My husband and I are looking at property in karsiyaka, Ozenkoy, Bellapais and Esentepe, and would like to know what facilities are in these areas eg restaurants, bars, shops etc. I also have a 18 year old daughter who would like a little more excitement. Are there any clubs etc in the area?



I have picked up so much information from this site, thank you to all the contributors. Looking forward to some interesting replies.

Hi Inver

Welcome.

I can only answer for Esentepe.

There's not too much for an 18 year old to do in my opinion. The clubs you see around are not clubs as we know them and I don't think you would like your daughter to visit one as they're strip clubs (which is why the majority are located in the middle of nowhere!)

Night Club = brothel

Not that I've ever been in one I hasten to add. The TRNC is not really an 18 year olds idea of good night life. Other extreme is the South of course.

Have a very good read of these forums before deciding on buying property in the North.

Hi Janet

I have a house in Karsiyaka.

I would find it difficult to rec it to an 18 year old, whilst there is no shortage of facilities ie restaurants , bars , shops etc within a reasonable distance

(by car) you should not expect to find this area or indeed any area within the TRNC that is developed to the extent that one finds in the major tourist areas ie Spain/Greece/Southern Cyprus, to many people this at the moment is one of the attractions of the TRNC this situation however im sure will change in the fullness of time.

Have fun and enjoy your visit , remember to keep reading the board you will find many members who have a wealth of info who will be only to willing to help you.

PS Note Karens comment re night clubs putting it more simple terms they are brothels

Ozankoy hasl bars and restaurants all within walking distance of the village. Some of the bars that surround the harbour in Girne are lively and cater more for the younger age group. There are some discos and escape beach is also a haunt for the younger age group. I remember UKTurk answering this question on another thread so hopefully he will give you more information than I can.

Good Luck

I have a house in Karsiyaka and enjoy the peace and quiet when I am over there. I have a 24 year old son and a 20 year old daughter and if they want entertaining they just go looking for it in Kyrenia.

As far as restaurants go we are not too far from a host of excellent ones' and, to be honest, you need a car in TRNC at the best of times so you are no time away from anywhere really.
