Karsiyaka - peace and quiet with a stunning mountain backdrop

In Karsiyaka, you get a real taste of true Cypriot life, unhurried, untouched by hotel complexes or overdevelopment, encouraging you to simply relax and go with the flow on your villa holiday in this quiet corner of Northern Cyprus. Not that quiet means no facilities; there are markets, a butcher, bakers, a barber and even an internet café all within close proximity of villas to rent in Karsiyaka.

Any villa to rent in Karsiyaka is only five minutes drive from the beautiful bay near the village, and Horseshoe Beach. Many UK visitors staying in a villa for rent in Karsiyaka feel at home on Horseshoe Beach, as it's pebbly! However, Horseshoe Beach offer good swimming and snorkeling for adults, and a beach restaurant for lunch to the sound of lapping waves. The golden sandy beaches at Denizkizi with safe, sheltered waters for children, is just a few minutes drive away towards Lapta. So too are the fascinating Roman fish tanks carved into the rocks at the far end of Mare Monte beach, well worth the stroll along the sands to discover. Inland, the nearby Gecitkoy reservoir is a lovely area for walking or bird watching.

You can explore a whole variety of historic sites, simply by renting a villa at Karsiyaka. Follow the road through the mountains to Güzelyurt, to the magnificent sweep of Guzelyurt Bay, and explore the ancient palaces at Soli and Vuoni.

For a really relaxing day in Karsiyaka, book into the exclusive Vaha spa, where the excellent value day membership offers a range of treatments (according to which package you choose), use of all facilities including the gym, access to yoga sessions when running, lunch in the restaurant and selected refreshments.

There are several good restaurants in the Karsiyaka area, including local fish restaurants down by the sea.

Try a generous portion of stifado, a game stew made with red wine, cinnamon, and onions. The Veni Vici restaurant is always busy with families enjoying a taste of Italy in north Cyprus, while ex-pats enjoy the beer, chat and atmosphere of the Stumble Inn and the sports screenings at JKs bar. The Vaha Spa also offers fine dining in its circular restaurant, accommodating just forty diners in elegant surroundings.
