If you do the coast road,about 2 hours direct to Dipkarpaz,coffees and view stopping and another hour.

About half hour to monastry,another hour to stop and look fabulous beaches.

If time take your toothbrush and stay in a beach hut.

Make sure you know the right turn in Dipkarpaz.

Hi we just did it 2 weeks ago, we took several hours along the coast road, stopping for a dip here and there, stayed overnight at Bacli Plazza, (very good) and went on to Golden Sands beach the next day. Quicker drive home to Karmi via the faster roads via Iskele etc took exactly 2 hrs, it was 168km to Karmi.

Would def recommened the overnight stay to see more of this lovely area.

Hope that helps.
