WHY NORTH CYPRUS?

Well dont just take our word for it, the Daily Mail newspaper described North Cyprus as "The Meds best kept secret", saying "North Cyprus is an un-commercial haven of stunning scenery, from mountains and open countryside to remote villages and beautiful sandy beaches, where life has remained largely unchanged for centuries. With a sunny climate all year round, its an ideal get-away for every season".

The Turkish Republic Of Northern Cyprus is frequently described as the little corner of Earth touched by Heaven. It primarily suits those seeking a relaxing un-commercialised style holiday, so if you are looking to escape from the noise, hustle & bustle and crowds of the large package deal hotel holidays, then look no further than our luxury apartment in sunny North Cyprus. Once you experience the comfort and convenience of your own private surroundings in an area of outstanding beauty you will never want to return to a Hotel again. As the saying goes, once bitten, forever smitten.

Whether its soaking up the Sun on the beach, swimming in the safe warm Mediterranean, dining in picturesque Girne (kyrenia) harbour, or up in the Besparmak mountains exploring old Crusader castles, you will sense the unspoilt beauty of the place. Most sporting and beach activities are well catered for, and unlike some Mediterranean resorts, most shops, restaurants and activities remain open throughout the year. Generally speaking Cyprus is classed as a year round destination.

Flights by this route take a little longer as they make a scheduled stop in Turkey, but passengers for North Cyprus remain seated on the aircraft. Transfer time to the apartment from Ercan airport is approximately 40 minutes.

The second route is by flying into ‘larnaca’ in southern Cyprus. The flight times are shorter due to flying direct, but the transfer time is longer at approx 70-80 minutes. From the UK there are a number of operators on this route. Cyprus Airways & British Airways both operate scheduled daily flights all year round. There are also seasonal services from Easyjet, Monarch, Thomas Cook, ThomsonFly, First Choice, and a number of other operators.

If flying into larnaca they can collect you from there too. Current cost is approx £45.00 each way, but this is the TOTAL cost for the Taxi and up to seven people, so is very good value. We advise you to check Taxi transfer costs as prices can change.
