Our villa has three spacious bedrooms (two double and one twin) and sleeps up to six people. The master bedroom has an en suite shower room and patio doors leading to the terraces and pool area. All the bedrooms have air conditioning, ceiling fans and built in wardrobes with ample hanging space and shelving. There is also a family bathroom with bath and shower. The fully fitted kitchen leads into the large, well furnished lounge/dining area. Patio doors from the lounge also lead to the terraces and pool area.

There are beautiful gardens surrounding the villa, with established fruit trees, bougainvillea, oleander, hibiscus, palm trees etc. The substantial sunbathing area around the large L-shaped 5 x 10 metre, overflow swimming pool with sun loungers, umbrellas and drinks tables makes it a lovely place to relax, read, drink and swim.

The Kyrenia region

North Cyprus enjoys a typical Eastern Mediterranean climate with long hot summers and short mild winters. The Northern coastline, which borders the Girne (Kyrenia) mountain range, is accepted as one of the most beautiful areas in the world in which to live and also plays host to the Caretta-Caretta and the Green Turtles. The natural beauty of the island, the lovely climate, the warmth and generosity of the Turkish Cypriot peoples and the abundant selection of fresh foods make North Cyprus an unspoilt and non-commercialised haven. There is virtually no crime to speak of, and this country is reminiscent of UK standards long lost, where hospitality, politeness and the general enjoyment of life are the daily norm.
The Turkish Republic of North Cyprus comprises an area of 3,355 square miles and encompasses the Northern part of the island, which is the third largest in the Mediterranean. Nearly half of coast-line of the island is also part of the TRNC. About 45% of the area is arable land, 20% of which is irrigated. Nearly 20% of North Cyprus total area is wooded and there are extensive re-forestation programs in progress. It is situated at the cross-roads of east-west and North-south navigational routes, is only 70 kilometres south of Turkey and 385 kilometres North of Egypt.

BELLAPAIS ABBEY: The present day name is the corrupt form of the Abbaye de la Paix' or the Abbey of Peace. The building is regarded as a masterpiece of Gothic art, and the most beautiful Gothic building in the Near East . The first monks who were known to have settled here were Augustinians who had to flee from Jerusalem when the city fell to Selahaddin Eyyubi in 1187. It is known that the original construction was built between 1198-1205, and a large part of the present day complex was constructed during the rule of French King Hugh III (1267-1284). The cloisters and the refectory were built during the reign of Hugh IV (1324-1359). Following the Ottoman conquest the monks were turned out and the building was given to the Greek Orthodox Church. The monastery begins with a gate, whose tower is a kater addition, and a forecourt. The church which is situated on one side of the courtyard is the best preserved part of the monument and dates from the 13th century.

SAINT HILARION CASTLE: The castle is named after St. Hilarion, a hermit monk who fled from persecution in the Holy Land and lived and died in a cave on the mountain. Later lived and died in cave on the mountain. Later i n the 10th century the Byzantines built a church and monastery here. Along with Kantara and Buffavento, St. Hilarion Castle was originally built as a watch tower to give warning of approaching Arab pirates who launched a continuous series of raids on Cyprus and the coasts of Anatolia from the 7th to the 10th centuries. Some 400 years after it was first built, the castle became a place of refuge and also a summer residence for the Lusignans. When the Venetians captured Cyprus 1489, they relied on Kyrenia, Nicosia and Famagusta for the defense of the island and St. Hilarion was neglected and fell into oblivion. The castle consisted of three wards on different altitudes, each with its cisterns and storage rooms. The first and lowest of these was used to accommodate the garrison and horses. It began with a barbican and its main gate and other walls, which are reinforced by horseshoe-shaped towers, were built originally by the Byzantines in the 11th century. The ruins of the stables where the animals were kept and the water cisterns an invaluable water source during the long medieval sieges- have survived to the present day.

THE CASTLE OF GIRNE (KYRENIA): The castle of Girne , one of the most impressive and powered castles to have survived since the middle ages until today, was supposed to be built to protect the city from pirates in the 7th century. The remnants left from the Roman age show that the history of Girne castle harks back to older times. Written findings mention the Girne castle, and that the King Richard III of England had captured the island during the Crusades in 1911. It is known that the castle of Girne had been subjected to changes during the sovereignty term of French Luzinyen lasting for 300 years. The castle was heavily demolished by the attack of Genovese' in 1373. The Venetians rebuilt the castle in order to gain protection from the Ottoman fires. New city walls and round towers were added during this term. When the castle was finished, the church of Saint George that was used by Knights Templar and was supposedly built in 1100, was within the city walls.

The Lapta area

Lapta is a beautiful sprawling village that has several restaurants, bars and tavernas to suit all tastes. The coast road is within walking distance from the villa and gives access to many beaches, local Cypriot shops and supermarkets. Just a five minute walk from the villa is Sunset Beach which offers a range of water sport activities. There is also an Aquapark in Lapta, which is ideal for children of all ages, and has good facilities.
ESCAPE BEACH is located about 1 mile to the east of Lapta, just before the sloping concrete monument towards Kyrenia. It is adjacent to the Altinkaya fish restaurant. The sandy beach is well protected and ideal for tiny tots. Toilets and showers are available, and there is a bar and restaurant.

Water sports are available on some beaches, in particular at Deniz Kizi, where they offer a wide range of water sports with professional tuition and supervision. In general, the beaches associated with hotels are kept clean and provide facilities such as toilets, deck chairs, parasols, bars and restaurants. Entrance fees vary.

Local buses (Dolmus) run from Karsiyaka to Kyrenia and are very reasonably priced. They will pick you up and drop you off anywhere along the coast road. But, if you wish to see more of the delights of Northern Cyprus, hiring a car is recommended, and can be arranged. This will enable you to go further afield to visit some of the most beautiful monuments, castles and other historical sites, all within half a day's drive or less from the villa
