Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus
|
 |
| With its stunning interior
dominated by the ‘Five Finger’ mountain range and
with a string of picture postcard, unspoilt villages and beaches
dotted along its coast, northern Cyprus is, without doubt, a
gem of a destination just waiting to be discovered. Picturesque
Kyrenia, with its bustling harbour and narrow, winding streets,
is full of atmosphere and local life whilst either side of the
town (the nearest being approximately 10 minutes away by dolmus)
you will find lovely beaches and rocky coves lapped by the crystal
clear waters of the Mediterranean. It’s very easy to get
around as car hire is inexpensive and there’s also an excellent
dolmus (public minibus) service. There’s a sense of history
and culture everywhere you look with ancient settlements, churches
and castles to explore whilst in Famagusta, a beautiful, walled
city on the east coast, there’s a wealth of history and
a pedestrianised shopping area. An absolute must is a visit
to the ruins of the ancient city of Salamis, beautifully preserved
and with the most important archaeological site in the whole
of Cyprus. It’s stunningly beautiful, amazingly friendly,
easy on the pocket and highly recommended. |
| The Nostalgia is an absolutely
delightful hotel, located just a three minute stroll from Kyrenia’s
attractive harbourfront and enjoying the sights and sounds of
village life at its best. All the facilities and amenities of
a modern resort are close to hand – shops, cafes, bars
and restaurants – but, being situated in the old quarter,
you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re in a different
world once you’re in the hotel. The Nostalgia comprises
two small buildings set in a quaint narrow street in the part
of Kyrenia which dates back to Ottoman times. The hotel itself
is a restored, traditional stone-walled Cypriot house with wellappointed,
air-conditioned bedrooms, all with private shower & wc,
telephone and TV. All Travel One guests will be staying in the
hotel’s recently upgraded “Heritage” rooms –
spacious and very comfortable. There’s a lovely feel of
olde worlde nostalgia all around the hotel whilst the restaurant
is known locally for its excellent cuisine and friendly, efficient
service. There’s a welcoming pool for a relaxing dip and,
of course, there are sunbeds and parasols for guests’ use.
As we say, a delightful hotel! |
