Cyprus Paradise Experts Recommend

With everything you could possibly desire on your doorstep at Cratos itself, it will be pretty tempting to just hibernate where you are, indulging in their wonderful amenities! However, some sensational sites are also not far and you will be glad you paid them a short visit…..The Buffavento Castle is a distinctive landmark in the area with breath taking views. There is a steep pathway leading up to the castle, so make sure you are in comfortable shoes and take a bottle of water along with you. As the highest of the three castles in Kyrenia, it’s a magnificent place for photos, as well as for exploring a rich and varied history that dates back centuries. Set on the flanks of the Five-finger (Kyrenia) Mountains, The Bellapais Abbey is another site that is close by (about a 10 minute drive) and highly popular. It’s also where British writer Lawrence Durrell (1912-1990) once lived! The traditional village of Bellapais itself reeps in architectural history and is only about a 15-20 minute walk up the hill from the Abbey, you will enjoy taking in its charming mix of traditional restaurants, cafes and shops, with quaint streets winding into the mountains.

If you’re lucky you may be able to experience one of its cultural festivals that are often held in the area. With access to pretty mountain trails decorated with wild flowers, walkers can enjoy the true Northern Cyprus experience of walking amongst the fresh scent of herbs and enjoying the untouched, natural beauty of the island. There is also the most popular Kyrenia Harbour approx. a 15 minute drive away, home to historical museums and Kyrenia Castle as well as a large variety of shops, small cafes and bars. A great place for present shopping, collecting souveniers and postcards and then relaxing with a rooftop view before you and a Turkish coffee in hand. Kyrenia town centre is only a few minutes away from the harbour boasting some larger shops and fashionable coffee shops and bars.

For nature lovers, ask the receptionist at the hotel for assistance and detailed directions to the riding club situated in Çatalköy,that presents the fantastic opportunity of riding in the Kyrenia mountain range and reaching some historical sites! Fully guided riding, led by a professional team, shows visitors how to ride and walk with a horse. The Alagadi beach, east of Kyrenia, also presents the fascinating opportunity of witnessing baby tea turtles hatching on the sand, your Tour Rep will be able to fill you in on the appropriate season and hours of this popular experience.

Please note that beach area of the hotel is under renovation. We do not anticipate or expect the works to affect your holiday.
