North Cyprus Houses

Location in North Cyprus

Alagadi –

Situated on the borders of Esentepe, Alagadi is one of the cleanest and longest stretches of sandy beaches on the island. On driving from Kyrenia towards Esentepe, at the end of a 16km drive, taking a left hand turn on the road, Alagadi is situated 600 meters towards the coast. During the summer season, because the green turtles (caretta-caretta) have chosen this coast in order to lay their eggs, vehicle entrance to the beach is prohibited at most late afternoons and sunsets. Students from different universities of the world voluntarily arrive to North Cyprus every year and stay for a full month, in order to help these green turtles lay their eggs peacefully; to prevent any light or fire from being started at the sand; to prevent the eggs of these green turtles to be effected by anything else; and most importantly, to help facilitate the turtles hatching from the eggs to reach the shore quicker and safer. Close by, there are services such as a restaurant, showers, wc, and entrance to the beach is free of charge

Alsancak–

The established area of Alsancak is located just west of Kyrenia, and has something to offer everyone with its spectacular sea and mountain views.

Its closeness to Escape and Camelot beaches, beach clubs with a number of facilities including water sports, makes Alsancak one of the most popular holiday destinations.

Unchanged and unhurried since its colonial days, tiny narrow streets cris-cross haphazardly away from the main square, and scattered amongst the whitewashed buildings are many excellent and inexpensive cafes and bistros. Bellapais is an ideal haven for those seeking a calm and relaxing opportunity to sample the Cyprus of a bygone era. Bellapais Abbey is perched precariously on a natural terrace, and stands guard over the whole of the Northern coastline, it is considered to be one of the most beautiful and indeed most important Gothic buildings in the Near East.

The village is conveniently located on the bus route and has several restaurants, shops and a large supermarket all within walking distance. Karakum is a district of Kyrenia, literally 3 minutes drive to the east of the town centre. Its central location and seaside siuation makes Karakum highly desirable and hence the area attracts a premium. There is a good number of fish restaurants and bars in Karakum adding it an extra charm and character.

Karaman–

The village lies on the mountain above Kyrenia and nestles in the foothills of the Besparmak Mountain range and the crusader castle of St Hilarion. The village of Karmi, now Karaman, fell into disrepair after 1974 until the village was declared a special tourist area and the houses were leased to mainly British and German nationals to renovate. The old Greek Orthodox Church is now a museum and is open on most Sunday mornings around 11am. The village is small and nowhere is really more than 5 minutes away.

With its 6,000 year long history, unique remains of countless civilizations, miles of natural beaches, calm sea and mild climate it is an idyllic Mediterranean town. Its charming tiny harbour, full of yachts and fishing boats, is framed by the colossal hulk of its Crusader castle. With the backdrop of the mountains behind and the calm sparkling sea in front, the harbour has an intoxicatingly serene atmosphere. Kyrenia is an easy place to while away any time of the day… exploring shops, markets and local cafés in the late morning, strolling in the narrow cobbled alleys behind the harbour in the afternoon, or stepping out for a walk along the promenade and sea wall in the evening.

Karaoglanoglu–

Once a small sleepy village, Ayyrogi (Karaoglanoglu) has grown to be a sought – after suburb of Kyrenia, about 5km to the west of the town. After the events of 1974, Ayyrogi was renamed Karaoglanoglu in memory of Col. Karaoglanoglu who was one of the first Turkish soldiers to fall during the peace mission of July 1974. The village is famous for its lemon and olive groves which sprawl the hills and the fields. In the recent years, with the popularity of the area both with locals and with tourists, several hotels and restaurants have emerged on the coastline with extra care taken not to overdevelop the area to the detriment of the environment.

Karsiyaka–

Lapta lies on the narrow strips of land that stretches from east to west between the Besparmak Mountain Range and the sea; with dramatic mountain views it is described as a mountain village and as a coastal town. Lapta and its surroundings provide some of the most beautiful scenery on the island.
