Thanks for the reminder Mrs Snakes, and also Ian for posting the link to the program - I'd looked but not found it

Almaz - If you can find Zeytinlik, just follow your ears and your nose!

From Karaoğlanoğlu, follow the road up by the side of Ship Inn - it's signposted from there

From Lapta, may be best to go up the little lane that runs diagonally from the GAU traffic lights, look out for Zeytinlik sign

From Girne, go left at the Fountain roundabout, & then immediately right - again, look out for Zeytinlik sign

All of the above routes bring you into the lower end of the Village, where there is a large, well organized free car park.

You can reach Zeytinlik from the new bypass, (it's then towards the sea) but as the square and road are occupied by the festival, I doubt that you would be able to reach a suitable parking spot

I believe there is also a Dolmuş service to Zeytinlik, but I don't have any details re. terminus, frequency, or last bus time.

We went last night and took our friends who are staying with us, it was really buzzing and a super atmosphere, lots of little craft stalls, olive oil, jars of olives, olive soap etc, food area and bar open and live music too. Go and enjoy! Regards, Mrs Snakes.
