thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa Doyan in July 2010. The villa
catered for 10 of us in comfort, the owners having thought of pretty much
everything you might need whilst on holiday. . We'd certainly recommend to
others." Luke, Lechlade, 2010

North Cyprus - Beaches
|
|
|
Beaches
are a principal attraction in
North Cyprus
,
and vary widely in character from the hotel beaches, which offer many
facilities, to the secluded stretches of sand in the Karpaz, where the
visitor may have an entire beach to themself. Water sports are
available on some beaches, in particular at Deniz Kizi, some 5 miles
west of Kyrenia, where Dolphin Sailing, which is recognized by the
Royal Yacht Club, offers a wide range of water sports with
professional tuition and supervision. Varying entrance fees are
charged by the hotels to their beaches. In general, these beaches are
kept clean and provide facilities such as toilets, deck chairs,
parasols, bars and restaurants. In addition, there are a number of
public beaches. As a
guide, a few beaches are listed below:
East of Kyrenia
Acapulco
Beach
lies about 6 miles to the east of Kyrenia. At the point where the
coast road to the east sweeps up towards the mountains, a large sign
advertising this beach will be seen. Here the road branches off to the
left leading to the entrance of a holiday complex. This is a popular
tourist beach, offering most facilities, but supervision of children
swimming is recommended as there is an undertow. Windsurfing is
available.
Lara
Beach may be found a couple of miles further on - a sign indicates
where to turn off from the new by-pass road. Toilets, showers, and
beach chairs are available, and there is also a reasonable open air
restaurant.
Alagadi
Beach
is still further east, about 10 miles from Kyrenia. A hundred yards or
so past St. Kathleen's restaurant is a small bridge. Immediately after
the bridge, a rough track bears left, leading past a farm and through
the dunes to a large, sweeping double bay. There are no facilities, so
bring your own refreshments, including water and avoid leaving litter.
Look out for the Turtle project located at the start of the track
going down to the beach. Depending on the time of year, you may be
able to talk to the volunteers working with the turtle conservation
project who are very happy to explain their work.
West of Kyrenia
Escape
Beach is located about 5 miles
to the west of Kyrenia, past the sloping concrete monument beyond
KaraoglanogIu. 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.
Deniz
Kizi is situated about seven miles west of Kyrenia. This sheltered bay
is kept clean, and offers a variety of water sports (see Dolphin
Sailing above) including windsurfing, parascending, water skiing, and
inflatable fun rafts for smaller children. Deck chairs are available
for hire, and there are also toilet and shower facilities.
Mare
Monte hotel beach lies some 10 miles west of Kyrenia, and provides all
the facilities the visitor requires. An excellent location, but the
entrance fee is higher than elsewhere.
Central Kyrenia
The
Dome Hotel in Kyrenia has a large seawater swimming pool, ideal for
those who like sea-water without the sand. Most facilities available.
The Karpas Peninsular
Golden
Beach
is located at the end of the Karpas peninsular and is generally
recognised as being one of the best beaches in the world. It is is a
long drive from Kyrenia but well worth it. Best to start early and
make a day of it.
