NORTHERN CYPRUS TO GAIN FIRST MAJOR MARINA AND ‘YACHT HOTEL’

The Karpaz Peninsula (or pan handle) of Northern Cyprus is one of the Mediterranean’s last undiscovered yachting areas. Completely free of industry and pollution, Karpaz stretches into the sea like a narrow finger pointing to the North East and is home to rolling countryside, wild donkeys, ancient Byzantine churches and mile upon mile of empty sandy beaches, bays, coves and inlets.

This stunning location will soon play host to the Karpaz Gate Marina – the world’s first ‘Yacht Hotel’ - currently under construction and project managed by Sea Alliance Group Limited.

Designed sensitively to complement the area’s unique natural beauty, the new development will open up this undiscovered corner of the Mediterranean to yacht owners and charter companies alike while providing Northern Cyprus with its first ever modern marina.

NEW BOWLING ALLEY OPENS

It’s a strike!! The new Kyrenia King’s Pin Leisure Centre has now opened.
King’s Pin manager, Hasan Kutluer said: “We are very happy …… now we have a European-style entertainment centre, not only for kids, but for people of all ages.
We have baby-sitters on site and a responsible person monitoring all the machines. Of course, we are newly opened so there are things we have missed, but we are working on everything.”
The Leisure complex is built on 5-donums of land. It includes a 12-lane bowling alley and employs nearly 70 staff. The centre uses a card system for all the games, rather than cash. Cards are topped up with one-tl credits at the desk and games cost different amounts. For instance, the rollercoaster costs ten credits and the Hummer car simulator costs five. The facility has a range of different restaurants and bars and is open every day from 10.00 am until late and can be found on the new bye-pass where a one-way stretch of carriageway is open – to 2-way traffic – between GAU Junction and Ezic Restaurant.
