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'll never want to return to a Hotel again. As the saying goes, ''Once bitten, forever smitten''.

Whether it's soaking up the Sun on one of the lovely sandy beaches, 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.

GETTING THERE
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 operator's 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 Morlais 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 Monarch, XL, 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 guests to take a Taxi transfer to get to the property. 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 will collect you from the airport free of charge if you hire a car from them for 7 days or more, and take you back to Ercan airport at the end of your stay.

If flying into Larnaca in South Cyprus they can collect you from there too. There is a charge of £40.00 each way for the Taxi. However, this is the TOTAL cost for the Taxi and up to seven people, so is very good value.

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 website is www.bellapaisrentacar.com although we recommend you simply e-mail them at info@bellapaisrentacar.com and ask them for a quote. You do not have to pay anything at all (not even a deposit) until they deliver your hire car to you at your accommodation.

NOTE: We don't recommend hiring a car at Larnaca and driving from South to North as there are complications with Insurance.

If required we can arrange your car hire and airport transfers. Simply e-mail us your travel details and we can arrange it for you.

Stephen says: "This is probably one of the best appartments that we have ever rented. From the start the company recommended by the owner for car hire was excellent. They collected us from the airport at 11.30 at night and delivered the car the next day. The drive after a days travelling would not be welcome especially in the dark. Then they delivered us back to the airport. The delivery and collection service is free and the car rental as competative as the rest. The appartment was just perfect and was described to perfection and all the joining instructions were perfectly set out. Inside the appartment was an instruction manual that covered everything and was well received. The balcony, a sun trap, was great with views over the sea and land and the perfect place to sit out with the sun on the terrace all day. The fixtures and fitting within the appartment were of a very high standard and it felt comfrotable to stay. We only wished that we could have stayed another week. The pool was beautiful and we also used the well equiped gym. I would certainly go back to this appartment."
