Coast/Beach
The coastline around Kyrenia is beautiful and rugged with clear blue waters lapping against the rocks. Whilst it is possible to swim in Kyrenia, the main beaches are to be found to the East and West and whilst a car, or taxi, is required to reach them they are well worth the effort. Within 10-20 minutes drive are the beaches of Acapulco, Diana, Lara and Sunset, but be sure to take in Alagadi Turtle Beach where the Green and Loggerhead turtles come to lay their eggs in summer.
Golf
The new Korinium Esentepe Golf and Country Club is located within a 20 minute drive from our apartment and is the first 18 hole international standard golf course in Northern Cyprus. This lovely course boasts the usual range of features, including greens, sand bunkers and water hazards. The 6,600 yards-long course is set amongst natural greenery and scenery, including mature trees and shrubs, so it feels like a long-established golf course. The greens are watered from two man-made reservoirs, to reduce the environmental impact on the North Cyprus water reserves. This magnificent course boasts a gorgeous new club house and 200 seat restaurant, bars and terrace, in which non golfers can relax whilst the golfers enjoy the use of the course buggy's to take the strain out of this 6,232m course and enjoy the spectacular views over the beautiful Mediterranean Sea.

Guest comments
'We very much enjoyed our stay at the apartment, it was a very accurate description and was most impressed that it was within 10 minutes walk of the harbour as there is normally a bit of 'poetic justice' with apartment descriptions as we have found in the past.'
'The complex was well presented and we would definitely like to use the apartment again over the summer and would happily refer it to our friends.'
