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 sunny climate all year round, it is 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 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.

From the UK there are two routes into North Cyprus. The first is by flying into ‘Ercan’ (the North’s only airport) via Turkey. The main operators on this route are ‘Cyprus Turkish Airlines’ (KTHY), and Pegasus. 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 South Cyprus. The flight times are shorter due to flying direct, but the transfer time is longer at approx 90 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.

Another option (less popular due to a 2½ to 3 hour transfer time) is by flying into ‘Paphos’ in the west of the island. Although If you manage to pick up some real bargain flights, this may be worth considering.

AIRPORT TRANSFERS & CAR HIRE
We always advise new guests to take a Taxi transfer to the property unless you are familair with the area. As already mentioned, transfer time from North Cyprus Ercan Airport is approx 40 minutes, whilst from Larnaca in South Cyprus it is approx 90 minutes.

The company we use are ‘Bellapais Rent a Car’. They are very reliable and highly recommended. If arriving at Ercan airport in North Cyprus they can arrange Taxi transfers to and from the airport.

If flying into Larnaca in South Cyprus 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.

A driver from Bellapais Rent a Car will be waiting outside airport arrivals holding up a card with your surname on. They also have an access code to the complex for when you arrive at the accomodation and can take you through the security gate right to your front door. Their e-mail address is info@bellapaisrentacar.com. You do not have to pay anything at all (not even a deposit) until they deliver your hire car to your accommodation.

NOTE: We dont recommend hiring a car at Larnaca and driving from South to North as there are complications with Insurance.

If you wish, we can arrange your car hire and airport transfers for you. Simply e-mail us all your travel details and we can arrange it on your behalf.

David & Lesley says: " We recently returned home to the UK and the only bad thing we can say about our stay was that we had to come home. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this complex and in particular this apartment to anyone. We have often stayed in Villas in the past but this apartment has everything that a villa would have, plus the added bonus of a MASSIVE POOL, one that you can actually properly SWIM in, as opposed to plunge pools in some other places weve stayed at. OK its a communal pool as opposed to a private one, but the complex is so peaceful that at times we had the whole pool entirely to ourselves!!! The Gymnasium was also great too. We have to commend the owners for the information folder too, as this was comprehensive and gave us all the info we needed plus the switches and equipment was all labeled so we knew what everything was. They have clearly put a lot of thought and attention into what guests need. The apartment was really nicely furnished too and very comfortable and the sunsets from the terrace are just fabulous. You do need to hire a car to get around but hire cars were very cheaply priced compared to other places in Europe weve been to and as Cyprus drives on the same side as Britain it was really easy. This was our first visit to Northern Cyprus but will definitely not be our last. We hope to return to this apartment next year, only for longer next time. Thank you for a wonderful time."
