The hotel is a short walk from the main road where you can easily hop on a minibus (dolmuş) to the east which will take you to Kyrenia town with a plethora of restaurants, shops, bars and cafes, including the beautiful and historic Kyrenia harbour and the magnificent Kyrenia Castle as well as a range of museums that provide an excellent insight into the intricate history of the island. Venturing to the west will take you to The Martyrs Monument and the Peace and Freedom Museum, as well as the purpose-built Lapta coastal walk for a breath-taking opportunity to experience the western Kyrenia coastline on foot. Further west is the popular Lapta strip with a vibrant scene including many chic restaurants and glitzy casinos.

Guests who would like to stay locally would not be disappointed as Karaoglanoglu village has plenty of amenities to keep you busy. These include the St Fanourios Church which is still quite an active Orthodox church, located on the top of the cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, said to be the location where St Fanourios fell to his demise while climbing the steep cliffs. There is also the pretty village of Karmi only a short drive from the hotel which will surely leave a lasting impression. Guests could also visit the local stables in Karaoglanoglu and Alsancak where they can take riding lessons or even hire horses for a day out in the mountains.
