Hi There,
We are thinking of going to Kyrenia next year for a holiday but am concerned about all the reviews regarding bulding work and also traffic congestion. Is it really that bad? I really dont want to hear the constant noise of building work going on!! Have looked at The Hideaway club and also the Pia Bella hotel. Please can someone also let me know how much eating out is and drinks? Have been to Cyprus (paphos and Protaris) and had brilliant holidays but thought the North may be more %26#39;unspoilt%26#39;? Please can I have some advice??
With Thanks x

the traffic on the Kyrenia bypass is certainly a constant pain. If you stay at Hideaway you will be well away from this until you head for town. Pia Bella, although within the town, should be reasonably OK although it can get busy around the pool ( non residents may use it ).
Re eating out. Depends on what and where. Generally, traditional kebabs etc will be cheaper than international cuisine. 2 courses plus a beer or glass of wine about £8 per person ( trad), or £12 ( int). Of course, depending on where you go prices will vary a lot. The harbour will be expensive and usually not as good as those out of town or back from the sea.

Thankyou for your help Gibson. Just one more question! Is the Hideaway Club near all the restaurants? Are there any in walking distance or would be have to take the bus or a taxi? Is there a bus running from near The Hideaway club or is it to remote? Thankyou for your help x

Hideaway is not on any bus route that I know. It is in an area called Edremit and the last time I was there the only restaurant was almost next door, the rather swish Indian place Jashan. The area is about 1 mile inland from the sea and about 3 miles from town so taxis will be required to get to most restaurants. You will find several in Karaglanouglu which is on the main road about 3/4 mile from Hideaway. Some have great settings right on the sea.
|||
PS, why not hire a car for a couple of days to get familiar with the area then you can decide if you need one for more time- there are many excellent places within a few miles of Hideaway.

Thankyou for your help. Hideaway looks lovely but was wondering if it%26#39;s maybe a bit too far out? How much are taxis to Kyrenia from there? Like the sound of the indian restaurant though! Do you know if its expensive and if the food is nice?
I appriciate your help!!!!!
Thanks x

Sorry Gibson but I have another question for you!!!! Ive just typed in %26#39;Karaoglanoglu%26#39; in to a search engine and it came up with a few restaurants! Is this the place that is 3/4mile from The Hideaway club? If so thats not too far to walk for a meal and a few drinks!!! Is the road safe to walk along?
Thanks AGAIN x
|||
yes, that`s the right place. Depends on time of year for walking back ( uphill ). It regularly gets to over 38 C in July and August.
|||
Jashans used to be very expensive by local standards, particularly the drinks ( prices not on show, either! ). Food was superb, staff and equipment brought in from India. If you go there, make sure you check the table layout first and book one with the best view.
|||
The road was not busy last time I was there but might be now due to development. Some of local driving can be a bit %26quot;unpredictable%26quot; so keep alert just in case.

Thankyou for your very quick and helpful replies! x
