When we went last summer the safari took us up to the top of ridge that runs from Dipkarpaz towards Apostolis Andreas so we could see both coastlines from the top. Very difficult to access unless you are a dedicated hiker. We particularly liked the views from the great yellow rock formation where we had coffee. The remote beach was stupendous - difficult to access and three beautiful bays with clear water. That is where we had our picnic and Pakize's catering was brilliant. She makes traditional Turkish koftes which we thought fabulous. It was a lovely half day out.

Wireless... What three kids would make of it? They would love the donkeys (seen at a distance) and the tractor ride through the fields and up to the crest of the hill is pretty exciting. The swimming where we had our picnic is brilliant, very safe for toddlers. They might be interested to know that Bulent and Pakize's family came up to the high pastures and Pakize took food up once a week. How other people live..

we have eaten at Damla on may occassions over the years. Lat summer the homemadse brandy ran out and we ended up in the whisky, not a good idea. We love the place



The Villa Carparis is a good place to stay close by

Pakize is being even more adventurous with her cooking. She wants to offer more Turkish and Cypriot dishes, than before.

She also makes Adana Kebabs now with a most delicious onion salad. She comes from that region.

And there is always a home made desert now. i have not had better Baklava and sweet börek!!

If it is donkey's you wish to see, there is plenty south of the border. They roam freely in South Nicosia where the grass is greener and all that and grows to the EU standards.

Sure, plenty of donkeys in the world, but only the Karpaz ones are the tourist attraction.

Hello

We'll be in TRNC in October, and this looks like the type of thing we'd be interested in. How far ahead would we need to contact/book?



Thanks

August is not so very busy. I'm sure we can accomodate you!

The trailer has a sun roof and there is always a lovely little breeze in the mountains. The lovely little beach is perfect I'm told as it has been cleaned by the Belediye recently. Lovely for swimming and snorkeling with the lunch table near by for a lovely 3 course picnic lunch.

Here are the pictures again:
