Visiting Kyrenia in November and wonder if anyone can recommend any restaurants with good choice for veggies. I eat dairy but no meat or fish.

Does anyone have any dates for performances at the Amphitheatre in April 2010

Am planning to visit Kyrenia in June. Last visited about 10 years ago and found it a lovely, enchanting place. However... have just read a scarey couple of postings on TA which say that Kyrenia is much changed and not for the better, in particular, the poster said how run down it has become in recent years etc etc. Could anyone give me an honest appraisal of the situation before I make my final booking? Also, I was intending staying at Sammy's Hotel (can't stand 'posh' 5* ones!). Any comments on the hotel? And is it a walkable distance from the harbour? (Looks OK on the map, but maps can be misleading!). Any information you can give would be very, very gratefully received.

Hi there, As I would arrive at Larnaca in the afternoon, is there any bus or several buses that let me go through the border to Kyrenia? Please give me more information about the bus number, amount, venue and time table as I am a student and couldn't afford the expenses of having a taxi by myself. Thanks for your help. Winnie ^.^

Looking for up to date reviews on North Cyprus hotel to compare options for the lesser know hotels, and not having much luck. Does anyone know any good hotel review sites, apart from here at VT and Trip Advisor? (Preferably not written by people who only want to complain that it's not like home!)

Hi I am trying to compare travel times. I would like to know how long it takes to drive from Ercan airport to Karsiyaka (this is near Kyrenia)and also how long it takes to drive from Larnaca airport to Karisiyaka? I will not be taking a taxi. Friends will be collecting me in their car. They have told me either airport is ok but I don't want to inconvenience them if Larnaca is a much longer drive

It looks like the cheapest flying option from the UK is to go to Larnaca and travel across. How long does it take to drive, will it be possible to buy the additional required car hire insurance at approx 2am and do many of the Larnaca car hire companies actually refuse to let you take the car across? I know someone has previously suggested not telling them and then drive carefully but don't really want to take that risk. What is the approx taxi fare bearing in mind my flight arrives at around midnight? Was wondering if it would work out cheaper to get taxi to/from Larnaca and hire a car locally. Thanks in advance

I am booked in at the British hotel in Kyrenia for my next holiday and would like to know if anyone has any info about the place. I understand it is a small but pleasant B and B place.

I will be in Kyrenia on June 24th for a week and hope to go to Ayia Napa for a day/night when i am there. Is it easy to get a bus to Ayia Napa from Kyrenia and back again? thanks kerry

I was thinking about taking the ferry to Antalya and just looking about and maybe stay a few days? Do you know its schedule or its costs? Thank you very much. Happy holidays! ; - )

Ive recently visited North Cyprus with Mosaic Holidays, they were very poor with their service, and i found that they trully didnt care once they took our money!..

Hi , we are off to Kyrenia next week and have read that sterling or euros may be preferable to Turkish lira . Also is it common for commission to be charged on traveller cheques .

We will go for holidays to northern Cyprus on Sep/Oct break. Browsing this discussion I came to conclusion that car hire is almost essential to spend time in TRNC meaningfuly. There are several companies tendering car-hire service on the web in Kyrenia vicinity, but some personal experience would be of great value. Is it better to make reservartion through net in advance or I would negotiate personally after arrival? Are the prices comparable or incommensurable? Which traps I would be aware of? Let me know, please, if somebody has really surpassing or awesome adventures. ... and the last, although petty question: what is the actual petrol price?
