. Lovely restaurants, people & country! Many thanks for a great holiday and we'll come back again soon.

1st - 8th October 2007
We have enjoyed the privacy and facilities of the villa./ Although the sea was warmer than the pool, we managed to swim in both daily. All in all a great holiday.

9th - 23rd August 2007
May, Enver, Mel & Bel Kunner
We've visited Cyprus many times but we've never been as relaxed as we were here. The villa and surroundings were wonderful, we're sorry that we have to leave. Thank you so much!

20th – 27th May 2007
Had a peak last October so we knew it was beautiful but it’s more than that – so peaceful, so elegantly furnished. Thank you so much for a lovely week.
