Take the coast road to Tatlisu, then over the mountain to Getickale. Main road to the Iskele junction. Goto Iskele and just keep driving. You'll get there eventually. Roll on the day the new road is totally complete to take quickly to the Karpas.

Very easy.... From Turtle Bay, head towards Esentepe and just follow the road until you get to a crossroads, there is a bungalow in front of you on your right. Then just past the bungalow where the road branches off, turn right and head towards Getcitkale. Go to the end of this road and turn left, heading towards Iskele. Go to the end of this road and turn left again, you are now on the road that goes straight into the Karpaz, through Bogaz and Yeni Erenkoy. It is really simple and will take you 45 mins to 1 hr if you dont stop! There are other routes along the coast, but they take longer. If you went the coastal way, just follow your nose and turn right when you feel like it and you will eventually find a village with the Karpas sign posterd from it!



Hope this helps.

Thanks both of you! Will probably take the quicker route with two kids in tow!

45 minutes to an hour ??



Yeah if you are in a jump jet,in a car sticking to the speed limit you can add a hour on to that.I takes about 2 hours at a steady rate.

Do keep your speed down on the Karpas Peninsula, Wild Donkeys make pretty big dents!
