Having fallen in love with Northern Cyprus over 30 years ago we bought the house in 2008. Situated in the village of Catalkoy which is just 10 minutes from Kyrenia, a beautiful old harbor flanked by a castle where you can eat at one of the many restaurants offering a range of fish, seafood and traditional Turkish dishes. There are 3 supermarkets within 10 minutes walk of the house, plus a village shop just a couple of minutes away. When it comes to eating out, a ten minute stroll will take you to several bars and restaurants. from a traditional Turkish restaurant offering fresh fish, a Turkish Meze restaurant (Meze is a selection of hot and cold starters), an Italian and one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been to, plus 2 bars that have live music once a week. There are several beaches within walking distance (approx. 20 to 30 minutes walk) but to enjoy your stay we would recommend a car to fully appreciate the the island and to visit the sights. We are happy to arrange car hire for you and you will be met at the airport and taken to the Villa, hire rates are between £18 and £20 per day and save the cost of a taxi to and from the airport. (appox £25 each way) All the cars are right hand drive so its just like driving at home and you will be free to explore the Turtle Breeding Beaches to the east of Catalkoy and the ruins of Salamis near the old walled city of Nicosia, Belapais Abbey, the Tree of Idleness and the many beautiful secluded sandy bays and traditional restaurants along the coast. Prices quoted are based on 5 or 6 sharing, for 1 to 4 people please deduct £50 per week from the published prices.
