Does anyone have a website for the wooden huts/cabins you can hire on Karpas? I came across something once and thought I saved it to favourites but cant find it! Thank you.

We laughed the first time we ever saw these huts as they were up on stilts and could just imagine trying to climb up the ladder in a drunken state to go to bed. Ashamed to say we haven't been to the Karpas for a couple of years now (keep promising to go but never get around to it) and it looks like the huts are a little better than they were a few years back.

I am sure it would be good fun just for one night - no longer though as I would miss the home comforts!!!! It's more for the kids really and hubby would enjoy it (I think)!!!!!!.

Does mosquito repellent work on sandflies too?

Hi BHW

Nothing works on sandflies for me. I've tried it all. Was really ill about 3 years ago when they first started all the building works on the island but haven't been bothered by them since so I don't know if you become immune after the first bad dose.

Spent the millenium at the Karpaz watching the dawn rise on the new millenium from the most eastern point of Europe. Many nationalties were there

and after kahvalti (breakfast) outside some of our Brit. girls swam in the turquoise sea - one German man joined for short time. For me it is wonderful.

Just came back from Karpas first week of May, stayed in log cabins on beach. No they are home made shacks with so much ventilation, we were freezing. Could be great when the temperature is hot. The ones on golden beach are sheds also, but the view is the most beautiful I have ever seen.



Its an adventure.

In fact, can someone confirm that all beaches in NC are public?

Not all beaches in NC are public - some you have to pay for but those

owned by Belediyise (municipality) like Agadi, are free. Most in Karpaz are free

to my knowledge

These huts looked real fun, not the once on stilts but further on at Burhans so decided to stay. It was so hot, sandflies, mosquitoes and spiders got inside the nets as there were large holes in them, and then at around 11pm they turn the generator off and you are in darkness unless you pay for a lamp. Spent most of the night outside until the bats decided to bomb us, so slept on the beach which was much better. For 70 ytl per hut could of stayed in a hotel but the experience will never be forgotten.

I spent 3 nights in the Amazon Rainforest in Peru and it sounds just like that, and I spent a damn sight more than 70 ytl a night, maybe I should try it and relive the horror-are there tarantulas in NC? spent one night trying to find the one that managed to regotiate all the traps I had put down, couldnt find it but did find tree frog!

Hunting for a bloody big tarantula is not easy in the pitch black
